Regards,

I am impressed with your computer skills as well. I wonder if Jose Canseco has approached you to buy your collection. I know if someone had 1000s of photographs of me many of which are one of a kind, I may be inclined to purchased it for my family.

Thanks! He isn't a card collector at all, though I wish he were sometimes! Then again, I am glad he isn't for fear of going up against him in auctions

Thats a good point. We all reach a point in life though that we want to be remembered and have tangible stuff to pass down. Im sure he has tons of stuff, but 20 years from now etc, he will know someone has a treasure trove of stuff of him, i cant help but think he will be more interested at some point..

I think it is awesome! Canseco fans have been treated to him playing ball with several teams outside of the MLB ever since 2002. He has kept himself in great shape, and can still hit homers.

agreed...kind of a latter version of Minnie Minoso (appearing - professionally, at least - in multiple decades, minus the needles *injections* - no offense, of course, implied or otherwise) to Minoso fans out there, of which I am one.

some - many? - may disagree with my / your opinions, but...Jose - for better or worse - has always been larger than life in many ways: go out and make a few extra bucks, keep yourself in shape / the spotlight (again, for better or worse), but I cannot begrudge the man for doing what he's gotta do to make some extra scratch.

dude was a monster for a number of years 1986-91, 1994-1999 - tainted or otherwise - but I admire your (Tanner) passion for his stuff, and hope your relationship with Jose and his family continues...NOT even insinuating that you're a "stalker" of Canseco, but rather admiring your perseverance and ability to hook up with Mr. "ball off the noggin" home run misplay, and that you've kept it personal - and fun.

looking forward to seeing a few Canseco "pitching" originals down the road in your custom cards.

Thanks! I may never talk to him again ever, which is fine. I'm just happy what happened in the past While I may come across as a stalker to some, I'd say a large amount of my drive for collecting his cards solely is for the love of the cards themselves.
