Do I think they should be out there? No. Is that going to stop me from watching? Hell No! Even though I watched a ton of replays from the 2005 season, I still miss baseball and like I said, I really wanted to see this team play.
Speaking of the 2005 team, today's post features one of those players.
I picked up all these of Paulie at the baseballcardstore.ca (virtual dime box). As I stated before, in a previous post, with shipping it equaled out to $.20/each. I hate spending any money on those UD Documentary cards. I like the idea of the set, although it's a huge set, just not the fact that they reuse the same pics all the time. You see the 5 up there that are all the same. I'm pretty sure I already had a few of them and yes, with the same pic.
Dennis (Too Many Verlanders) sent me these 2 Paulie's, wait a minute. That's not a Konerko card. I got this and just assumed he through it in because Thome played for the Sox and he didn't catch it. Then I flipped it over to get the card number and it all made sense.
That's much better. I always like to see Paulie in pre-White Sox days. Although I prefer him in the Red uni's just because they are more rare but I don't mind him in the Dodger blue either. Especially since I know how his career turned out.
All of these Konerko cards put me at 491 unique cards so I'm going to have to go find a few more to hit that 500 mark. Although if you count dupes that stay in my collection (dupes of auto's, relics and seriel numbered cards), I have 500. I still want to hit the unique count though.
Konerko was good. Didn't need to see him in a Dodgers uniform though.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Konerko in a Dodger uniform. I just wish the Dodgers had never dealt him away. And fwiw, I agree that the players shouldn't be out there. I support any player that opts out of playing this season. But at the same time, I will still watch 2020 Dodgers games (assuming the season isn't shut down before Opening Day).
ReplyDeleteThe Great X-Pectations insert set is really nice. I've thought about putting it together a few times, but just haven't gotten around it.
