Back in January, Tom from The Angels In Order graciously had a giveaway on his blog. Over 150 cads were available, and commenters were allowed to pick up to 8. There was a lot of great stuff, and I'm quite happy to add some cards to the 'ol collection!
2002 Topps #704 Ichiro (GG) - Fresh off of his election to the Hall of Fame, I guess I had Irichro on the brain!
1994 Studio #159 Roger Clemens - I'm always glad to grab a Clemens I don't need. Tom actually had two Clemens available, but I already had the other one.
1986 Topps - 1986 All-Star Set Collector's Edition (Glossy Send-Ins) #12 Ron Guidry, #32 Tom Herr, and #56 Rich Gossage - I have a soft spot for those mail-in cards from the 80's. I never sent away for them as a kid, and I kind of wished I did.
1984 Topps Ralston Purina #3 Ted Simmons - I also have a soft spot for the Purina food-issue cards, for no other reason that there was a Purina plant in my hometown and there were days the surrounding neighborhood would smell like cat food. (It's weird what you remember as a child sometimes, isn't it? I didn't even live near that part of town..)
1973 Topps #136 Orioles Field Leaders (MGR, CO) - Couldn't pass up an early 70's card featuring a Hall of Fame manager!
1964 Topps #270 Rich Rollins - I watch the games now and occasional wonder how so many ballplayers back then wore glasses. Did Rollins ever lose his specs while making a play?
Thanks for the great cards Tom!
