2003 Donruss Elite Jimmy Rollins: Dust collects on the foil easily.
2004 Studio Stars Jim Thome: The signing of Jim Thome was an adrenaline shot for the franchise. This card has rounded corners almost like a credit card.
2004 Donruss World Series Steve Carlton:
2004 Donruss Studio Mike Schmidt: Who misses the burgundy? Anyone?
2004 Donruss Studio Stars Jim Edmonds: He was the best diver in the outfield I've ever seen live.
2004 Donruss World Series Brett Myers: He always looks like he'll throw the ball at a bystander.2001? Fleer Genuine Pat Burrell: The beginning of the years of the "Pat Burrell Grimacing"
2004 Donruss World Series Matt Morris
2002 Donruss Elite Darryl Kile: It was very sad when he passed away. Matt Morris was one of the pitchers who exhibited a proper tribute to him during that year.
2003 Fleer Rookies and Greats Bob Gibson and Albert Pujols: Gibson is menacing in sepia tones and Pujols was just entering his otherworldly phase at this time.
2001? Fleer Genuine Rick Ankiel: He was a true phenom pitcher who got "Steve Blass Disease". I'm glad he made it back to the majors after so much effort.2002 Fleer Showcase Bud Smith: 2001 no-hitter! Traded to the Phillies in the Scott Rolen deal! Was already injured! That sums up his career.
Below are some of the inserts, numbered cards, and one of the jerseys I received in the break. Stan Musial cards are always great to see. The Mike Lieberthal is #d to 25; the only difference is the blue foil on the card. Remember Donruss parallels?
Thanks for the break John! It was really fun to follow the results and see the cards!
