2018 keeps moving along with me running behind, grabbing at coattails. Why has this year been so hard on me? You stink '18! Back in March, I received a nice package of cardboard from the
cardboard jones-ing man himself, Steve Cornell. Steve is quite active in Twitterland and can also be found on
blogging on Wordpress.
There were too many cards for scanning. Selecting a few to share wasn't an easy task. I prefer easy. Not to say I'm lazy but the least I can do...usually means just that. Catchers dominated the package, adding some unique pieces to my collection.
The handsome and smiling face of Javy Lopez can be seen on these SGAs and BBC Magazine cards. Perfect for my Lopez collection! Lykes was the stadium hot dog supplier; Bryan another meat-maker.
I was big on Flair when it entered the market in 1993. It's still my favorite Flair issue. The rolling waves behind the rookie prospects were beautiful. 1994 wasn't the ocean but a watercolor tie-dyed background which worked for me...and it's always about me. If you forget, I'll remind you.

| UPDATE THROWBACKS - the hideous design of 2015 steals nothing of the glory these cards possess! |

2017 TOPPS MANURELIC Heavy Duty Metal #/99
I like this, especially when gifted! |
 |
| A pocketful of Poseys! |
 |
but not just any Posey - a SSP New Era Cap card!

| 2015 - Buster's a hitter! |
He entered the HOF a Met but Mike will always be a Dodger to me. He was one of my firsts the year I began collecting. We were both Rookies in 1993.

I've grown fond of Panini. They are logo-deprived through no mistake of their own. Unless you can say not outbidding Topps [aka paying off MLB] for rights, their fault. Golden Age is one of the best products Panini has given us. Behold the bread winner below:

Bread is a breakfast staple but so are cereals. Kelloggs gave us some lenticular goodness throughout the 70s and early 80s. Breakfast hasn't been the same without them.

The tragic life of Ken Caminiti...his last days were sad ones. This is the first relic for my Cam PC! This card is greatly appreciated! I've also tried a few times, to pick up an auto but am always outbid.
Steve, thank you for this package of odd and sensational cards!
I've got a trade package "thank you" post coming up on my blog soon that dates back to last December... It sure is easy to fall behind!
ReplyDeleteyou made me feel better! thanks Nacho Man!
DeleteYes, Piazza is definitely a Dodger, and those 2015 Tigers cards are good as GOLD!
ReplyDeletethrowbacks are always a winner!
DeleteHi Julie!
ReplyDeleteKrukberry!!!
DeleteLove that Caminiti bat card! I'd love to one day own a memorabilia card of him from his Padres days.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised you don't already have one, Fuji! I'm thrilled to have this one!
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen one. One day though. One day.
DeleteLots of great odds and ends here. I like that Posey New Era card; never seen one where he's playing first base before.
ReplyDeleteYou're a fan of 1993 Flair, too? I love that set. '94 is very nice though. I hadn't seen any Today's Spotlight cards before the Javy Lopez depicted in this post.
Hey Chris! I think we'll see Posey on first more often. and Flair - yes. One of my all-time favorite products. 93 was very hot upon release. Back when cards were sold at Sam's Club, I must've bought a case-worth of boxes. The only thing I did not care for was the over packaging. Often times, the hobby doesn't mix well with my eco-friendly ways.
