eBay Wins #208

Today's eBay lot is 23 cards from 1986 Topps. They're not as miscut as they look; I used a different scanner than usual, and it doesn't like to go quite to the edges like my normal one. These cards were a penny each.

1986 Topps
#57 Bill Doran
#96 Blue Jays Leaders
#149 Brett Butler
#161 Lee Tunnell
#216 A's Leaders
#219 Dennis Lamp
#244 Craig Lefferts
#312 Tom Filer
#338 Jorge Bell
Lee Tunnell is the only Cardinal in this group. Lee actually didn't play in 1986, and came to the Cardinals for 1987. I've only shown him on my blog one other time, and it was the same card.

1986 Topps
#364 Reid Nichols
#367 Aurelio Lopez
#388 Dickie Noles
#393 Chris Pittaro
#396 Red Sox Leaders
#488 Lou Thornton
#525 Marvell Wynne
#548 Mike Young
Aurelio Lopez played for the Cardinals in 1978 before moving on to Detroit, but his was not a name I could remember hearing before.

1986 Topps
#628 Kirk McCaskill
#647 Mel Hall
#668 Cecilio Guante
#718 Jorge Bell
#768 Vern Ruhle
#784 Alan Bannister
My second Jorge Bell card of this lot is his All Star card. I always think these are inserts when I first see them, but back in 1986 they were part of the base set.

6 of these are duplicates, so I added 17 cards to my 1986 Topps set. It's quite the inefficient way to build a set, as I'm only up to 146 unique cards.
