Pull Tab Awareness Week Win Part 1

I'm still digging through my pile of packages, unfortunately not in order, so here's one from July 2016 or so. You can read about the reason for the season at Baseball Card Breakdown, and I won a prize by spreading the word. Let's see what I've been letting languish on my desk.

1996 Leaf Signature - Extended Autographs Tom Urbani
2001 Topps Archives #16 Enos Slaughter
2003 Bowman #207 Chris Duncan
2005 Upper Deck Classics #32 Enos Slaughter
2012 Panini Prizm #73 Yadier Molina
2013 Topps Archives #139 Matt Holliday
2015 Topps Archives #71 Matt Holliday
Based on the other images I see online, Tom Urbani didn't quite sign that card where he was supposed to. All of the other signatures are in that big blank space at the bottom. Perhaps he's to blame for the scourge of sticker autographs.

The two Hollidays were both Archives cards I didn't have. Of all the years of Archives, I only had his 2012 card before. In fact, all of these were new to my collection, and I've now doubled my count of Enos Slaughter cards.

There's even better stuff in part 2 of this package. And don't worry, this one's only a two-parter.

eBay Wins #85

I feel like I spun a randomizer to get these 6 cards, but they all came from one seller, for 6 whole cents.

2001 Stadium Club #22 Jeromy Burnitz
2003 Bowman #263 Derek Michaelis
2008 Bowman - Prospects #BP11 Jeff Kindel
I remember Jeromy Burnitz as one of the most-feared hitters when Milwaukee came to the NL Central, managing 132 HR over 1998-2001. Of course the other two guys never saw the majors, as happens with many Bowman prospect gambles.

1995 Topps D3 #46 Dean Palmer
I've got one more of these D3 cards, an Ozzie Smith. They don't actually show motion like similar cards from the past, but purely create a 3D effect with multiple images, which of course doesn't come through at all in a scan.

1987 Topps
#682 Jerry Reuss
#775 Joaquin Andujar
Jerry Reuss looks like an old guy on this card, but he's only 38. He started with the Cardinals for the first 3 years of his career. Technically he played in parts of 4 decades, with 1 game in 1969, plenty in the 70s and 80s, and 4 (1 start) in 1990. Joaquin Andujar went 2-0 in the 1982 World Series with the Cardinals, but 0-1 in 1985.
