I'm starting to run low on the mid-'90s bargain bin wax, which means a trip to the ol' hobby store should be happening soon. Perhaps I'll make it there this weekend. In the meantime, here's a pack of 1994 Series 3 Stadium Club. I wonder who they saved for last in this set.
553 - Tony Phillips
656 - Dan Wilson (At the first major league game I ever attended, at Safeco Field in Seattle, there were some merciless hecklers who couldn't stop yelling Dan Wilson's name. I never really figured out why - I was sitting in right field and he's a catcher.)
550 - Turner Ward (This era of Brewers jerseys was just bad.)
564 - Ricky Bones (See? Bad.)
704 - Greg Hibbard (Hibbard actually had a pretty respectable 1993 season: 15-11, 3.96 ERA)
643 - Lonnie Smith (Numbered 543 on the back, but apparently that's wrong. I had no idea Lonnie Smith was still around in 1994.)
628 - Ryan Klesko Rookie Rocker (I wonder if there are any "Rookie Rocker" cards of John Rocker.)
675 - Felix Fermin (Lots of Mariners in this pack.)
11 of 12 - Randy Johnson Dugout Dirt (These are 1:6 pack inserts according to the back of the pack wrapper. Look at that mullet, flapping in the breeze! Randy just announced his retirement. But wait until you get a load of the back of the card...)
I've actually hiked a little bit on Mt. Ranier and I don't remember a grotesque cartoonish baseball player standing on the top of it for some reason.
637 - Scott Erickson
554 - Melido Perez (Couldn't they find a better photo?)
643 - Lonnie Smith Golden Rainbow (Here's the one-per-pack parallel. I'm not entirely sure what a "golden rainbow" is, though.)
567 - Melvin Nieves

I think Melido Perez is still on the Yankees disabled list.
ReplyDeleteIf the player's name wasn't so lamely done, these would be sweet cards.
I actually think that Melido card looks pretty great - the Yankees had a lot of pitchers with good pickoff moves in the 90s, although I don't really remember his.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned the disabled list because back in those days, GHI, a health insurance company sponsered the dl report, and he was on it for like a year straight.
ReplyDeleteDymo labels, couldn't remember it when I made the original post. Used for the text of the last names. Very lame indeed.
I think a Golden Rainbow is something you can get for an additional 3500 baht in Bangkok...
