One of my favorite players of all time is Don Mattingly. If he played a couple of more seasons, he probably would have been the star of my collection. Instead, most of my childhood coincided with Tino Martinez at 1B for the Yankees, and he obviously become the focus of my collection.
Still, I love Mattingly cards. During all of the reorganizing I've been doing, I keep stumbling across cards I haven't looked at in a while.
Even better, I notice new things on these cards all the time.
This 1990 Broder Living Legdn stuck out to me. Do you see why?
It says Dan Mattingly!
The error is repeated on the back too.
Very funny! I had never noticed it until earlier today. I will say, Donnie Baseball has a nicer ring to it thank Danny Baseball, does it not?
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.
To be fair, the name Dan suits that 80's porno stache better.
ReplyDeleteerrors are best when not intentional. old school boo boos are great. just too many of them.
