most of the giveaways i've hosted have been "almost free" in that claimants can have as many cards as they choose, and need only send one card back to me in return. the most recent giveaway i hosted was a true giveaway so i was a bit surprised when one of the winners, mark z, sent a few cards back my way.
mark took care of a few 1991 needs from my want list, with five cards from 1991 classic including steady eddie murray
along with brett butler, kal daniels, orel hershiser, and ramon martinez
another 1991 need sent along was this 1991 legends sports memorabilia darryl strawberry card
new dodger strawberry was the subject of an absolute avalanche of oddball cards back then. the homecoming didn't go quite as planned but there was so much excitement early on. i really enjoy finding and receiving new-to-me dodger strawberry cards!
these guys are numbered to 199
i am reminded of the interesting stuff topps put on card backs in the early 2010's. in this case, the career chase of hank aaron's rbi total. ethier amassed another 152 rbi in his career after this card was printed, so he only fell 1,610 short of hammerin' hank's mark.
one more card to show, and it's a bit more modern. it's a 2013 topps chrome andre ethier blue refractor parallel
that's good stuff, just like these cards. thanks mark!
bonus content!
jon from penny sleeves reached out a couple of weeks ago asking about some player collections of mine and late last week these two cards showed up in my mailbox:
1997 collector's edge masters mark brunell ripped
anyway, more good stuff for the collection. thanks jon!
