Today's eBay lot is 1986 Fleer, and I've got a whole page worth this time. Two are Yankees, and 7 are Dodgers.

Jerry Reuss started out with the Cardinals in 1969, and Tom Niedenfuer finished with them in 1990. In the middle, they met in LA. Dave Righetti wasn't a Cardinal, but he did appear in the original RBI Baseball for NES, which always boosts my desire for a player's card just a bit.

Donuts from Johnny's Trading Spot, Part VI

Several weeks ago, I read a post at Johnny's Trading Spot titled Instant mini collections up for grabs. "Up for Grabs" always gets my attention, so I threw my name into the mix. They were supposed to be randomly assigned, but through a lucky draw and one trade, each of the winners wound up with exactly what they originally wanted most. For me, that was cards with batting donuts.

These cards were all "First Row" cards in my collection. I keep my cards stored in bpxes with 3 rows each, sorted by year and set. I always take notice when I acquire a card that is old enough to go in the first row. Right now that's anything 1984 or earlier, though 1984 Topps is getting close to being pushed into row 2. So, in total I've got 12 first row cards here.

Thanks again to Johnny's Trading Spot for the kickstart to my batting donut collection.

The cards may not be flashy, but powder blue Sansabelt pants just scream 1980s baseball, along with the 1980s logos for the Twins and Mariners. I've said before how much I like that trident logo, and I'm starting to think I might want to purchase a throwback Mariners hat if I can find one. I'll just tell everyone it's M for Matt.
