Junior Junkie's Generosity, Part VI

Part I II III IV V

I hope you like Mark McGwire cards, because I've got another post full of them. Actually, I hope you don't like Mark McGwire cards, so you'll send them all to me.

1991 Topps #270 Mark McGwire
1992 Studio #226 Mark McGwire
1993 Duracell #9 Mark McGwire
1993 Donruss Triple Play #87 Mark McGwire (x3)
1993 Pinnacle #58 Mark McGwire (x2)
1993 Topps Stadium Club #595 Mark McGwire

I actually got 4 Triple Play cards, but 18 cards scan much nicer than 19. And, I figured you got the gist of it after 3 of them.

1993 Studio #141 Mark McGwire
1993 Upper Deck #566 Mark McGwire (x3)
1993 Upper Deck #493 Mark McGwire
1994 Pinnacle #300 Mark McGwire
1994 Topps Stadium Club #358 Mark McGwire
1994 Donruss Triple Play #5 Mark McGwire
1994 Upper Deck #67 Mark McGwire

Either the photos on the Pinnacle and Triple Play cards were taken at the same time, or this was one of Big Mac's daily drills. Even if it was, he's got the exact same jacket, and the sun's at about the same angle based on the shadow of his hat bill. I vote for two photos of the same practice.

Number 5 Type Collection's Cardinals Giveaway, Part 1

I won a nice contest from Number 5 Type Collection, and the pile he sent me was over 40 cards. Unfortunately for all of you, I have this urge to

and also tag the sets and players I collect, which means, due to the blogger limit of 200 characters, I'll have to split them into 5 posts. At least it's an appropriate number. Let's start #1 off strong with some Ozzies:

1996 Pinnacle Aficionado #5 Ozzie Smith

1989 Donruss Bonus MVPs #BC-14 Ozzie Smith

1987 Topps Glossy All Stars #5 Ozzie Smith

1988 Nestle #5 Ozzie Smith

1987 Donruss #5 Ozzie Smith

1993 Duracell Power Players I #11 Ozzie Smith

That concludes the Ozzie Smith portion of the prize. I like the oddballs thrown in, it virtually guarantees I don't have the card.

1988 Kmart #5 Jack Clark

I actually don't remember Jack Clark as a member of the Cardinals, but he managed a local Minor League team for awhile, and now does some in-studio work on Fox Sports for Cardinals games, so on some level I'm still familiar with him.

1988 Topps Big #5 Vince Coleman

1991 Post #5 Vince Coleman

Vince Coleman, another guy I don't remember from his playing days with the Cardinals, though I do recall him with the Mets and a few other stops. The 2 things I think about most with him are getting run over by the tarp, and throwing fireworks into a group of fans. It's kind of an odd legacy.

More to see tomorrow...
