Since
there are over 250 Mariners cards I will start with those today and cover the
rest of the cards tomorrow. There are actually so many cards I want to show and
I am torn on where to start. OK, I know where to start… Griffey and Buhner, my
favorite two Mariners.
What
is better than having Griffey and Buhner on the same card? Having two cards
with both of them plus Kevin Mitchell.
Always nice to add some new Bone cards to my player collection
I
have been going back and forth on starting an Edgar player collection but until
now I have left the cards with my Mariners collection but Bo helped me make up
my mind when he sent 19 new Edgar cards.
The
other Martinez, Tino. He was with the Mariners during the magical 1995 before
leaving for the evil empire in New York where he had a much more successful career
including 4 World Series Titles.
A
nice collection of core player for the Mariners
A
super group of Mariner’s pitchers with Randy Johnson, Mike Hampton and Jaime
Moyer. They all went on to have successful careers elsewhere but consider that
between the three they have 63 seasons played, 720 wins, 8703 strikeouts and 2
World Series Titles.
I
came across this by accident but what are the chances that both Topps and Upper
Deck used the images from the same pitch for Erik Hanson? The Stadium Club
image shows the ball just about to be released and the Upper Deck image is just
as the ball leaves his hand. Same shadows, same folds on the uniform, same opened top button and same background.
Glad you enjoy them!
