It was a pretty quiet weekend around my house. Other than a Saturday morning basketball game, and my son's first baseball practice of the season I had plenty of spare time. The weather was not fit for doing much outside, so I spent a few hours filing away all my recent trades. The mailman brought 2 pwes on Saturday that added to my pile of cards. The first was from TCDB member @SWLVguy.
I thought these 2 finished my 1998 Opening Day set, but I still need a Ron Gant to finish it. The Jordan card is pretty cool. Though it is not as iconic as the 1990 Score Bo Jackson, it is a great photo of the former 2 sport star.
I was able to finish the 2003 Playoff Prestige set with the Haren card. I was suppose to get the regular version of the Hutchinson 2000 Metal card that would have finished my set. Instead I received the Emerald version that I already have. This one will be going in Kerry's pile.
The second trade package came from TCDB member redlegs_baseball.
The Star company put out a few minor league sets in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I can see why the company did not last long. These cards are about as boring as you can get, but I will never turn down a Cardinals minor league card.
This does not look like a baseball card at all. It reminds me of something from a MAD set. It is really a 1992 Confex Baseball Enquirer card of Andres Galarraga. If you blinked you would have missed his time as a Cardinal. He only played in 95 games during his only season in St. Louis in 1992. I have no clue why he is wearing a hard hat.
I never played the Topps Attax card game. Cannot say I know anybody that did. I would imagine Pujols would have been a great guy to have judging by his ratings on the card.
