The box from DukeyDevil continues with a whole bunch of Jays, continuing where I left off yesterday, in the mid-90s.
Some more Paul Molitor and Delgado stars are great. Though I will always think of Molitor as a Brewer over a Jay, I do think his most successful time came with the Jays - happily for the team.
As we get to the later 90s, we get into some Bowman. Was never a big fan of the sets, and now with the massive focus of the set on rookies, but the designs have always been hit or miss, and the signed name on the front isn't one I love, regardless how it's done and Bowman did it a lot, but at least it's a bit out of the way here.
I really like the Roger Clemens card in the centre. The Legends set is one I am collecting anyway, so will need another copy for the set work, but the rating by others on the backs is a unique touch for the set.
Nice to get all three base Jays cards from 2000 Fleer Showcase, and they look really goo in hand with a nice finish to them.
Speaking of Bowman sets, here we get a black and white Heritage card from Bowman of a prospect / draft pick of Toronto, which never made it to the big leagues - Chuck Kegley floated around the Toronto minor system but never got to the Jays team for a regular season appearance.
Nice with the one and done Jay set for the Vernon Wells card from 2007 Bowman's Best. There are a couple serial numbered cards in the "base" set but I don't count those, though I would still love to get them.
Definitely some cards through the 10s, but not nearly as many here. At least Urena is the final of 3 Jays cards I needed for the Bowman base set, so another great completed team set.
Another day worth of Jays to share which is all newer stuff, and all newer stuff to me too I am sure!
