A guy at work came up to me with a Todd Collins Michigan card and showed it to me. We started talking about cards and he said he was just getting back into it so I have him TCDB and Sportlots addresses for him to look around. I'm going to try to get some cards to give to him on Monday. I don't have a ton of non-collection cards but I think I have some of his team. It was rather enjoyable to talk cards at work, even if it was just for a few minutes.
Today's player collection is one of PC's that Dennis and I share, that has nothing to do with Michigan.
This is the 1987 Pop Up from Donruss. I already had the 1988 and 1989 so when I pulled this out, I thought I already had it. I'm not sure I knew they did that many years of them.
I'm not sure what this is, I didn't measure it but it's about the size of a 4x6 photograph. It's not quite as thick as a card but feels like one. I thought maybe it was a photograph type pic but this is the back.I assume this was some kind of give-away at a school or whatever. I'm guessing whatever it is was, was directed right at kids by the quote (maybe) on the back.
Since it's an odd size, I put it on my shelf with the Ripken mini figure and his book.
Dennis will get a lot of thanks until my Sportlots package that I haven't even had shipped yet gets here because all I have left to show on the cards he sent me.
Glad you needed the pop-up (though I think I'd checked on TCDB). I believe the Ripken photo is one of a couple I got when I tried to get him to sign TTM like 25 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you have a co-worker into cards. My old boss collected cards as a kid, so we'd talk about it every now and then, but never traded. These days the closest thing I have is a one of my friend's husbands has a card collection from the 90's. But she doesn't know squat about cards herself.
