you couldn't field a team with these 9, but they are a good representation of the cards i recently received from jacobmrley at starting 9. you'll see what i mean right away when i show three cards featuring the penguin. here's a 2005 playoff prestige card
and a 2003 upper deck sweet spot classic jersey cardplus his 2003 upper deck sweet spot classic base card
also from that set, here's a duke snider card
in which he is holding four bats. not sure why.
i do know, however, why don drysdale is holding a ball with "#3" on it on his 2001 upper deck legends card
that's because it also has the date (10/5/63) on it, which was the day of game 3 of the 1963 world series. in that game, big d shut out the yankees on three hits and beat them 1-0 thanks to a jim gilliam walk, a jim bouton wild pitch, and a tommy davis single in the first inning. the dodgers went on to sweep the yankees in the series, thank you very much.
here's don sutton on a 2003 topps all-time fan favorite card
i enjoy this card even more now that 2012 topps archives has arrived with a thud.
in 2002, donruss put out a set of its own, similar to archives i suppose. they called it donruss originals, and this is one of the hideo nomo cards from the set
if i recall correctly, they used their 1982, 1984, 1986, and 1988 designs in the set with a repeating checklist. they also made some retro 'what if' cards for 1978 and 1980.here's a 1994 post canadian card of italian-american superstar slugger mike piazza
voici a vous!
finally, a 1981 fleer steve garvey "most hits nl" card
he'd be in my starting 9 everyday.
thanks max!
