i took part in one of the affordable group box breaks hosted by colbey at cardboard collections recently. it was for the one and done 2017 honus bonus release. i had actually opened a couple of packs of this when it came out (the packs were included in an ebay purchase from a seller that i used to buy a bunch of loose packs from) but i had found no dodgers in those packs.
i wasn't able to join any of the subsequent breaks, so i requested shipment of the cards. when they arrived, this was the card that was showing on top.
scott kazmir pitching in san francisco threw me for a loop. my first instinct was "these are the wrong cards". i had completely forgotten that kazmir was a dodger in 2016. the lack of logos didn't help, but the next card put me in the right mind.
that's a clayton kershaw silver foil parallel. the rest of the cards from my haul were normal, recognizable dodgers:
it's a colorful black & white set.
colbey also threw in some cards, perhaps from a different break? these were 1995 topps bazooka cards, and among the dodgers he included were these two guys
tim wallach and billy ashley just happened to be the two dodgers i was missing from my team set! i had not expected to complete a team set with this break, so this was a very pleasant surprise.
i encourage you to watch colbey's site. his affordable group breaks feature some fun releases, and they are quite affordable. thanks colbey!
Kazmir pitched really well for the Oakland A's for a year or two. If he was a Dodger in 2016... that must mean he was in Oakland in 2014 or 2015. Time sure flies.
