I recently sent a few Griffey's to T.J. from
The Junior Junkie. He responded with a major Roid Rage Package for my
SCAM Project! When I say Roid Rage, I mean that the package was seriously pumped up! It was bursting at the seams like Arnold Schwarzenegger's arms! Seriously, there were probably 4 inches of cards stacked up, and all of them roiders. Thanks a ton T.J.!
Here are a few of my favorites from the package:
Very diverse! T.J. covered all 8 of the players in my project. I'll be updating the individual pages to reflect what I have in the next couple of days. I had not seen the Gold Leaf Stars set (Canseco) before, and the Record Setters set from 1987 really takes me back to my childhood.
There was also a bit of humor in the package, T.J. showed off his artistic side on these two Canseco's. The art is on the plastic, not the card, like a true collector.
Bad Jose!
He also must have perused my wantlists, because he threw in this auto of Jose Uribe, R.I.P.
No, I'm not a Uribe collector, but I do collect auto's of deceased players. Uribe not only died young, in a car crash at 47, but his wife died in childbirth at 27. Rough life.
Sorry to end the post on a low note, but it was a great package anyway. Thanks T.J., I will have more Griffeys eventually!
Glad you liked!
ReplyDeleteI bought a box of 1995 Leaf Series 2, possibly my all-time favorite set. My hope was to pull a Leaf Gold Stars Griffey, one of the only '95 Leaf Griffeys I need. The odds of pulling a Gold Stars was 1:72, so odds were against me even getting one, but amazingly I pulled one. Sadly, it was stupid Canseco. Blech. What a waste.
