Card Collecting 7: Incoming

So I received some more blogger give-away cards. 

From Brian at Highly Subjective and Completely Arbitrary:

2019 Topps Opening Day - Mascots #M-9 Swinging Friar Front   1988 Topps #665 Stan Musial Front 

1988 Topps #664 Bob Gibson Front   1989 Topps #662 Lou Brock Front 

Second best mascot in MLB?  I can't think of a better one other than the Phanatic, but I don't do much road tripping.  TBC >  reprints all day. 

From Rod at Padrographs:

   1990 Upper Deck #156 Ken Griffey Jr. Front

1997 Ultra - Leather Shop #1 Ken Griffey Jr. Front   1989 Upper Deck #376 Kirby Puckett Front


1991 Fleer - Pro-Visions #1 Kirby Puckett Front   1992 Donruss #617 Kirby Puckett Front 


1987 Fleer Game Winners #40 Mike Schmidt Front   1987 Fleer Game Winners #37 Cal Ripken Jr. Front 

1996 Fleer - Road Warriors #5 Mike Piazza Front   1997 Leaf #185 Nomar Garciaparra Front 

I like that Leather Shop Griffey with its focus on stellar defense.  Mark McGwire guest appearance on the Upper Deck Puckett.  Schmidt's my favorite player ever. 

1994 Ted Williams #98 Alma Ziegler Front   1995 Ultra #378 Randy Jordan Front

Both of these are autographed, but I don't get along with technology.  Ziegler was like the real deal of the League of Their Own players.  Jordan scored the first Jacksonville Jaguars touchdown.

He sent me some other cards too: a June Jones XFL card that's SN99, a Jackie Robinson card featuring his Hall of Fame induction, some more Griffeys and Ryans and another Puckett.   So yeah - I should probably send him some Padres cards when I get a decent stack.
