Scoring from My Dealer

 

I bought a binder of junk era cards at a yard sale.  Well, more like a driveway sale, but anyway...  Let's look at some highlights.  

-  The McGriff looks photoshopped.

-  Sandberg during his infamous hatless protest, after being traded from the Phillies to a lesser team.

-  Albert Belle's brother Joey when they played together for Cleveland.  

-  Mattingly still looking up for the ball when it's right in front of him.

-  Bagwell about to let a grounder through the wickets.   

-  Brett scared to face Carlton in the 1980 World Series.

-  Schmidt going yard at Wrigley.

-  Biggio RC

-  McGee RC.  The only non-junk era card in the whole binder.  

-  Rison before Lisa Lopes burned his house down.

-  Walker's been nominated for U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas. 

 

-  Ambassador of Sport, Charles Barkley.

-  That's a telephone.  

-  Alex English on the Robinson card.

-  Kemp RC.  

-  David Robinson on the Olajuwon card.

-  Michael Cage on the Karl Malone card.

-  Celtics getting their butts kicked by Baylor and the Lakers.

-  Celtics getting their butts kicked by Frazier and the Knicks.  

-  Hull when he sees that I've posted a Verlander card.

Anyway, if you want the two SI Kids cards and have a U.S. address, comment below.  First person gets them.
