Aloha, everybody,
As you may remember, I'm showing off some samples from the large box of cards that Bo sent over to me. We're down to the last couple of posts, so let's get started.
Here come some great Dodgers cards from the shiny and creative '90s and beyond. Leading off are a few Beltres...
Now some shiny (and new!) Nomos...
Tribute reprints that came off very nicely...
I wonder how many reprint versions of that Steve Garvey All-Stars card are out there? This is my third different one.
Let's get modern with some Diamond Kings...
These DKs work just as well on the backside. I like stats on the back as much as the next guy, but I'm also a big fan of the snippets I can read that give me context...
Takeshi Saito didn't get on a lot of cards back then, but boy, I'm glad he made it onto this cool blue Spectrum specimen...
I don't think there's another ex-Dodger who's cards make me feel sad, like Pedro's...
This Mondesi card has a nice textured surface to go along with the shiny stars...
I wonder if we'll ever get sparkly, glittery cards again...
Let's close with a couple of lights-out pitchers...
As always, THANKS for these cool cards, Bo!
Aloha!
Aloha, everybody,
Sorry I've been away for a few days too many. Just a few life things getting between me and my beloved blog. I'm happy to say I'm back now...so let's get back to checking out some more cards that came to me from that big feeder box I received from Bo.
Leading things off today are some cards inspired by the old "Play Ball" set. This Bobby Doerr is slightly smaller than the others. I'm guessing because it's being true to the size of the originals.
These cards are real beauties. I'm showing off a few that some of you out there might enjoy.
Here's a World Series card reprint...
Bo sent a bunch of the "Legends of New York" set...
He also included a bunch from these very attractive 2001 Upper Deck Pinstripe Exclusives inserts...
How about this fistful of cards from the 2002 UD World Series Heroes set...
Those will mix in well with the small handful that I already had. The set is 180 cards strong, so I'm not close to completing it, but I've got a great starter set now, thanks to Bo.
Here's what they look like individually. I dig the Americana design and World Series feeling...
A look at the backside...
Next time: Some Dodgers!
Aloha!
