These 64 cards were sent by Tim of Suffolk, Virginia.  Tim has what must be a neighbor very near by named Russel who sent me cards back in 2022. Tim's offering was a nice mix spanning Wallach's entire career that included seven rookie cards.  I typically don't see a lot of rookie cards in the mail, which I understand.  When you start going back to 1982, you're going back far enough that sending cards to a stranger might start to feel like less of a good idea, and if the most recent price guide I have (from about 2008) is to be believed, an '82 Wallach still demands 60¢ to ..read more

These five cards were sent by Tom, with the "Saints Prison Ministry."  Tom has been sending me cards going back to 2014, but the return address has always been Peoria, Illinois.  It appears the organization has relocated. You can learn more about the "Saints Prison Ministry" by clicking the image below: Thanks for the cards Tom, hope the ankle is feeling better.

These 17 cards were sent by "Meatball" of Saugus, California.  That's a suburb of Santa Clarita outside of Los Angeles.  Also one of the more unique names I've seen used on a return address.  Thanks for the cards "Meatball."

These 12 cards were sent by "Dan" of Ramsey, New Jersey.  "Max" who runs the card blog "The Starting 9" is also from Ramsey New Jersey.  Dan, if you and "Max" are the same person, let me know, and I'll correct this post, the map, and may stats as to who has sent what over the years.  If not, you have a neighbor who has also been generous enough to sent me Wallach cards. In any event, thank you for the cards Dan, they are very much appreciated.

This box, stuffed with 863 Wallach cards, was sent to by Mike of Escondidio, California.  Mike is a long time collector who stumbled onto my blog and in an act of incredible generosity, sent these cards my way.  It's one of the larger mailings I've ever received and took no small amount of time to sort.  I can't imagine how much time it took Mike to pull these from what sounds like a rather large collection of cards.  Below are photos of all the cards inside and updated totals for each. I opted to sort these by brand before taking pictures of them this time instead of m ..read more

These 10 Wallach cards, 1988 Topps Sticker Book and Sega Genesis RBI Baseball '93 instruction manual were sent by Dan of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.  It's at least the fourth time Dan has sent cards in the last three years.  The Sticker Book is blank, but Dan was nice enough to tab what pages Wallach is mentioned on, same with the RBI Baseball instruction book.  The wrappers were what the cards were packed in, which is always a nice touch that a few readers make a point to do. Also mentioned was that a few of the Topps were "Glow Backs."  I've probably have about 3,000 1991 ..read more

These 4 cards were sent by Kerry of Portland, Oregon.  This is (by my count) the fifth time Kerry has sent cards going back to 2016.  Perhaps I'm biased, but I think the '88 Donruss Wallach is one of the better looking cards in the set.  I consider '88 Donruss to be maybe the ugliest design of the 1980's, but within the set, this Wallach stands out.  That's not something I say about every Wallach card.  For instance, I consider the 1990 Fleer Wallach to be perhaps the worst looking card in an otherwise decent looking set.  It's out of focus, sun bleached, and bl ..read more
