I had a lot of these cards growing up, as we had an old lady family friend who went to Denny's quite often. She's bring these cards over for me. They were always a blast to open, but I never collected a full set.
The 28-card set is full of big names. The hologram actually is a small video-type clip too. You can see a players complete swing, slide into a base, or in Ozzie Smith's case, complete back flip. It's a little different than their holograms of year's past.
Glad the set arrived safely. Lol... actually it was a card show (for once). I've been in sort of a flea market slump as of late :(
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm going to try to break out of it this morning. Thanks for participating in the contest!
do you have extras? I am missing 3 from the set. my blog has them listed . I cant remember off top of my head. I think its Maddux, Seitzer and jeff king
ReplyDeleteI definitely have Seitzer. I saw it this morning.
DeleteAn extra Seitzer that is.
DeleteGreat! When I said Jeff King, I meant Jay Bell, got my Pirate IFers mixed up. I probably have some random Yankee cards for you in exchange. some random inserts including Ruth, Gehrig, plus more recent players. I have some yankee stadium legacy inserts, and 2001 ud legends of ny base cards(bought a box back then..never tried for a set)
ReplyDeletemore of my wantlist is on my blog. also, looking at your site, In your HOF selection. Maury Wills isnt one. I have been working on a HOF collection myself.
Derek - shoot me an email: thelostcollector AT gmail DOT com. I'll gladly send the Seitzer your way if you send me your address.
DeleteAnd yes, I find out about Wills after I bought I had incorrectly thought he was a HOFer. However, I figured it's a cool card of a good player, so it can stay despite being inaccurate.
Congratulations, those Denny's sets are pretty cool.
