So Chris (The Collector) sent me a stack of cards: basketball, Phillies, and Eagles.
- Clyde the Glide
- An Italian David Robinson. Il Admirali.
- Dr. J's first pro team.
- The primary catcher on the Phillies' 1980 title team.
- A story about Mike Schmidt hitting a speaker and having to settle for a single.
- The starting first baseman on the Phillies' 2008 title team.
- One that got away. Or was sent away, because Buddy didn't have the patience for his shenanigans.
- Vick without the off-field stuff?
- My father went to Villanova. A few years before Westbrook did.

Old Virginia Squires card. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteABA cards used to be in the same packs as NBA cards. For a couple years at least.
DeleteI thought that Schmidt card would interest you, even though he's not pictured. Randall was the man - I loved watching him play. The Freudian slip at the beginning was something, but that escape and TD strike to Giles was something else!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a fun card.
DeleteCunningham had plenty of highlight plays. The punts were funny.
That was a pretty nice assortment, but of course I wouldn't expect to see anything less from Chris!
ReplyDeleteI loved watching highlights of Randall Cunningham. This post reminded me that I picked up a set featuring him a few months back. I'll have to write about it this weekend.
