I remember pulling the card with the dufex on the Ozzie side, and I almost exploded! So glad I pulled it and I didn't have to look for it to buy it!

Ozzie of the day...unscratched, undetatched 1988 Fantastic Sam's disc.

I have got to get a Sweet Spot auto sometime. They look so good!

Hey Greg,

How in the world did you end up collecting players from both the Cards and the Twins? The 87 World Series must have had you spinning.

I grew up in Southern Illinois, Cardinal fan all the way. My older brother moved to the Twins Cities in the late seventies, and I became a Twins fan through him. Fast-forward to the 80's, hometown hero Gary Gaetti plays for the Twins, and I went to school in Minnesota (St. Cloud.) 87 Series was tough, but I wore my Cardinal red proud! I couldn't lose either way!

One of my fave oddballs. Anyone have the Schnuks Milk Carton?

I couldn't lose either way!

So that explains it. I grew up in Iowa about 4 hours from Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee and 6 hours from St.Louis. My grandfather picked the Cardinals and the rest of the family followed suit. I thank God everyday he didn't pick the Cubs!

I hated everybody on that 1987 Twins team except... you guessed it, The Rat.

Anyone with doubles to sell or get rid of let me know. I have cut my Ozzie Collection to playing years only. To many variations and such to keep up with. I pick up a few of the nicer new cards that catch my eye. When I dont lose them to yous. Also started a collection of All-Star Ballots Ozzie is on. Thanks for the read,

Dan

Ozzie du jour. I think this is numbered to 15, but I forget the actual number.

 

[Mozzie22]

Dan- Do you have a checklist of Ozzie's you're looking for? I've got hundreds of doubles.

Kevin- That is a sweet card. They really run in streaks on EBay. A couple of years ago you could find them on EBay but I haven't seen one in awhile. I was going to pick one up and now I wish I would have.

Here is one of my favorite patches

 

[Mozzie22]

I knocked these two off my wantlist this week. 1987 Donruss Super DK and 1993 Pinnacle Cooperstown Dufex.

Heres a link to my Ozzie Collection: http://www.freewebs.com/ozziesmithfan/ozziesmithpc.htm
Any help would be awesome. More so on base an inserts. Rather that stuff than Autos and GU.

Thanks,

Dan
