2020 Adventures in Repacks: Part 3.2 - Baseball Begins

2012 A&G - Wade Davis - Ginter is a nice way to start a 40 card stack.

1989 Topps - Greg Booker
1989 Fleer - Jay Buhner

1990 Donruss - Clay Parker
1989 Topps - Oakland Leaders

1988 Topps - Reid Nichols - Expos content!
1989 Donruss - Greg Harris
1995 Stad. Club - Billy Ashley

2002 UD - Bobby Smith - After getting a Skeeter and a Blankenship in the first part, here's one of the more generic names imaginable.

2001 Topps - Brant Brown - Brant didn't warrant the then-costly card stickiness-prevention coating.
1991 Topps - Paul Moliton
1992 Donruss - Tim Teufel
1993 Pinnacle - David Cone

1991 Score - Steve Frey - Expos content #2!

2012 Elite - Ronnie Freeman - And that's it.

That was definitely a step down from the first part, but with that having a food issue card and some fun names, it would have been a tough fight anyhow.

2019 Adventures in Repacks: Part 28.2 - A Baseball Weekend

The second half!

2015 Diamond Kings - Jim Gilliam - I'm perfectly fine with missing logos if it means more obscure players like Jim Gilliam get cards.
1993 Donruss - Craig Grebeck
1991 UD - Ken Dayley

1997 Pinnacle Xpress - Jay Buhner - This repack's entry into "card from set I'd never heard of".

1989 Fleer - Manny Lee - Jays card #1.
1986 Topps - Jay Johnstone

1990 Topps - Bobby Valentine
1990 UD - Bruce Ruffin
1995 Stad. Club - Mike MacFarlane

1991 Bowman - Gary Scott
1989 Topps - Charlie O'Brien
1989 Topps - Tony Armas

1994 UD Minor League - Matt Brunson - Minor League card #4, even if it isn't as obscure a release as the first three.
1992 Donruss - Gary Gaetti
1991 Fleer - Wilie McGee
1987 Topps - Jody Davis

2019 Topps - Richard Urena - The most recent card in the repack, and it is a Jays card, and one I don't have.

2018 Heritage - Joey Gallo - And this also ends on a Heritage card.

2019 Adventures in Repacks: Part 28.1 - A Baseball Weekend

I'm not at my creative best this weekend. So, I'll just show off the goods from a second hanger that was just waiting for an excuse to post. As usual, 40 cards today, 40 tomorrow.

2012 Cooperstown - Hank Greenberg - Can't pass on a visible Cooperstown card of a HOFer!

1990 UD - Steve Balboni

1987 Topps - Rick Anderson - Met #1.
1992 Donruss - Rex Hudler

1988 Topps - Andy McGaffigan - Expo #1, and likely the best facial hair in the repack.
1988 Fleer - Glenn Braggs
1994 Topps - Jim Leyritz

1986 TCMA - Dave Schuler - Random minor league card! Gotta show this one off!

1994 Pinnacle - Mike Lansing - Expo #2. Nice horizontal photo as well.
1988 Topps - Joel Skinner
1993 Fleer - Ellis Burks

1990 Topps - George Bell - Jays card #1.
1995 Stad. Club - Matt Smith

1997 EX 2000 - Gregg Jefferies - I was not expecting a partially acetate card in this.
2002 Topps - Bobby Jones
2001 Topps - Woody Williams
1992 Leaf - Russ Swan

1992 Topps - Spike Owen - Expo #3 on an always amusing card to come across.
1988 Score - Bill Pecota
1990 Topps - Bill Kreuger

1994 Score - Jeromy Burnitz - Met #2, and an early card of a decent enough player as well.
1987 Fleer Update - Mike Jackson

1989 Topps - Glenn Braggs - Glenn's second appearance. Might as well scan one of 'em.
1989 Topps - Charles Hudson
2013 Topps - Chris Capuano
2013 Topps - Todd Frazier
1999 Topps - Richard Hidalgo
1992 Score - Rich DeLucia

1989 Fleer - Joel Skinner - Joel's second appearance. Might as well scan one of 'em.
1989 Fleer - Danny Tartabull

1993 Pinnacle - Larry Walker - Looks like the Expos will win my team collection battle with a 4th appearance.

1992 UD - Scott Ruskin - And here's #5.
1989 Topps - Gene Larkin

1998 Coll. Choice - Darren Bragg - Cool 'moment of impact' photo.

1987 Topps - Mike Brown

1982 TCMA - Mike Morse - Another random minor league card!
2017 Bowman Draft - Kolby Allard

2018 Heritage - Tyler Chatwood - A perfectly fine way to end - Heritage.

Wow. With the minor league cards, the Expos content and the Greenberg, that was one of the more interesting halves of these I'd busted in a bit. The second half tomorrow probably won't live up to this, but I'll show them off then.

A perfect day for Expos cards

I was lamenting to myself that I really didn't have any 'scary' cards for a 10/31 post. And then the World Series happened. And that allowed me to head through my COMC to-be-posted box in search of Expos cards to post.

And all was well.

Does a Montreal based World's Fair card count? The World's Fair is an Expo. so obviously that's a yes! The Biosphere is now an iconic part of  Île Sainte-Hélène/Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal.

Gotta include a new Vladdy!

Two legendary Expos! One card! Perfection!

El Presidente - El Perfecto. That's probably the greatest moment in the lineage of the Franchise until about 8 hours ago as I type this up. And since this is a card from Topps Kids, scanning the back is mandatory.

And for those who still desire a little baseball action, enjoy Vin Scully audio from the perfecto.

I'll open the mailbag again tomorrow.

2019 Adventures in Repacks: Part 27.4 - A Week's Worth

Today and tomorrow see a switch to baseball.

2011 Heritage Minors - Andrew Brackman - What's an easy way to get me to pick a certain repack? A visible Heritage Minors card will do the trick.

1988 Topps - Chris Bosio

1989 Fleer - Tom Candiotti

1988 Donruss - Mike Griffin

1990 Donruss - Dave LaPoint

1997 UD - Charlie O'Brien - The UD base card saluting the debut of the goalie style mask remains one of my favourite Jays base cards.

1992 Topps Gold - Eddie Taubensee - You generally don't see parallels in these.

1991 Topps - Kevin Elster - Another Met.

1990 UD - Floyd Bannister

1999 Ultra - Mike Lansing - Pretty cool photo, even if I don't think he would have turned two on the play.

2001 Rookies & Stars - Tim Hudson

2006 UD Special F/X - Jason Bergmann - Two parallels in the same portion of a repack! Is this wizardry?

2008 A&G - Javier Vasquez

1981 Donruss - Joe Torre - Mets card #3!

1989 All Star Glossy - Frank Viola

1989 Topps - George Bell - And the second Jays one.

1990 Donruss - Mike Harkey

1999 Stad. Club - Craig Biggio - And the second really great photo from the first half. I love how the shadow of the ball is visible just beyond the glove.

1988 Score - Jose Lind

1990 Donruss - Rob Dibble

1991 UD - Chuck Crim

1998 Score Rookie Traded - Delino DeShields - I'd completely forgotten his time with the Cardinals. I also didn't know until I looked at his wiki page that he has a daughter in the WNBA.

1993 Topps - Bill SWift

1991 Fleer - Eric King

1991 UD - Kenny Williams - Jays card #3.

1992 UD - Jeff Montgomery

1991 Donruss - Bob Boone

2012 Topps Texas Rangers - Mitch Moreland - And finished, oddly enough with a team set card.
