Let's finish up these
Jaybarkerfan Epic flat rate boxes! Oh, by the way, two more have arrived since I started posting these. I'll never be caught up!
Pack 13
What a bad ass outfield this would have been! They would have tracked down everything in the air, especially in their younger days. Looks like these shots were both taken at the same time on team photo day!
Just before these boxes arrived, I almost bought this card for $1 at the LCS near my mother-in-law's house. I didn't buy it at the time, and then it shows up? Spooky stuff! Great Yankees Stadium shot, by the way.
Pogs! Or bottlecaps! My generation called these pogs. They got really big around 1994 for a short while. I never got into them, although I did get a case of them in my Easter Basket one year. I also remember trying to collect all of the World Cup ones in 1994.
And the card of the pack? A Tino bat relic, of course!
Total cards in pack: 30
Running total: 458
Pack 14
Another relic! This sweet Jordan Shipley has two jersey swatches and a piece of football. I don't have anything like it in my collection. Wes always hooks me up with sweet Bengals.
This Mickey Mantle card has always meant a lot to me. When it first came out, my mom was at the mall and noticed a small card show going on. She bought it for me for $5 and was really proud of it.
Fleer Ultra Pro Debut!
A great SI for Kids card of the Great Bambino!
More pogs! I just need a slammer and I'm all set!
And my card of the pack? I don't know why, but I just love this old Fleer Mattingly. The red, white, and blue, plus Mattingly's iconic follow through just make for an incredible card.
Total cards in pack: 41
Running total: 499
Love the Fleer Mattingly
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes to that Mattingly! I also really like those pogs, too. What does that tab in the middle do? Do they stand up or something? I've never thought about it before. The old Colt 45s logo is super slick.....great Tino relic to cap it off!
