Not a spectacular pack, but I might be inspired to try collecting the rest of this. I might have a third or so of the set, so who knows. I'm glad I hung onto all of my old checklists from when I was little (more on this on Thorzul Will Rule) so I don't have to re-catalogue everything. This pack had only three doubles, which is a plus. Thanks dayf!
Weird White Sox connection with the managers card. LaRussa was manager of the White Sox when Leyland was third base coach. Everyone's taunting me tonight.
ReplyDeleteLOL
I knew Jason Bates. Mostly I knew he's never make it in the major leagues. He liked having alot of fun away from the park. Looked foward to the after game parties f you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThe Nied for Speed! Boy, was he ever hyped-up. I loved how many of the Rockies/Marlins cards were apparently shot in some desert setting. I recall being perplexed by something in the background of Rudy Seanez's card.
ReplyDeleteThorzul, let me know if you need any 1993 Topps. I have a bunch to offer:

I like the Larussa/Leyland card. Tony looks like he's on an undercover operation
ReplyDelete1993 Topps is probably my favorite baseball set of all-time [also in the running is 1999 Topps]. The packs were cheap, you got a bunch of cards of people who played maybe 10 games in their careers, and you were guaranteed a gold card in every pack. Pure. Genius.
ReplyDeletejust jumpin' in for a non card clarification re. suppan. it's not polictics with him. it's his genuine faith based belief.
ReplyDeleteAs far as cards, I lost all my cool cards from the 60's when my mom threw them out by accident. Dang, might have been millionare.
jumpin back out.
carry on with the card talk.
