My son recently threw a few bucks in my PayPal account, which I never use anymore. It was a really small amount, so I decided to throw those 'free dollars' away on some random Ebay stuff. Being only a couple of inches from being a dwarf myself (that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I have always been short), I decided to grab cards of some short NBAers!
Here is what I brought home...
Muggsy RC!! I think this is a card I would gladly take as many copies of as I could get. Such a cool player. And the other card is at least short (being a sticker). But it isn't what I purchased! I bought and paid for the Spud Webb from the same sticker set (1986/87 Canasta if you are interested). And yet Dr. J showed up. I guess I won't complain. But if you have any cool Spuds send them my way!
Ha. That's quite the accidental upgrade. But Doc doesn't fit your theme.
ReplyDeleteI remember Spud for winning the slam dunk contest as a Hawk, and late in his career, staying after Kings' practices to spend extra time on his free throw shooting.
I actually just traded for a Muggsy RC. Needed it for my 88-89 Fleer set build.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple Spuds I can send you, if you need his '92-93 Ultra & '93-94 Fleer base cards?
A few years ago, I built a "small" autograph collection of "short" athletes. At the time, I considered starting a Bogues PC. It never got off the ground though. I'll dig through my basketball and see if I have any extra Bogues or Spuds I can send your way.
ReplyDeleteI sort of collect both Bogues and Webb, but rarely add anything new to either collection.
ReplyDeleteI don't have that big of a basketball card collection yet (just starting back into collecting basketball cards), but I do have two collections within my collection. One is for players that stood 5'11" or shorter, and the other is for players who stood 7'0" or taller.
