Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Here's a card from one of the best sets of all time, IMHO, 1993 Upper Deck. The "Future Heroes" insert: It's a cool card. I like the design. As a bonus, the front photo has an A's logo in the background, while the back talks about Robbie's HR in the 1992 ALCS against Eckersley. Sorry... -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
And now, in lieu of any smashing new pickups, here's something from the wayback machine. 1990 Topps TV All Stars! For some reason this has always been one of my favorites. A one-off Topps oddball issue that was only released in complete sets, packaged in a little box like a deck of playing... -

OMG! No wait, OMFG! That's a great story. Maybe not every human being sucks as much as I think they do :-) -
Player Collectors 1500+ Club
TCDB has Webb at 2499 unique cards, and I'd guess that's pretty close to the real total. So 1500 might be doable? Depends on how much spare time and spare money you've got. Which, incidentally, explains why I'm still only at 61% of Alomar cards (4872 unique, against 7978 unique listed on TCDB). -

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
This just in. An autographed jersey card SN15 from 2005. It's an alright card, but I just can't get into the 2005 Absolute set. No sir, I didn't like it. -

Old guy coming back......
Your return to the hobby sounds a lot like mine. I was away from 1996-2014, and when I realized what had happened in the meantime it was truly a shock. FWIW, I'd say focus on the playing career and only pick up post-career cards if they really strike a chord with you. Otherwise you'll go...- banjar

MrMopar's New Dodgers Autograph Thread (and other interesting items on a slow mailday)
Yeah, John is borderline HOF. When I first wrote that post I said he was definitely a HOF'er, but deleted that later. The Tommy John kool aid was tasting pretty good. I do think he merits some more consideration though. He's eerily similar to Don Sutton, who of course has his detractors but is... -
MrMopar's New Dodgers Autograph Thread (and other interesting items on a slow mailday)
So after my flippant comment above, I got to thinking a bit about Tommy John himself...it often gets lost that he was a hell of a pitcher. - In 17 of his 26 seasons (26!!!) he won 10+ games. - He won 288 games in his career. And if he didn't have to undergo the first Tommy John surgery, in the... -

Now you just need to blow out your UCL and get a certain surgery! -

Speaking of getting behind things - or not - here's this. William Shatner meets Henry Rollins. And it's fantastic.
