If only the card was 100 years old...

I've mentioned here a couple times before the like of newer (read - cheaper) cards of older players because I won't be one to collect cards from the 50s or earlier - or atleast not in any real numbers. Well, lucky enough to touch on another such card today.

Highlights:

The usual (in a good way) suspects in getting a couple new to me McDonalds cards - these from 2007-08 and including Anze's "first year" card. In addition, had to add in the 2005 Baseball Classics cards that add to my collection - both solid pitchers. Bob Feller, born in 1918 - geez - almost 100 years ago - winning 266 games over about a 20 year period with the Indians from the mid 30s to mid 50s. Jim Bunning pitched from the late 50s through into the 70s and won close to 250 games.

The rest
Keepers:

I am sure there are some cards these days similar to the Presidents' Trophy Upper Deck hockey card, but not that really come to mind. Might see something like this in an insert set these days...

Traders:

Hey! It's my favourite (as far as basketball set completion goes) basketball player - Kevin Garnett. Guess this means he won't be the hold out in completing Ultra 2004-05, if it happens. Actually, really like the photo on this card too as it's always nice to see someone truly enjoying their work - smile and all. I could do without the Austin Powers cards, as none of these fill the last few holes on that "set", but can't win them all.
