My main supplier of Tony Gwynn cards, Gawain, managed to squeeze a parcel to me just before the "Fire Break" lockdown began here in Wales. Along with some other cards I didn't have, Gawain included a parallel which is one of today's Tuesday Twins.
This is the card it's a twin of, which I blogged about back in September. It's the DonRuss retro card released in 2018.
Card Number 440: DonRuss (Green Parallel), 2018; #258
These foil-edged parallel cards were exclusive to blaster boxes with five green parallels per box (on average).
Last time I wrote about this cardback I commented on the term "Professional Batting Totals" and ignored the summary paragraph. One of the good things about parallels is revisiting cards and looking at them afresh. I hadn't clocked the description for my side-project of 'different ways Tony is described on cardbacks'. "As steady as the San Diego climate" is going on that list!
Total cards: 440
It's a little too warm for me during the summer, but whenever I've gone down to SD... the weather has been pretty darn gorgeous.
