Cheap Cool Cards #25: 1994 Stadium Club #80 Paul Konerko XRC


300 MLB players have hit 200 or more home runs.

133 have hit 300 or more.

Last night, Paul Konerko became the 48th player in MLB history to hit 400 home runs in their career.

Only 25 have reached the 500 mark. Which brings up the question...

Do you think Konerko will reach 500 by the time he retires?

If he doesn't get injured and has the desire to play, than I think he has a shot. Although, I wouldn't necessarily bank on it.

One thing is certain... I'm glad I picked this 1994 Stadium Club XRC of Mr. Konerko. It's not worth much to most collectors... but I'll pay 25¢ for the rookie card of a 400 Home Run Club Member any day of the week.

Kudos to Kaptain Konerko! Happy Thursday... and sayonara!

This was a really cool set as I remember. Had some good early cards in it.

Excellent pick up!
I sure hope he hits 500. A lot of that will depend on whether or not a team has enough faith in him later on in his career.
Faith and Desire = Playing Time.

Yeah, I paid top dollar for a 1st Day Issue of Nomar back in the day. Too bad it isn't even his rookie card.

Yeah... facial hair and 16 years can do wonders for a face.

Me too... the way he's playing right now, he has at least two solid seasons left. Everything after that is left to be seen.
