I got two PWEs from the Lost Collector helping me out with the 2020 Archive set. 18 cards. Thank you very much! They arrived on different days, which I thought was strange, assuming they were mailed on the same day. I also thought it was strange that there were no cards from the 1974 design.
You know what else I find strange? Players that have an amazing start to their career and then just drop off. I'm talking about players that appear to be on track for the Hall of Fame and then just flame out. Most of the time due to injuries. Such is the case with these two players, both of which were sent to me by the Lost Collector.
Tim Lincecum pitched from 2007 - 2016 and was absolutely dominant between 2008 - 2014. He won back to back Cy Young awards in 2008 and 2009, pitched two no-hitters, was a 4 time All-Star and helped the Giants to three World Series championships. Injuries and a hip surgery halted his dominance on the mound and led to him retiring from baseball after the 2016 season.
Eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2022, I suspect that he will get a few votes, but he won't get in. He might not even get enough votes to remain on the ballot.

Interesting that they include Timmy (and Ryan) in this year's set. I liked both of them, but kinda surprised they made the cut.
ReplyDeleteKind of like them for Archives since the Fan Favorites angle is one I appreciate over seeing the usual all-time greats.
DeleteSorry just seeing this. I didn't have any 1974s you needed. I wonder if it's a collation thing and that similar ones are all grouped together, so I got the same ones you did? Wouldn't surprise me.
ReplyDeleteI did mail them at the exact same time!
