My running Tony Kemp Topps Parallel Thread/Obsession - Page 2

VandyCards · 09-17-2020, 03:44 PM

Got these in today. Oddly enough both of these were from sellers that originally sent me the wrong cards. The seller of the Golds sent me two base, and the seller of the Mother’s Day sent me a MATT kemp Mother’s Day. But, they both got here today.

For the second, huge thanks to rngrdanny22 for the 3 Rainbow Foils and 3 Golds! Awesome members are what make this board so fun, and I really appreciate everyone’s help in my journey to collect literally every TK parallel that’s been made.

Today’s mail:

Up to 6 2020 Camo /25s. I wonder how many of these advanced stat cards will get into the world since they look otherwise like base.

Really nice. I love it when people go deep collecting a "common" player. He was fun to watch with the Astros and I was a little disappointed they traded him.

Thanks! Turns out there are a few other hardcore TK collectors (one is a friend who has a lot of his game used items and all). But, always on the lookout. Hopefully the A's make a deep run and he has some postseason moments.

Is that camo #14/25? If so came from me and glad it made it to a good home!

WildBlueYonder · 09-22-2020, 07:41 PM

How many Topps Now card #271 did you order?

None, actually. I'm not a huge believer in ToppsNow. I might pick up one or two on the secondary market, but my main focus is serial numbered flagship issues.

I do believe it is! Thanks!

VandyCards · 09-28-2020, 05:09 PM

Saturday and today’s mail. Loading up on the golds. I have a couple rare ones that are stuck in USPS limbo for a while. Hopefully someone pokes the machine with a stick and the cards get moved along

Here’s hoping he is able to make some noise in the playoffs!

Quite a few in today.

3 more 2019 gold, 5 more of the gorgeous 2018. Up to 37 2019 golds lol.

Some 2020 advanced stat parallels, and another black.

As always, if you have some, let me know!

Thanks!

VandyCards · 10-03-2020, 12:20 PM

2020 Father’s Day #8. Almost at a full page. Still only 2 Mother’s Day parallels.

Thanks as always for the look, and for those busting factory sets and sapphire, let me know if you get any Kemp!

The 2020 Mother’s Day pinks look more bronze than anything. But another gold, pink, and my 10th 2019 Black.

Got a Father’s Day 2018 that’s been stuck at a sorting facility since 9/2. Oh well lol.

One single solitary, sightly dinged 2020 gold today. Only have 15 of these. How Embarrassing!

This thread is AWESOME. I don’t know the player and I don’t follow the sport much, but I do love cards and your dedication to the player/sets is very impressive and inspiring.

Well done & keep up the great work on these hoards!

Thanks for the kind words!

Hopefully some folks actually open their Topps Sets and Sapphire so some kemp cards can shake down.

Today’s arrivals:

2 more 2020 golds, and a nice delivery of 2017 and 2019 sapphires. A little bummed out because the large order they came in didn’t even sleeve the cards. There were some other condition sensitive (albeit low dollar) cards in the order, and they all came as a stack between two pieces of cardboard in a team bag. I don’t think that they needed to be on a toploader each, but a penny sleeve would’ve been nice.

Anyway.

Second photo is a nice little ToppsNow deal I got. I usually don’t go for them, but a solid price on /5 will do it. Especially since evasive slides are something TK’s been doing since HS and college.

Thanks as always for the look and don’t forget to check your cheapie boxes for Tony Kemp parallels!

Some recent mail that I took a picture of but forget to post. Two more 2019 golds. First mini of any kind (have some on comc but who knows when I will actually have them). Walgreens yellow was the right price so I couldn’t say no. As for the 2020 factory set gold stars....not sure how many I’ll be hoarding. I can’t tell if/how scarce they are. Haven’t seen any of his other factory set parallels yet.

Thanks as always for the look! Should be having more come in soon.
