I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. I spent my four day weekend eating, shopping, and watching the new Thor movie. It was a lot better than the second. I like the added humor in this one. I received a couple of trades in over the weekend. The first from TCDB member pezNpirates added some first and last cards to my collection.
The package included two former Cardinals first basemen. I was never a fan of the 2008 Topps Moments & Milestones set. I am sure it was a player collector's nightmare. The Big Cat's time in St. Louis was just the injury filled season of 1992. From there he went onto better things in Colorado. He has a few baseCardinals cards like this 1992 Topps Traded, and even some autos in a Cardinals uniform.
These 2 cards were the last ones I needed to complete a couple of team sets. The Medwick is from 1989 Pacific Legends, the Guerrero from 1989 Score Baseball's Hottest 100 Players.
I have no way to tie in this Molina card into the first and last theme other than he plays a handful of games at first base each year. I guess it is also my first bat card of him.
