i've been posting cards weekly from my retired numbers collection, and i've been enjoying preparing those posts. i also enjoyed looking through my collection for cards that would fit the collection, as well as slogging through comc to find cards for players whose inventory i already owned fell short. inevitably, i found cards that fit better into other parts of my collection.
this 1993 ted williams etched in stone roberto clemente card
same goes for this 2016 topps stadium club catfish hunter card
this 2007 upper deck roy halladay card
this card is interesting in that it makes no reference that i could find to burger king.
the angels have not retired reggie jackson's number (for good reason) but i pulled this 2004 topps all-time fan favorites card
from a dark corner of my collection to put in the name/number on the back binder.
and this 1994 score burger king cal ripken jr card
during my search for michael young cards to use, i came across his 2006 topps heritage card and promptly bought one for my 42 collection
i am not really sure why the rangers were wearing 42 back in 2005, and i guess i am not 100% sure that young is wearing 42, but i have convinced myself enough to put it in the 42 collection.
finally, this 1992 topps kids card of roberto alomar
was the card that i had in my retired number collection until the blue jays unretired the number and thus eliminated alomar from that collection.
