So, I got like 40 hits on my White Whale post. That isn't too bad after taking off a couple years. (Strangely enough my most read post is was the one right before the Whale post. The 2015 post with the picture of a Topps car sticker. It has THOUSANDS of hits.
Anyway, I found a draft in my Blogger from 2013. Only someone that has taken a few years off of blogging can find a 5 year old draft. I had saved a title "Cardboard Collection Group Break" and had two scans, no other info. So evidently 5+ years ago I was part of a group break and I got at least these two cards. Seems and odd thing to get from a break in 2013. Maybe I got skunked and this was a conciliation package?
John Valentin is an often forgotten valuable part of the team in the 90s. He hit at or around .300 for almost half a decade yet is almost totally forgotten. Topps didn't forget him though. Here is a nice Stadium Club action shot, sort of. It really a Chrome version of Stadium Club.
Also in my draft folder was this currently underrated Topps Laser card. I remember when Laser came out, they were crazy expensive per pack. Even the commons were sought after. That crazy expensive back then was probably only like $5 but they still seemed glaringly overpriced considering they are pretty darn ugly. Now they are in dime boxes wherever dime boxes are found.
Surprised to see you pop up on the time line.
