Bo Knows how to Knock Down a Perfect Game Checklist!

Aloha, everybody, 

Back in the dogdays of August, the most generous Bo, from Sportscards Brought to Life, sent a humongous box of cards to me.

I showed a bunch of them off in a couple of posts, and it's now time to feature another batch of cards that Bo included. These chipped off a big chunk from my want list of The Perfect Games Project


In a nutshell, I'm chasing the cards from each perfect game pitched. The spin I'm putting on my chase, is I'm collecting the battery mates, both pitcher and catcher, and the ultimate cards from each would be the cards from the year of their perfectos. 

Bo went to work, sorted through his cards, and pulled a whole lotta cards to help whittle down my checklist. 

We'll start off with the Angels (9/30/84)...



Bob Boone's is the ultimate card...


This 2002 Posada will fill in with my David Wells ultimate card 5/17/98...


(8/15/12)I already had Felix Hernandez's card, and this John Jaso completes the ultimate pair...


Ron Hasse's ultimate card pairs up with my El Presidente to complete the ultimate pair (7/28/91) This was Hasse's second perfecto! 


I really love the variety in the cards for the backstops. I've got them working with the leather and the wood. 

These next ones are ultimate pairs that Bo knocked out of the park for me...

7/18/1999 David Cone and Joe Girardi...



5/29/10 Roy Halladay and Carlos Ruiz...


5/29/10 Dallas Braden and Landon Powell...


Finally, 4/21/12  Phillip Humber and A.J. Pierzinski...


Thanks for the help with my project, Bo! Much appreciated, and rest assured, I'm working on your return package. 

Aloha!
