2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 25.2 - Forgotten, not Gone

 And the other side!

With the Ozzie Smith insert opening things, this one is already has a good potential to be more interesting than the other half. It's been way too long, but I'll water that was the reason I picked this particular repack from the pegs. Also interesting - two '87 All-Star cards. That's Mark Gubicza that had his name cut off by my incompetent cropping.
Goudey Eddie Murray? There's a nice little surprise in here. Also, a colour matching border from 1990 Topps! I wish that had happened more often with the design. 
The prospects in '93 Bowman got somewhat shiny silver borders, but I don't think they were short-printed any more than the regular base cards. Or none of the players that received the silvery treatment were worthy of inflated prices nowadays. Given the era - probably the latter.
There have been two players named Jesus Sanchez to reach the majors. Both played for the Marlins. Sports can be odd like that. Yay to the minor league card, but boo to them hiding the Madison Muskies logo on the back. 
Enjoy it as it should be enjoyed.
And the finale. I like spotting photos that would be perfect for usage in modern Panini releases. Good work for Jonah Bayliss on his qualification. Aaron Harang was the last card, giving a flashback to some very unfortunate facial hair of the near past.

A perfectly fine repack - not sure why it took me years to get to it.

There you have it.
