Prize Options:

Anyway, pick 2 options, or the same option twice.  And maybe a third option just in case that is clearly marked as third.

Cool Cards / Stanky Team

I got this topic from Not Another Baseball Card Blog who got it from Shlabotnik Report.

Anyway, let's gaze at some Cowboys cards that are in my collection.

-  That's a '69 Renfro.  Hall of Famer, 10 Pro Bowls, etc. 

-  Hayes won 2 Gold Medals at the 1964 Summer Olympics and then had a Hall of Fame career in football.  

-  Staubach served in the U.S. Navy and was stationed in South Vietnam during the war.

-  White saving his team a roster spot.  

-  I do like the art cards.

-  Haley with an illegal hand to the face. 

-  Emmitt praying he gets traded to the Eagles.  (The highlight was breaking the all-time rushing TD record.)

-  Witten and Lamb:  good players who don't bother me other than them being Cowboys. 

-  Bland is from Modesto and attended the first high school I attended.  A couple years after me.

Quick Poll

Was the last year of the junk era for baseball cards 1994 or 1995?
