A pair of holograms on a fine Sunday

I’ve said it before, but I’ve always been a huge fan of hologram cards. I wish they caught on more, but they ended up being a very early ‘90s fad. I recently picked up a lot of two on eBay, but from Upper Deck. Both are Hall of Famers. One is Hank Aaron, one is Ted Williams. Pretty Sweet. Unfortunately they are impossible to scan, but they look pretty sweet in person. I promise.

TTM Success: Doc Brown...Bobby Brown, that is

I got a cool TTM success from Dr. Bobby Brown, former Yankee and AL President. I sent two of the same cards from this Ted Williams set and asked him to keep one (I put a post-it note on the card with the request). He ended up signing both. I now have two of the same card signed, which is ok, but I really did wish he had kept one.

I looked at a lot of his cards online, but decided on this Ted Williams issue to send because I liked it so much. It's got a great classic pose and I like how prominent the Yankee logo looks. I ordered two of the same card from the same seller on SportLots. I might look for an early '50s Bowman to send to Brown, but in the meantime, I really like this success. His signature is very neat, especially for a man his age.
