Cards From Johnny

 

Johnny's Trading Spot does his almost daily card give away and I was a lucky winner recently.  With the number of comments and the fact that I don't comment as often as I'd like, it was a nice surprise to actually get picked.  So I thought I'd show off a few favorite cards that I received.

Todd Walker was a steady player for the Twins in the late 90's.  An infielder who hit a career best .316 in 1998 but was soon traded to Colorado for a player named Todd Sears and cash.  Despite that, Pinnacle made a pretty cool trading card and put Walker on it.

Johnny also included this 2023 Bowman of fan favorite Bryon Buxton.

The Buxton's kept coming.  In fact, I thought Johnny included 4 of the same card but a second look at the background and I soon realized something was different.  Not only are the patterns different but these are acetate cards!  I didn't know Topps made acetate cards, but these are from the 2018 High Tek insert set.  Johnny must have known I have a soft spot for acetate cards.  Very cool.

Perhaps the coolest card of all is this '87 Alf.  I've never seen this card before but it captures so much of what summers are (or used to be) up here in Minnesota.  I swam with those inner tubes (sometimes patched as shown) when I was a kid.  And I am still trying to fish all 10,000 lakes.  Awesome card.

Thank you Johnny!

And to keep the card giving spirit alive...here's a box of completely random baseball cards.  There are over 100 cards.  If you want to be included in this drawing, mention "100" in your comment.
