More Baseball Cards Here! said...

I have been reading this blog for the past half hour - it's hilarious! And I dont even follow baseball that closely! I love your comments about the pictures and the in depth stories behind the weird uniforms or unsightly haircuts.

Keep up the good work.

LOL awesome card. i absolutely loved the proliferation of mullets during the late 80's/early 90's. daulton wasn't even the worst on his team. look at lenny dykstra, or krukky.

Wow, that is funny stuff lol. I never noticed that about that card but the 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson had the Marlboro sign taken off in corrected version, which was an error that I did not hear about when I was a kid, though the 1989 Billy Ripken was well known back then. Maybe expanding on this would provide some trivial entertainment.
