Nice pickup. Now you need to get the other 15 to 20 versions.

Need to get it re-holdered small crack on the back of the case but I like this 2nd year Mo in full Yankee uniform

Some recent Rookie Pick-Ups.

Was excited to land a hard-to-find 1990 Fleer Canadian Wax Box. The 1990 Fleer rookie cards below are Canadian. Also pulled a McGwire, 2 Clemens, 2 Bonds, 2 Ripken, 3 Griffey Jr,'s, and 1 Dave Martinez. For a "junk" era box - it was a blast to open - and a successful break!

That Bernie Williams Topps TV and McDonald's Olerud are pretty tough too.

Do you know how were those Topps TV cards distributed?

From what I've been able to dig up - the Topps TV Glossy sets were distributed (in limited supply it seems) to the team's local "viewing" area. Not every team is represented. Other teams include the Mets, Red Sox, Cardinals, Cubs and an All-Star set. (There might be another team or two - can't remember off the top of my head.)

Occasionally I see singles for sale on Ebay - but rarely see the Williams. One seller had the team set on sale - for a very reasonable price - so I picked one up. Mattingly, Winfield and Sanders are the other keys in the Yankee set. I wouldn't mind picking up the Todd Hundley (Mets) but really don't want to get the team set to do so.

Picked up this one for the rookie HOFer collection.

Slowed down collecting for a while and didn't even check the boards for several months. Got refreshed and started buying again around May. Here's some stuff that has come in since then.

1992 Fleer Update is a great little set. Got my first one in 1992 for Chirstmas - as a Kevin McReynolds fan, I wanted all the traded sets that year to get his first Kansas City cards. Picked up a few more since then too. Key rookies of Piazza, Kent and Wakefield. One of the better sets of the early 90's in my opinion.

Nice cards, all!
