$20 Scumbucket Grab Bag 3.5

2015 Bowman's Best Nick Gordon Hi-Def Heritage
Like the patch card added earlier, this is a THICC card.  Gordon made his MLB debut long after this card was produced, in 2021.  Nick was the Twins' starting second baseman this season, before fouling a pitch off his leg, breaking the tibia.  Currently on the 60-day DL.
 
Twenty bucks.

$20 Scumbucket Grab Bag 3.4

Bonds, LaRussa, and Frank
Is there any rhyme or reason as to this group of cards?  Not really.  Here's the rationale for letting each one go.
Bonds: That's just one of the best looking inserts of the early 1990s.  The primary color splashes on the black border?  Chef's kiss.  I already completed this insert set, so this one needs to find a second home.
LaRussa: I don't like the way he's looking at me.  And I hate him.
Thomas: No explanation needed.

Twenty bucks for everything.

$20 Scumbucket Grab Bag 3.2

14 Topps Premier League Soccer Cards

I could look up exactly what set these are from, but why expend that kind of effort?  These came in a free pack from a purchase from an online retailer.  The Mo Salah is probably the best card, but there are some inserts and parallels lurking beneath.

Want in on this lot?  Twenty big ones, chief.

$20 Scumbucket Grab Bag 3.1

1989 Topps Nolan Ryan Box Bottom
It doesn't come through so well on camera, but this card has a very slight blue tint to separate it from the regular cards in the set.  It's also has a wonky cut, adding to the character of the piece.

$20 Scumbucket Grab Bag 3.0

2002 Fleer Tradition Magglio Ordonez Plays of the Week

You may have noticed the price change.  That's because I'm going to try to add better cards at a faster rate this summer.  If you're new to this, here's how it works.  The price of this lot is a fixed $20.  I add cards (or other things) to the lot.  At any point, anyone can claim the lot for $20.  If no one claims it after a day or so, something else gets added.  Wait too long to claim the pile, you run the risk of someone else swiping it from under your nose. 

Keep checking this space, new stuff added daily.

$15 Scumbucket Grab Bag 2.20

Three 2019 Opening Day Mascot Inserts
Let's see, we've got an eagle, a horse, and some sort of attention disorder come to life.  Actually, that's Raymond, the Rays' mascot, who is identified as Canus Manta Whatthefluffalus, a type of sea dog.  Wondering if that's the first time that particular word has appeared on a baseball card.

Buy this entire lot for $15.
