I received a surprise envelope earlier this week from Kin of I Feel Like a Collector Again, and from the well-known Twitter handle @beansbcardblog.
I actually have a few Russ Davis cards to send his way, but he struck first and sent me this beauty that I didn't have.
That, my friends, is a '96 Studio Gold parallel. Kin told me that card had resided in Texas for the last 20 years or so, and I'm glad it has finally made it's way up to New Jersey as the newest card in my Tino collection.
This card brings me to 820 different Tinos, and 63 from 1996.
Thanks so much, Kin. Please give him a follow on Twitter and check out his blog.
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.
That Kin is one of the most generous fellows on the blogosphere/Twitter-verse. Tino looks pretty good in gold!
ReplyDeleteDamn, you either have some awesome scanning skills or an awesome scanner! That card is beautiful. Glad you like it and that it's to a loving home.
ReplyDeleteI agree. What kind of scanner do you use. Wow!!!
DeleteYou guys are funny. I've never owned a scanner. I just use the free CamScanner app on my phone.
DeleteI'm looking into that. I wasn't trying to be funny.
DeleteOh I know! I just thought It was funny because my scanner is literally my iPhone.
DeleteNever really liked the early Studio products, but the 1996 design was solid. Sweet card!
