A Haul Of Almost Free Cards

Jim (Cards As I See Them) recently had another of his (Almost) Free Card Friday giveaways. In exchange for at least one card from his want list, I was able to select up to 6 cards from the lot he posted. Even though I didn't get to read his post until the Tuesday after, there were still plenty of good cards left and I had no trouble finding six I liked:
 
 
The three Red Sox cards are pretty self-explanatory. I didn't even realize the Doerr was a short print until I had it in hand. Ortiz, even as a Twin, is always a welcome addition to the collection. I have a soft spot for the 80's Glossy All-Stars, and Schmidt was one I didn't have. The Pudge card just looked awesome. (I don't know why Jim gave that one away - it clearly says it's "A Keeper")

Favorite Card: Despite the heavy Red Sox flavor, the Sports Illustrated cover sticks out!
 
Thanks for the cards Jim!

  2. I'm not familiar with the player, but the color matching Breslow is nice.
