I'm planning on holding onto the Gwynn.<br /><br />There were a few other oversized cards from mid 80's Donruss... but they weren't in very good condition. There were also a few KC Royals team issue cards that were autographed, but they were beaten up too.<br /><br />I went back yesterday to look for the ad to take a screen shot, but the guy had taken it down.<br /><br />Baseball Nut - Yeah... sometimes it's good to go back to the good old days of busting packs and looking for funny looking photos and players from our favorite teams.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-32663550958584536412011-08-21T11:59:53.367-07:002011-08-21T11:59:53.367-07:00Nothing wrong with that at all. I find it odd no...Nothing wrong with that at all. I find it odd now that we talk about 'gimmicks" and "junk wax" Where did the 'FUN" in collecting go? The fact that you really should be opening new packs of cards with white gloves and immediately putting them in penny sleeves is sad. They are 2.5 X 3.5 pieces of cardboard. They should be enjoyed, sorted and dare I say, played with for enjoyment. Doesn't seem to be much middle ground anymore between the negative connotation of the "lowly comoon card" and "chaffing the wheat" frenzy to get to the hits, only to complain about them. It's a shame that some collectors today will never experience the kind of fun you had. I would have been right there on the floor of your office with you because it would have been fun just to explore and sort.Baseball Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171961881305647298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-38863750589878730702011-08-21T11:23:02.261-07:002011-08-21T11:23:02.261-07:00I must have missed that ad.

Wow, that is pure insanity!<br /><br />If you decide you aren't keeping the '94 Fleer baseball set, I'd like to work a trade for that or buy it from you, and the same goes for any other oddballs like the Gwynn (you said you're keeping that but if there's anything like it).<br /><br />I have to agree, the fun of just sorting through cards is priceless, regardless of how much the cards are "worth" in the book. It's always been why I enjoy opening packs and boxes.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-53373242814746350062011-08-21T11:18:33.029-07:002011-08-21T11:18:33.029-07:00night owl - my original title for this post was sl...night owl - my original title for this post was sloppy seconds... but i didn't want to offend anyone. i'm thinking that the guy who gave these away picked up a huge lot of cards, yanked out all of the good stuff and dumped the rest off to me. there were a bunch of 84 donruss, but not mattinglys or strawberrys... although there was a nice dwayne murphy diamond card i'm keeping.<br /><br />section 36 & play at the plate - it was a blast... one of the things that attracted me to this hobby is the sorting.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-43167648410575392282011-08-21T10:14:26.673-07:002011-08-21T10:14:26.673-07:00Sounds like a fun way to spend a few hours.Sounds like a fun way to spend a few hours.Play at the Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231140141558021698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-55637473281492403052011-08-21T10:02:23.341-07:002011-08-21T10:02:23.341-07:00Sounds like a great time!Sounds like a great time!Section 36https://www.blogger.com/profile/18194098940017348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-89398716374582275332011-08-21T09:53:45.587-07:002011-08-21T09:53:45.587-07:00'84 Donruss!
