Your favorite baseball card

I thought it was this one:



But, in all honesty, it's this one. I think it's one of the few cards of that era that's held a significant value because people still are willing to pay for a piece of their childhood:

 

I was done collecting by the time the Griffey rookie came out. I stopped in 1991. The market was flooded and I had lost interest.
You are right about the card, I don't consider it part of "my era."

That Mattingly card was my pursuit.

 

Had to buy this one when I saw it.

 

Christ, was that taken with a disposable camera? Shit, my 4-year-old takes better pictures than that shade-face abomination.

 

Fifteen seconds after this photo was taken, a coked-up Chico Escuela caved in the photographer's head with the bat because it was clearly the only way to kill the purple dragon demon emerging from his ears.

 

And then someone shot Buckwheat!

 

Chico and Garrett Morris separated at birth. Baseball been berry berry good to me.

 

Raring to go in 1965 ........... HOF dreams fading, 1966.

 

He even pretended he batted lefty in 65.

 

I read something last week that a production error caused Ed Wojna cards to be oversupplied in 1986 Topps packs.
I would guess this was the case for several runs of the late 1980s.
One of the reasons the 1984 Donruss set with the Mattingly rookie was special was because it was undersupplied.
As a boy of that summer you simply couldn't find the packs anywhere.
