Everybody loves oddball cards right? OK, well not everyone
but when it comes to Griffey the odder the better to me. First up is a DDK
Reprint, not sure who or what DDK is but there are plenty of their reprints
around. The card is based on the 1963 Topps Rookie Stars cards. I normally don’t
like floating head cards but for some reason this one got my attention.
The second card is a magazine issue from a copy of 1990
Baseball Cards Magazine. The card is based on the 1969 Topps Baseball set.
To make this a trilogy of cards the third card is from the
1993 Bleachers Mega Star release. This card came from a time where “Brighter!
Shinier! Holograms or Metal!” was the mantra of card companies and with the
card #/5000 it was considered a super-de-doper short print (SDDSP?) in 1993.
Heck yeah... I love oddballs! I wish there was a checklist out there the different sports cards that came in magazines. That 69T design card out of Baseball Card Magazine is the reason I love finding old issues of that magazine at the flea market.
