a writer's perspective on cards i collect

i recently received some cards from jt at the writer's journey.  he was kind enough to help me understand exactly what he was sending.  have a look.

1987 topps tiffany dave lopes record breaker

not bad for an old guy.

there were a couple of double play cards (what else would there be?) in that sleeve, including this 2000 mlb showdown card of damian jackson (i think)

and then there was this...

so, we know it's an orel hershiser card, even though he didn't steal the 1988 nl cy young from danny jackson no matter what a particular reds' fan thinks.  the two had identical records, but only one of them pitched 59 consecutive scoreless innings that year.  anyway, it's a 2004 topps all-time fan favorites card of the bulldog

and, while cool in its own right, it is equally as cool due to the presence of roy campanella in the background.

thanks jt!
