Thanks, @Just21hb

Thanks to Justin, I have four new Topps buybacks in my collection.  He reached out to me on Twitter asked for my address and nothing else in return.  Collectors like Justin are what's right in a hobby that has a lot of "wrong" associated with it.  I will have that Griffey out to you soon, Justin!

This card is definitely my favorite of the four.  I'm sure Shane would love to get it through our buyback exchanges, but this one may remain mine for awhile.  I love the old Milwaukee uniforms, have grown fond of 1990 Topps and I love fielding images.  Sorry, Shane! 

I love this one as well.  I live just minutes from where the Rangers play (and played in the early 1970s), but have never seen a palm tree in this part of Texas. 

You know it's a great group when my third favorite card is from my favorite set ever. 

You also know it's a great package when the one bringing up the rear is an All-Star card.  This envelope was full of buyback goodness.  Thanks again, Justin!  

If you shop online and haven't signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out.  I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there.  Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year.  FREE CARDS!

If you're on Twitter, please give me a follow.  You can also find me on Trading Card Database.  I love trading cards, when it makes sense.  Happy collecting!

After cropping the scan of this card, I'm confused.  I can't tell if it's printed crooked or if someone trimmed the card.  It looks trimmed, based on how crooked the scan is.  I held up another card behind it and can't tell that it's smaller.  So weird.  Maybe my brain and eyes are playing tricks on me.  Ah well, it was from a dime box.  I'm good either way.

It's somewhat easy to find vintage cards in dime boxes.  It's not as easy to find one of a Hall-of-Famer AND in pretty good shape.  I was thrilled to find this one.
