1989 Score #655 - Jose Canseco (1988 Highlight)

Jose Canseco had a bunch of 40-40 cards come out in 1989 but this one always stood out to me. The front of the card was pretty cool but what got me was the pic on the back. Is that the sloppiest looking slide into second you've ever seen or what 😂  Steroids or not, I tip my hat. People got their money's worth whenever they got to see him play and he'll always be my childhood fav. 

1989 Score #447 - Joel Skinner

This one is kind of an odd-ball choice for me. I was never a big Yankee fan and had it not been for Dave Parker sliding in and under the tag, this Joel Skinner card would be meaningless. I get a kick out of stars making cameo appearances on cards of common players. A little more to the right and this could have been a kick-ass "Cobra" card!

1989 Score #175 - Wade Boggs

Boggs was a guy I got to see alot of growing up. I was an A's fan back then so I got a good dose of Red Sox baseball whenever they'd matchup in the playoffs. I always liked his crouch at the plate and the way he'd always look pitches back into the catchers glove. This card captures both of those things beautifully. 

The back of the card shows the standard player mugshot as well as the players jersey number. Something other cards never made us hip to. 

1989 Score #565 - Paul Molitor

I bought alot of 89 Score as a kid. Those little plastic bag-like packs they came in were fun to rip into. I damn near had an entire set If my memory serves me right, but I can't remember ever having this card. Paul Molitor is one of those players I wish I could have seen more of. I think that's why I enjoy his cards so much. Judging by  his numbers , the guy was solid! This is a great looking card. The borders match the Brewers uniform color nicely and the photo captures a locked- in Molitor probably roping a double into left-center. 

Penny Sleevin' Some Score

There's nothing like spending a quiet Tuesday night sleeving cards and listening to 80s soft rock. It's a great alternative to watching crappy primetime television and mindless movie streaming. I scored this complete set of 1989 Score for a measely 5 bucks on eBay, shipped! It's been tucked away underneath my bed for a couple of months now so I figured I'd crack the box open and throw a few of my favorite cards from the set into toploaders. Throughout these next couple of weeks I'll be showcasing those cards.
