Singles Only

Forgive my lack of posts as of late.Running two blogs Isn't hard to do ,but when you love both of them equally, It's hard to prioritize between the two.Also,I've got some catching up to do as far baseball cards go.2015 Topps has been getting all of my attention lately as It Is the easiest product to get my hands on at the moment and the new Heritage just doesn't tickle my fancy.I'm not sure If I want to delve into the bottomless pit that Is Bowman with the endless amount of Prospects and Draft Picks,but the cards look damn good.Anyways,I gotta thank Drew over at  http://drewsbbcards.blogspot.com/ for the kind stack of  Tampa Bay Rays cards he so willingly passed on to me after I contacted him about my interest In them.I haven't been able to post about It but trust they are much appreciated!That was an extremely kind act and at some point I will have to pay It back.I forgot to jot down the return address,so Drew If you're  reading this,drop me an E-Mail with that ;) Below are recent singles that I've picked up via online card shops/Ebay In an attempt to add some contemporary flavor to my collection of rookies and prospects. 

Recent Discovery!

Rummaging through my stash of collectibles recently,I stumbled across a set that I totally forgot I had.This 1989 Fleer Update set was sent to me In a trade package from fellow toy blogger Jason Vorhees  My 2nd Toy Blog .I was surprised to find It In the package seeing as how the trade was toy related,however,Jason knew that I was a card collector and thought I would dig the set.He was right :)

The 1989 Fleer design wasn't the nicest,but  20 some odd years later and they really are a sight for sore eyes.The player and rookie selection for this set pretty much mirrored the 1989 Topps Traded set with the exception of Griffey,Jr,who's first Fleer card was issued In the standard 1989 Fleer set.Here's a rundown of  the stars featured in the set starting with Nolan Ryan's 5000 K's!

What happened to Jerome Walton?!Wait let me guess-injuries?Aside from one-hit wonder Walton,1988-89 produced some solid little players including Robin Ventura ,Greg Vaughn and Todd Ziele.None would go on to become dominant forces,save for Randy Johnson, but all were borderline solid.
