Big and small

I came across a random lot of late 90s - early 00s cards on eBay. I wasn't looking for a lot like this but happened to stumble across it. I still need so many cards from this era, that it was a fun get for the minimum bid. Kind of what I used to sometimes find at garage sales, back when you could find cards at garage sales.

Some cards that stuck out to me. Interesting shiny insert card that's a video game ad. Two '86 Angels rookies from a 2005 set. I was annoyed that they didn't color match, until I realized the orange is actually a parallel numbered to /399. It's perfect for an Angels card. I already had the two UD cards on the bottom but wanted to highlight how we still would get interesting photos 20 years ago.
While there weren't many star cards, there were a few A-Rods. Some more obscure modern cards of older players as well. 
Earlier today, I traded Al another box of Braves cards. He didn't have much in return today, just some sheets of junk wax and slightly older Topps. I did take one sheet home, as I noticed the yellow OPC logo. There was even an extra OPC on the back. I only needed the top two cards; the others are all available.
