check my sixes

earlier this week i showed a few cards from 2021 leaf lumber. i've got a couple more today.  first up are the only solo cards steve garvey appeared on in the set. i guess this is a 2021 leaf lumber game used lumber card

this is the most common version of the card - the bronze version numbered to 25. here's the back:

as always, i am disappointed that garvey's nameplate has been removed from the back of his jersey, but the "6" is recognizable to me as the dodger jersey font. i had been content with just owning the bronze version, but then i saw a red version pop up:

it is numbered to 7, but i was interested in it because it features an exterior piece of the bat that was chopped up for these cards. it's not a bat barrel card, but it is still nice to have a card like this.

here's another card from the set - lumber numbers

i really like these cards because jersey numbers were (and still are) a big thing for me as a young fan. here we have stan musial, garvey, ryan howard, and willie wilson - all guys who wore number 6. for these cards, i think the back of the jersey image works well. so, of course, leaf went and made some of these using images of players mixed in with jersey backs. 

i have a few more cards from this set to show off in a future post, so stay tuned for more cards without pictures of players.
