Coffee is ready, cards are ready, keyboard is ready, so I guess I am ready.
Let's tackle Part 2 of my mail day from Jon from A Penny Sleeve For Your Thoughts.
Now that I tackled all of the non-sport end of the mail day, let's check out some sports cards that were hidden in the layers.
I have a copy of this Ken Griffey Jr, but this one is out of the package so it will fit in my box of Griffey cards. Sadly, the voice part doesn't work, still cool though and love the photo.
I thought this card was super cool. It's made of really thick plastic like a backboard would be.
I think someone knows of my love for 90's Knicks basketball and my PC player of Allan Houston. This starting five was where my passion for basketball came from.
I always thought these had a fun design. I try to forget he played anywhere else but NY.
Upper Deck was always creative, they once even joined forces with Lego to create a Lego character and card to go with it.
I can't wait to add these to TCDB to see if I have them or not. After you reach a certain point in any collection you tend to forget what you have and what you don't. That's why spreadsheets and TCDB are so important.
Rivalries. Knicks, Heat, those were the liveliest of games in the 90's.
And the biggest surprise of the box was this card,
Andre Williams Tools Of The Trade rookie. What I love about these cards is the variety of relics and where they come from on the players uniform. They can be pants, jersey, gloves, etc. They were some of the best Panini relics. I am not sure I have this one or not, will have to check TCDB, either way I keep all relics and try to see how many of each I can add.
That does it for Part 2. Still more to come from this mail day.

I don't believe I have ever seen those Pro Talk cards before.
