Friggin' great game yesterday. Votto, Phillips, and Hanigan homered. Came back from a 3-0 deficit to snag a 7-4 win. Great weather. Nice fireworks show afterward. Gotta love it. And gotta love GABP...
1991 Fleer World Series #1. Bringing back memories of waving brooms around my living room as a kid. What a sweet series, sweeping the HEAVILY favored A's. There's Eric Davis tearing up the Oakland pitching staff. I need the rest of this set. Only got three of the 8. Next up...
Bunch of parallels. The Deion Gold Rush closes out that set. It's very rewarding to complete a parallel set. The David Gil is one of those thick-stock Bowman "Gold" cards. I've never seen one that isn't chipped like crazy around the edges. And I'm always happy to snag a Bowman International. Next...
A few veterans on modern cards. The Newcombe is lookin' pretty good, except for the gold stamped logo interfering with the photo. And of course we're all familiar with the career of Dick Hoblitzell. Right? Totally. Now my favorite card of the new additions...
What the shiitake is this? A card supply company trying to make a splash in the early 90's. Morris looks ready to take the court in the Southern Ohio Junior Varsity Tennis Invitational for Richtown Country Day Prep Academy. What's that? The blurb on the back mentions that Hal loves tennis? This is ACTUALLY a tennis card? Ugh. This has no appeal. But fortunately, according to the back, it's a limited edition of ONLY 100,000, which, in 1991, is uranium-level rare.
Well then.
I still have dozens more newbies, but mostly set-filler stuff. A lot of stuff like this...
Good adds, but no need poring over them all. 'Til tomorrow, GO REDS.
