Interesting! It says "random assortment in each case" but it doesn't state if the odds are identical for each player. What if there's 6 Bronson Arroyo for every 1 Johnny Bench?

and speaking of Bourbon, where on earth is Bret Boone?

Maybe Bret is still recovering from the beef jerky commercial where he admits he doesn't care about winning then goes to a fancy restaurant to setup a threesome only to buy them beef jerky.

what a bunch of no body's

 

[banjar]

I dunno. Gimmicky as hell. But also kinda fun. If they ever put Alomar - or Dave Parker - in the mix, I'd probably pick one up.

Their current list of players is pretty random, but not really a list of nobodies. Er, I mean "no body's". Sure, there's Arroyo, Gaedel, and Venditte, but so far they've also included:
Anson
Bench
Clark
Feller
Jackson
John
Jones
Musial
Paige
Simmons

The other thing to consider... what value would you put on the alcohol alone? I guess its closer related to coin collecting than cards as there's a secondary utility to it.

I wonder what % of those names could sell higher than the price tag, Will Clark has the craziest fan base and old timers like Musial, Bench, Paige, Jackson should also flip higher.
