Stadium Club Pack Rip #4

Trying to move right along because I still have A LOT of packs to tear through and post. Here we go: This pack rip #4 of 1993 Topps Stadium Club Series 3...
#660 David Justice Atlanta Braves #692 Steve Decker Florida Marlins (another Marlin catcher)
#703 David Cone Kansas City Royals (the first Royals card!)
#648 Jose Guzman Chicago Cubs
#743 Charlie Hayes Colorado Rockies (the greatest pinch hitter of his generation)
#730 Jim Tatum Colorado Rockies
#720 Nigel Wilson Florida Marlins (the guy who was supposed to wipe Hank Aaron off the record books and bring glory to Florida!)
#738 Steve Howe New York Yankees (I really don’t want to post another pack till we get at least one Steve Howe joke here)
#658 Lonnie Smith Pittsburgh Pirates
#606 Greg Hibbard Chicago Cubs
#721 Mike Beilecki Cleveland Indians
#650 Tom Glavine Atlanta Braves
#696 Tony Tarasco RC Atlanta Braves
#641 Dave Stieb Chicago White Sox (seeing him a White Sox uniform is weird)
Okay, there ya go, pack #4. This set seems to be focused on the Braves and the two expansion teams. Good looking cards though and still have 20 of these left to go… troll out. Get cracking on the Steve Howe jokes!

Colorado Rockies Fan Wanted-Reward Offered, Inquire Within

Notice the title didn’t say Rockies fans-I only need to find one. I have had great luck finding team collectors to trade with who follow nearly every team in MLB. I am still looking to find collectors for three different teams-the Pittsburgh Pirates, Oakland A’s and the Colorado Rockies. I am not too worried about the Pirates because they do their spring training in the town I live in and there are always kids at the camp who love free cards, but the other two teams… It was only a couple of months ago that I filled boxes and sent them to Children’s Hospitals in Denver and Oakland. That felt good and I actually received a hand written thank you letter from 3 different kids, so I think I will continue to do that myself. I do think that in order to keep the Blog-O-Sphere self sufficient it is important that we have traders for every team, so if there is a Rockies fan out there who is willing to come forward, these 2 cards (and whatever other Rockies cards I might have) are yours, free of charge. There is a catch though. You have to be willing to trade with other bloggers in exchange for Rockies cards. The Rockies were a pretty exciting team this year, they are competitive each year and aren’t far removed from the World Series, and surely they have fans that collect cards, right? Comment here if you want these 2 cards, but only if you are willing to take on more Rockies cards from a number of people. Oh, these two cards... The first is a Starquest RARE from 2008 Upper Deck of Troy Tulowitzki and the other is from 2008 Allen and Giner-a jersey relic of Brad Hawpe. Please comment or email me at bacontowne at yahoo dot com. Thanks! I love this network, I love this hobby! Troll out.
