Hey,
Over the years I have picked up hundreds of lineup cards. I've been fortunate to be able to pick up a few collections that came from managers or umpires, and when picking up 100+ at a time, it's not always obvious which ones are important.
Looking through some lineup cards tonight I noticed that the dates on a few Phillies lineup cards from 1993 were from October. Checking closer I found that they were Playoff lineup cards, mostly from the Braves-Phillies series. Now playoff lineup cards are pretty cool, but when they are from a series between 2 teams that did not win the World Series, they are a little less interesting.
Looking further though, I noticed one with some AL players. Checking the date I was able to confirm that it was from Game 2 of the 1993 World Series between the Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays were legit stacked with Rickey Henderson, Paul Molitor, Joe Carter, John Olerud, Roberto Alomar etc!
Thought it was a pretty cool find!
