Fab Four and Five

I thought I had a birthday post today but apparently I got the date wrong and I still have a couple of days. Today, you will get the last of the Fab Five players that I'm posting (the 4th). The 5th I didn't add any cards to his collection. After today, I will have 3 more new PC's and they aren't Fab Fivers so now it's all guess work for you. One MLB player, one NBA player and an NFL player. The MLB player played with yesterdays post. The NBA you will definitely know but I doubt you'll guess I collect him and the NFL will be obvious when you hear who it is.

Jimmy Key didn't go on the careers that Webber, Howard and Rose did so he has a lot less cards. I grabbed these from Sluggo's boxes while sorting.

I got these from my brother who is sorting for another guy. These 2 also go to my Michigan collection. I don't think I've see either of those sets before.

These 4, plus the 3 I already had in my Michigan collection give me 7 cards of Jimmy King.

The other Fab Five player is Ray Jackson, I do have 3 cards of his in my Michigan collection so I don't have none, I'm just not adding any with these posts because he only has 13 cards listed on TCDB so I haven't ran across anymore.

Just a few cards

Lots of cards in this post and just like the last post, it all came from Dennis of "Too Many Verlanders." It's also the first post this month of a team and not a player although I scanned the majority of it by players.

I'm going to start off with a few Michigan cards of the other sports before I get to the majority of the post. This card is awesome. I've been wanting to get a Michigan hockey card, and it's numbered to /999. I don't really get into hockey but all the maize and blue makes this a great card. I do get to some Michigan hockey games now that Notre Dame has joined the Big Ten Conference (in hockey) so they come here to South Bend every year now.

These were the only 2 cards I need out of the basketball cards he sent me. Always happy to add a card of the Fab Five since they are the reason that I am a Michigan fan to this day. It is my 6th card of Webber and my 2nd of his backup.

Now we get into the football. I scanned some by player if they were popular players but these are all Michigan collection cards, not player collection cards even though I'll probably list how many cards I have of the player.

These 2 cards of Arrington give me 15 of him.

3 cards of Avant also give me 15. Love those Topps Magic cards.

1 great looking card of Carter gives me 8. You know I'm going to like a vintage look alike.

3 cards of Edwards give me 10. Another magic, yes!

5 cards of super Mario give me 14 of him.

Make that 15 with this sweet relic card which is my first of his.

And a whole bunch of Wheatley, 12 to be exact. These give me 16 of him.

Next up are some singles of popular players.

This is my first of our current coach of him in the Maize and Blue. I have a first pitch baseball card of him as well.

I'm showing this one because I have a six degrees of seperation with him. He married a classmate of mine in high school. His wife's brother was a QB at Michigan and was Jerame's roomate. Her brother was also the QB at my high school when my brother played with him. It is my 2nd card of Tuman, the other is an auto.

This is my 9th card of the #1 draft pick.

This is my 3rd card of the ESPN analyst. Oh yeah, he won a Heisman too so there's that as well.

This is my 18th card of the 12 year veteran and he's still active.

This is my 3rd card of Old 98 even though I've never heard of the set but I'm not picky either.

You know with this many Michigan cards, there's going to be some TK Legacy cards. I really like the cards of the old programs, and they're numbered to /250.

Even though I showed 43 cards, Dennis added 102 cards to the Michigan collection. I told you he sent me a bunch of cards and there are still more to come in some player collections.
