@theitalian556 At least hes collecting when the hobby today is made up of people who are soley in it for the investments/money. Kids should collect whoever they want and just have fun with it. Thats what baseball cards needs to be again - now it seems only grown men are the ones who really collect. I remember going to card shows as a kid and seeing lots of kids there. now youll only see adults are card shows.
Insane how Frank Thomas (who I believe played the game right) with over 500 homers is listed as a common player from his second year on. That man and his cards were unstoppable in the 90's. Defintely a first time ballot hall of famer though.
I had in excess of 100,000 cards at one point but sold many in 1990. This was a good move because card prices plummeted shortly after. My cards were mainly '85-'88. I sought out these rookies at the time: Puckett, Gooden, Saberhagen, Fielder, McGwire. Will Clark, etc. I found a system with tops wax and rack packs where there was a pattern whereby the same cards were grouped together so if I saw a certain guy on top, there was a 90% chance Gooden was inside. pretty funny.
Dude, I have spent 30 years searching for a Thurman Munson Plane crash card and several years looking for a Pete Rose in Prison card. Can anyone help me find those? Your best cards are the Seaver and Randy Johnson, my man. The Munson's are cool too. I would torch the Girardi but Bernie I will always love because he made a nice play in Jim Abbott's no hitter. I bought 100 1989 topps Abbott rookies and 100 Alomar rookies but have no Alomar spitter cards. I'm searching for those but cannot find.
Not to be mean but thats a 2nd year Frank Thomas. But still really nice cards
