Today's pulls from the lot let us highlight three more baseball players as we get some cards of each.
Paul was a staple in New York for almost a decade, and was in that "really good" calibre of player, just not quite HOF quality (he didn't get to the mark needed to stay on the ballot after the first year he was on in 2007).
Won't complain about a Montreal Expos player...usually, but I mean, it's Cliff Floyd. At least I know where I can send these for a certain Expos collector in the blogosphere!
Not sure Juan ever got the love I though he deserved back in the early 90s. Maybe it was playing for Texas, but he was a home run stud in the SNES Ken Griffey Jr. baseball game, that was for sure. Loved playing with him and cranking the home runs. The man did hit over 40 home runs 5 times in his career which was a great mark.
He was on 2 HOF ballots, and barely was over the 5% mark his first year.
All in today, a couple keepers and a couple uncorrected error cards, some traders and Expos to send to a better home. A good day all in.
If the Floyds are traveling to a certain Borough..... A Juan Gonzalez Homefield Advantage would be appreciated as well.. (Incidentally, I have to get you my new address, don't I?)
ReplyDeleteNo worries - the pile for you grows, but was waiting to send to you once I hear you are settled with a new address, and in a good position to receive. I'll pull a Juan, assuming I remember by time I finish writing this...
DeleteAlso, as always, let me know if there's anything else you are looking for that I have - at this point looking to send a small box - probably for Christmas, to you. Might be a 330, maybe a 400.....if there's a bunch of stuff for sets you need that I have, feel free to push it to an 800 ct box.
I remember getting excited pulling Juan's cards back in the 90's. I had his rookie cards in Card Savers at one point.
