Today a package arrived from Brad over at Rickey Henderson Collectibles. Brad sent a great package that included about 50 cards. If you have never visited RHC, check it out. Brad is more thank willing to do some trading and is listed as a Trading Buddy here. Most of the cards Brad sent I needed and best of all some of them I had never seen before. Since I was not really collecting in the mid 90′s I had never really seen the Pacific, Pinnacle or Aurora cards before. There are also two Ozzie cards I had never knew existed, one being the tiny 1992 Donruss card and the other being this weird Topps card….

I saw weird because its obviously The Wizard on the front, but check out the back of this bad boy:

See what I mean? Mark Davis? Huh? Yeah weird, like I said! If someone knows the reasoning behind this one please let me know.

Here are a few of my other favorites from the package:

I really like the reprint Bob Gibson card. I mean I don’t know how you could not enjoy that card but I won’t get in to that here. The Pujols Bazooka comic card is a first for me as well, I never knew these things existed. What exactly are these things printed on anyway does anyone know? It feels like it would evaporate if it got wet but its a pretty cool lil card. I also really enjoy the Victory card of Rick Ankiel. Any card of Rick when he was pitching is cool. Thanks again Brad for the great send and keep an eye out for your return package – it was mailed out today.
