To put it nicely, this season has been miserable in Toronto. Now, I think people are just hoping for the fire sale not to end up too badly. But at least I can be reminded of better days through cardboard.
I legitimately thought that the use of Rickey Henderson as opposed to Roberto Alomar on the image signified that this was from the point in time after Alomar received his ban from baseball for general creepiness. Nope! That was 2021, but this card was from the previous year. It's like Topps knew something was about to go down.
But he did show up in late 2020 releases like Stadium Club and Archives. So, maybe not.
One pleasant reminder of '93 deserves a second!
I guess the builder of those teams also counts as a pleasant memory, here in super shiny form. I can imagine some collector seeing the shininess when going through the pack and then getting disappointed when it is a card of a GM. Their disappointment is my acquisition!
Maldonado was only around for the first of those teams. But he still counts for a pleasant trip back to those years.
The bat flip was definitely away to express oneself.
If you want a card to remember Zack Collins' part-time season in Toronto, this card, and its associated parallels, are your only opportunity which to so. Even if you need a White Sox swatch to accompany it.
As for Wynton Bernard, there's no time in Toronto to commemorate, as he never made the big league team. He got his 15 minutes of fame after reaching the majors with the Rockies after a ten year journey through the minor leagues. He'd get cards with the Rockies, including autos, and also some update cards with the Jays. This, is so much more interesting to me, especially with an on-card autograph for a zero game player.
