Year in Pics and New Wallet Cards!

 

This is the progression of wear on one of my 2024 wallet cards. The full extent of the damage to my selection of Bo Jackson cards can be seen in a post recapping the many adventures they underwent. There are fighter jets, insect swarms, genetically enhanced plants, and much more across 32 pictures of how they spent the year.

Detailed reviews of a couple of 1986 Topps Traded wallet cards soon followed with a focus on the Topps debuts of Bo Jackson and Jose Canseco. As usual, these include a history of how the cards came to occupy their current place in the hobby as well as a walk through the past and present trade opportunities that they offer. I never swung a trade involving either of these cards, but wonder if any of you had any experience swapping them in or out of your collection?

Join me in taking things a bit too far with the Wallet Cards of 2025:
