Because he's cool enough to put in the effort to find my Michigan guys, most of my haul is over on TMM as usual, but I did notice a card in his port one day that I knew I had to ask him for, and Tim was generous enough to include it in this very package:
Kirk Gibson 2002 Stadium Club World Champion Relics jersey
Kirk Gibson cards are nice. Kirk Gibson Tigers cards are nicer. Kirk Gibson Tigers hits are nicest. And Kirk Gibson Tigers hits celebrating the 1984 World Series are the nicest-est! I thought Topps did a nice job of designing this relics set back in 2002, and I think well enough of it that this is now the third card (Trammell bat, Maddux jersey) I've acquired, and there's others I'd love to add, especially Lou Whitaker's; Gibby also has a bat version I'll try to find.
I'm happily adding this to my Gibson PC, which I recently pretty much completed scanning. As one of more than 100 cards it's my eighth hit, comprising three autographs and five relics. Speaking of the latter, this one is noted multiple times on the card as "regular season game-worn." I don't particularly care that it didn't come from a postseason jersey from that year, but the fact that it might actually be "game-worn" is nice!
Tim, thanks again for a fun package, and hopefully I can contribute more to your PCs, especially the new ones!
I don't remember those Stadium Club World Champion relics. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I always thought they were fun even with the tiny relics. It's great to get cards that celebrate players that don't always get tons of hobby love.
