Specs

 I've worn glasses since the 3rd Grade.  Here are a few cards with different types of glasses.


Ryne Duran was noted for his fastball and wildness.  His glasses helped his reputation.

Non Sport Cards

 I have a binder full of Non Sport Cards that I collect because they remind me of my earlier years.   

I don't collect cards to make sets.(exception: Stadium baseball)  Usually if I can get one card that has a 

story, I'm happy.



Still not sure what this card is


Go Mario


Poster Girl


Diana Rigg from the Avengers(before the newer Avengers)


A tv show I watched, The Rat Patrol


A Sports Illustrated card


I have watched the Goonies a lot of times


There are a lot of fantasy cards


Bond, James Bond


I liked the original version


Another Sports Illustrated card

No theme, just some different cards.

 I keep a pile of different cards on my desk with unique twists on the game.  I try to accumulate a

few with the same theme, but sometimes there are only a few or one of a kind.



I'm always on the lookout for a brand of card I've never seen


This theme is probably on a few cards, but here are two I have




Doesn't look like bubble gum to me



Supply your own caption for this card!


Ron Howard was actually a pretty good athlete



Could this be the bird Randy Johnson hit?



Give me just one at bat.



That tiger looks hungry

COMC delivery and custom cards from Gregory

 I received my shipment of cards from COMC and had forgotten about my wide assortment of categories.

I'll start off with my custom cards from Gregory of Nine Pockets.



I actually watched Clint in Rawhide in the 60's.  I think Clint could've
been in a " Major League" movie.


This card hits two of my mini collections.  Back hats and players on the phone.





A food issue I didn't have.








more food cards




The last two cards were added to my oddball collection.

Bubble Stars

 As I keep expanding my bubble collection, sports other than baseball are a good source.

Of the more than 1100 different bubble cards, my basketball portion  is rising.  Here are some of my 

HOF'ers.





Although most bubble cards are from the 90's, LeBRON has a couple of newer ones.


Michael was shown in photos blowing a bubble, but this is the first card I have.


Rookie card and bubble


I have quite a few larger cards, magazines covers, etc. with bubbles


The hardest cards to get are numbered, this Eugenio is 4/5

Bats

 Crossover.   There have been many players that crossed over to play a different sport.  Here I'll show a 

few that might have aspirations but never fulfilled them.  A few that did and were more well known.

Also a couple of cards that are updates to earlier mini collection themes.



Can you name this HOF'er?
