I don't go all crazy over relic cards, the hype on those died out years ago for me. Much like everything else in the card collecting world, overproduction has taken over. We had the junk wax era, I think from about 2002-present we can safely call the junk relic era. Autographs have become a victim of overproduction as well. I read somewhere the other day that Vladimir Guerrero Jr has signed over 15,000 cards in 2019 alone. Wow.





Anyway, I got some Dodger relics cards for next to nothing and they came in the mail today.









The upside to the overproduction is getting to pick up gems like this 2018 Panini Diamond King DK Materials Pee Wee Reese on the cheap. 1st relic I own of Pee Wee and I love it. Looks like a bat shard and jersey. Card states game used material but who knows from when, who or where.





2002 Playoff Piece of the Game Jersey Relic of Kevin Brown. This one is #'d/250 and says its an actual game used jersey.





Also scored this sweet 2018 Topps Major League Material Corey Seager. This one says "Game Used Memorabilia".





2019 Gallery Dennis Santana Autograph. My first auto of Santana. I think I have a 2019 Chrome Blue Autograph of his incoming as well.





Also scored this 2018 Panini Flawless Carl Furillo Game Used Relic #'d/15. The material on this one actually does look and feel old.









Verdugo and Buehler 2018 Topps Fire Rookie Cards also arrived in this package. First 2018 Fire Dodgers in my collection. I really like how they look like cards straight out of the 90's.





2018 Gallery Walker Buehler RC. My 2018 Gallery Dodgers are lacking as well. I think I only have Verdugo, Farmer and now Buehler.





And to close out this package a 2018 Topps Chrome Freshman Flashback Alex Verdugo. Any time I get a new Verdugo card I'm stoked. Really hoping Dugie comes back from his back injury strong in 2020.





I like relic cards, but I don't like the way they stretch out my binder pages.
