Well I now know exactly what he means. Earlier this month, I got my first tattoo. After that... I just had to have more, so I headed over to eBay and picked up a box of 1986 Topps Baseball Tattoos:
The box contained 36 wax packs. Each pack contained one sheet of very colorful tattoos:
And although they advertise that each sheet has 18 tattoos... there's actually only 16: 8 players and 8 action shots.
Collation was pretty good. I came up one sheet short of a complete set of 24 sheets.
Here are a few of my favorites:
I'm not quite sure which arm I'm going to put these bad boys on, but I'm certain that beautiful Rose is going to be planted on my lower back.
Happy Hump Day and sayonara!
I wonder how rare these are at this point considering how many wound up on various limbs that eventually were washed away.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Topps printed a bunch... enough to satisfy collectors for the next three to five generations. Actually... the gum damaged a few of the stamps and my guess is it'll only get worse down the road.
Deletepretty awesome for halloween, get baseball inked up
ReplyDeleteI should have passed them out to kids last night. Talk about confusing today's youth.
DeleteRicky loves Ricky as a tattoo.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah!
DeleteCarney Lansford's just happy to be here...
ReplyDeleteLol. I thought they did a pretty good job with Lansford... capturing the 'stache and all.
DeleteI've gotten some of those in trade packages and didn't know where they came from...so thanks! And good luck with that Rose.
ReplyDeletelol... I'm saving him for a special occasion.
DeleteI vote for the Pucket tatoo. He's blinking at you!

DeleteYou should get a real tattoo that looks just like one of these.
