These are pretty awesome as well. This one even has some pencil markings at the bottom "there is a camcorder on a tripod"

Nice Harper /5 - Really like how these cards look!6

Great looking card! I'm not sure if the jersey piece adds to the card or detracts from it but, either way, it's a great looking card.

I hear that the Kevin Smith relics weren't packed out, they were too fat to ship on planes.

At least they're matching the photo to the jersey swatch. We've asked for that repeatedly

Are you sure??? That pinstripe looks pretty green on a second look

Now that you mention it it kinda does but I'm on my phone and somewhat colorblind lol

At least they can't use that same old Mariners picture they've been using for years!

All griffeys white sox jersey cards are either plain white or green pin striped.

Green? Whys that? All-star game or something?

 

[michaelstepper]

Not really sure.. But all his with a pinstripe are green. Google images show a series of whitesox jerseys in all green patches/stripes

Wooden minis are found both in rip cards and loose as a mini in packs.

Do you know if this was done randomly, or if certain cards (e.g., 1-300) were loose and certain others were in rip cards?


With regards to the Griffey, it possibly comes from a White Sox St. Patrick's Day jersey that presumably would have been worn in ST:

White Sox do St. Patrick's in August, too.

September actually, 6 months = halfway to St. Patrick's Day.

 

[MansGame]

I think jamming this St. Patty day jersey into a card is pretty crappy IMO...

BUT if they would of had him pictured in it, etc. from that game... now that would have been one awesome card!

It's cool you can pinpoint a date of "use"

True.
