Highlights:
For all the complaining I have done about gum damage on 1990-1991 O Pee Chee Russian insert cards, nice to get a few absolutely clean ones...from the next year of course, but I will take it!
Lowlights:
Curse you Austin for showing your face around here again. I really didn't need to see any more of him....My worst nightmare would be getting a complete set of the cards as I would find it harder to get rid of. Maybe I should just randomly insert Austin Power cards when I send trades, sort of a calling card. Except that may stop me from having any more trading partners....
The rest
Keepers:
Br A Player has always been an oddball design to me each year, and this one is no different. I had not seen it before. I don't hate it, as it is atleast different, and I can read it so it isn't horribly ugly, a bit too computer techie look to it though.
Traders:
As always, just call dibs on anything you see that I can send you - though I may wait it out to see if I end up with a complete the Ultra 2004-05 Basketball set, but I already have a number of doubles of the cards I have picked so far.
I appreciate all the readers and anyone who has made comments so far - thank you for taking your time, and always feel free to leave comments and thoughts - I will read and respond to all.

That "Do you swing?" Austin Powers card isn't all that bad. Those movies came out when I was just the right age for them, so I've got fond memories of them. I imagine they wouldn't hold up all that well on a re-watch, but I have good memories associated with them.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day, I did enjoy the movies, have seen them again since and didn't find they held up well. My issue more with the game is how odd it seems - maybe one day I'll sucker my wife into trying to play a game since I have enough cards to do so...
