I have wanted this card for a long, long time. I had the Kirby Puckett one growing up (I still do), and felt that the O'Neill would have been a great addition to my Yankees collection. In fact, I won one on eBay a few years ago, but it never arrived.
This one came courtesy of Listia. I didn't let it out of my sight, and was able to win it for a reasonable price, credit-wise.
It has a little bit of everything. It's clearcut, although not fully transparent because of the colors. The colors themselves are vibrant and refractor-like. This would definitely be a set that I'd love to see Topps bring back in a new Stadium Club issue.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Glad you got it! Hope it isn't sticky. The plastic they used for them can turn on you some times. Those were great times for collecting.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting a card of the Kool Aid man.
ReplyDeleteI was going to bid on that card, or I did. Can't remember, glad it went to a good home.
