I was reading the other day over at
Sports Cards Uncensored that Leaf was coming back in some
bastardized form. Needless to say, I couldn't be less excited. To me, Leaf was a candy company that happened to branch out into baseball cards and other things. Here's a Leaf pack from 1995 from the 50 cent bins.
103 - Bobby Munoz (I think this is the rare design which surprisingly looks better when scanned than it actually does in purpose. I guess it's because the scanner picks up the rainbowy foil stuff in a bright way which looks kind of neat.)
15 - Melvin Nieves (I think I'm one of the only people who liked the Padres uniforms and two-color cap logos around this time. I should try to buy a cap.)
24 - Damon Buford
39 - Scott Servais
48 - Rondell White (Is it just me, or was Rondell White a lot worse than people seem to remember him?)
52 - Denny Hocking (One of the mid-'90s flames that I knew nothing about.)
65 - Mike Lieberthal (These backs are nothing to write home about. I'm not a fan of the minimal stats. The card number stamp thing is goofy looking, but easy to read.)
79 - Ray Lankford (Colby Rasmus will have a long ways to go yet before he's mentioned with the likes of other Cardinals center fielders like Jim Edmonds and Ray Lankford. Lankford played for the Cards for a very long time.)
186 - Tim Naehring
95 - Darrell Whitmore (Any Fish fans out there? No? You must be too busy attending baseball games to read these blogs.)
15 of 16 - Alex Gonzalez Gold Leaf Rookies (Hey, it's the new Braves shortstop.)
157 - Mark Gubicza
