I may have to look for one on the cheap if I can find one. Don't hate on Shinjo, he was supposed to be like Ichiro but as usual the Mets got the wrong Japanese player (Matsui ring a bell).BA Bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150345904848914238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-13935312746460162522012-09-28T20:55:02.479-04:002012-09-28T20:55:02.479-04:00Fortunately the Ichiro's nowhere near as crazy...Fortunately the Ichiro's nowhere near as crazy as the Pujols. His base card's under $10 and you can probably get the DK for under $10 as well on COMC.<br /><br />There's definitely a few great names in here, headlined by Clapp. Don't forget Tim Spooneybarger!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644523735533872065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-8025868472515812872012-09-28T20:50:23.050-04:002012-09-28T20:50:23.050-04:00Nice set, I've always liked these.

I have to find a copy of that Ichiro for my collection one of these days.<br /><br />Gotta love the appearance of Stubby Clapp as well.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-17261672374104057462012-09-28T19:49:57.794-04:002012-09-28T19:49:57.794-04:00Glad you liked it, thanks for reading! Yeah, I re...Glad you liked it, thanks for reading! Yeah, I really liked the overall designs of a lot of the later Donruss sets like this. As I said, I may have to do a post covering the regular '01 Donruss set because of a lot of the cool stuff Donruss did with it.<br /><br />And yeah, it was a bit different that they did the redemption card thing, plus you had to pay shipping (and if that happened now with Topps I'd probably be bitching about it), but it ended up being a very cool product overall. I do regret selling one set a little bit, but I did get a fairly nice price for it at the time, plus I was at at show so I got some instant gratification out of it!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644523735533872065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-45207452950922939702012-09-28T19:45:22.260-04:002012-09-28T19:45:22.260-04:00Cool beans!

Now I know why I never saw this one in stores...<br /><br />Thanks for the images of all the cards, too... Now I've got a shopping list. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
