Here's another pack from the Junk Wax Giveaway. Pacific was still getting their feet wet and it shows. This design is pretty unattractive, even for junk wax standards, although I will give them credit for full bleed photos.
275 - Greg Swindell (Considering what was to come next, these Astros uniforms are a bit of a relief to see.)
299 - Hipolito Pichardo
305 - Tom Candiotti (Was this knuckleballer "The Candy Man" or was that John Candelaria?)
327 - Alex Diaz (Gold trophies on a rookie... what a novel concept.)
235 - Jack Armstrong (Armstrong lost 17 games in the Marlins first ever season.)
370 - Carl Willis
391 - John Vander Wal
400 - John Franco (I didn't realize how long the Mets went with that cursive "New York" look on their road unis, unless this is an outdated photo.)
211 - Danny Bautista
262 - Chris Donnels
285 - John Habyan (Here's a look at what the card back design looks like. It's nice to see such a huge photo, but the stats are lacking. A lot of Pacific sets, or at least the earlier ones, were bilingual.)
I loved these cards personally, though I'm not sure why. I think the first time I ran across these oddly enough was on vacation @ MGM Studios in Orlando, FL. I need to track down the Braves players & Cal Ripken from this set...
ReplyDeleteNever collected these but suprisingly they don't look have bad.
