89 cents > $54

I haven't been picking up Cutch cards anywhere close to the way I was getting them for the past 3 years.  I used to average a card a day in the mail.

The lack of physical cards ending up in my mailbox hasn't stopped me from continuously looking for great deals though.

For some reason there seems to be unknown short print cards of Cutch each year.

2016 Allen & Ginter relics come to mind as does this Target exclusive 2018 Heritage High Number insert.

Being a retail exclusive definitely makes it tougher to get, but the difference between what some people who know how rare this card is compared to those that don't is mind blowing.

On one scale you have one being sold for $54.

On the other scale you have one that finished at $0.89


So how did I do for my 89 cent winning bid?

Slurpee Day. Happy 7-11!!!!

During the summer months in the late 80s early 90s it was intensely hot on the house I grew up in.  We didn't have air conditioning and had to find ways to keep as cool as possible.  I have a lot of memories of my mom getting Coke Slurpee cravings and my dad driving 10 minutes to the nearest 7-11 to get her her fix.  Of course my dad would also get me one and would get a big smile on his face when on the bottom of my Slurpee cup was a baseball disc ala Sportsflix of a player I collected.

The majority of my baseball cards I had as a kid are long gone, but I remember getting super excited about Roger Clemens being on the bottom of my cup one night.

7-11 hasn't done a promotion like this for nearly two decades.

The closest thing that has been produced to resemble the tiny circular discs is a 2013 Panini Hometown Heroes Sportsdisc.

The front of the tiny disc has the sportsflix look to it.

While the back has a quick snapshot of the player's career.

Of course I have two different parallels to these backs. The base and black.  I still need the gold.

What are your favorite Slurpee flavors?
