Insomnia special!
Joe Carter - Hard for me to complain about seeing a Joe Carter card as I open the pack.
Alex Rodriguez - I'm somewhat surprised to see him in the set as a Mariner. But a quick search of their checklist here is a second card in here where he's a Yankee. He does seem like a strange choice for having 2 cards in the set.
Tim Lincecum
Rick Dempsey
Mark Grace
Pete Rose
John Franco - Another pull I'm happy to make. I don't know if there are a lot of really great choices for retired Mets and Jays in this set, or it just seems that way. I mean, Cleon Jones? Lee Mazzilli? What's there not to love?
Joe Charboneau - An odd choice from a player to use a B&W photo of.
Denny McLain
Gorman Thomas - Another "Wow. He's in this set" card.
Lance Parrish
Bob Brenly - And another managerial card in the base set.
Jesse Barfield - That is so NOT a photoshopped Jays uniform.
George Brett
Garry Templeton - Still yet another "Wow. He's in this set" card.
Dave Stieb - Lot's of Blue Jays love in this pack.
Lance Parrish Auto 1/25 - And here's my second auto. It's a nice one, and Lance isn't afraid to use all the space available for his auto. The /25 is nice to see on this gold parallel, but I find the Tina Turner story more interesting.
That said, this card is up for trade is someone out there has a Mets/Jays auto from this set, or something similar, such as Archines or Fan Favorites.
Jean Segura - State Parallel
David Freese - Defining Moments - Freese Fame? *groan*
Miguel Cabrera
Garrett Jones
Yovani Gallardo
Davey Lopes - Now there's a mustache you can set your watch to. TM (paraphrased): Abe Simspon
Jake Peavy
Best pack so far? Probably. Lots of cards from my favourite teams and a really great autograph. Only negative is the horrible pun on the Freese.
Loving these posts!
ReplyDeleteReally strange the double card for Alex Rodriguez. Is there some obscure intention we don't know?
