Do you ever on eBay and buy something on a whim? I must admit that I try to avoid doing that but every now and then I break down and click that "buy" button without much thought. Today's mail day is the proof of me doing that recently:
That's a 2016 Panini Pantheon Noble Timber relic card which happens to be numbered out of 99. There's nothing particularly special about this card - it's unlicensed, the two relics are both chunks of wood, etc. but I do like the fact that the card is die-cut at least.
Still, no real reason for my to have bought this one - after all, I'll never actually own every Barry Larkin card so why bother with stuff like this? Well, I can't tell you why other than it is what it is and now I need one less Panini card!
Even better, I'm now one card closer to having all* of the Barry Larkin cards from 2016. For whatever reason, I hardly have any cards of Barry from 2016. The Noble Timber card is only my 8th Larkin from 2016 (for context, I'm still missing 54 cards). A long ways to go but perhaps a few more nights on eBay with a weak resolve will get me closer again in the future!
*only cards with a stated print run of at least 25 copies are considered for my collecting purposes.
