A Very Vogel PWE

Earlier in the week we had a mailbox in the neighborhood fall victim to fireworks being set off inside. I saw it on my walk the morning after and it looked a bit charred and quite dented. Our neighborhood's Facebook group filled me in on the rest.

John, your host for the Big Fun Game and author Johnny's Trading Spot, sent me a seven card PWE which landed in my mailbox the other day. Somehow my mailbox withstood the blow of SEVEN Vogelbombs. Yes, our mailbox is built of some otherworldly metal for sure.

2017 Fire, A&G, Topps and Chrome rookie cards!
I should be able to retire on these beauties after Vogelbach wins a couple of MVPs. 

2018 Heritage:
If I ever have an opportunity for an in-person autograph of the Vogelmonster again I'm using this card for sure. 

2019 Topps:
Was I upset Vogelbach didn't have a card in Topps' flagship product until Update came out? Sure I was, but I forgave Topps for making me wait when I learned it would be an All-Star card. Check out the star with the one inside it on his bulging bicep. So cool!

2020 Topps:
After making the All-Star team and mashing 30 homers in 2019 Topps decided to place Vogelbach on its Series 1 checklist in 2020. Smart choice!

Thanks for a very Vogel PWE, John!  I'll be on the look out for some unique Braves for you.

  2. Vogelmonster makes some great cards. I like the Topps Fire a lot.

  3. Dupes (for you) or not, they are still better off at your house than in a box at mine.

    1. Their all dupes, but that doesn't tarnish their greatness in any manner!

  4. Strong batch if cards! I would have gone with "plain white envogelope" in the title.

    1. Oh, man! Did I miss an opportunity there. If you don't mind I'll use that one next time!

  5. That Heritage card would be the perfect card to get signed. Hope you get the opportunity to meet him one day.

  6. Heritage rocks and Vogel's card in that set is classic.
