is it mini-collection worthy?

i know with the advent of topps now, some have begun mini-collections of cards from games which they attended.  i believe i have only been to one game that was worthy of a topps now card - dodgers vs. nationals last september - however i have been to a few other games that have been featured on cardboard.

i was at steve garvey's 1,118th consecutive game which was included in one of the fleer sports illustrated sets, and i attended game 1 of the 1988 world series which has been featured on a lot of cards over the years.  i also attended shawn green's 4-homer game in milwaukee back in 2002.  cards related to that event are a little more scarce - there are some that reference the game, but the photos may or may not match.  here's a card from 2003 fleer box score that includes the dodger side of the box score (duh)
as a result, this card would be part of my games attended mini-collection, but as of now i don't have such a thing.  any cards from the games listed above are already in my steve garvey or dodger collections. i suppose if i am ever at a twins game (or other non-dodger game for that matter) that earns a topps now card i will pick it up, but until then this is one mini-collection that i am not pursuing.

  1. Wow. Super jealous. Those are three very memorable games in MLB history you attended. I totally understand why you collect these cards.
