As I'm sure most of you are NOT aware, I'm getting married in about 7 weeks. This is of course a good thing, but it has two unfortunate side effects - my card purchases have been scaled back pretty significantly this year due to other expenses, and I've been a bit too preoccupied with other things to find much time to blog! Hopefully I can start to remedy the latter problem, if not the former....
I did recently manage to buy some packs of Topps Series 2, and I even scored a few hits (more on those in coming posts). But there was only one card that truly got me excited, and I pulled it out of my very last pack:
Ever since I started my Griffey collection waaaay back in 1992, I have ALWAYS wished for one done in the style of my all-time favorite set design. It may be a mini, it may have taken two decades, but it's finally mine!
It also warms my heart to know that I can once again open packs and hope to see a card of my favorite player. That was a real drag last year!
Sweet card! I love the old logo too. Glad they used this instead of a more recent image.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a huge fan of the '87 design, but I like these minis. The Griffey looks particularly nice.
