Guest star card. Roberto Alomar (George Brett)
2 Hall of Famers. They make the beginnings of a pretty good infield.
Bonus checklist card with Devon White.

Swing sequences. George Brett and Andre Dawson.
I have these 4 binders from back in the day that hold my favorite players. I always tried to put one of these together for each hitter, just because I'm a geek like that.

Swing and a miss. Some cards that don't show the best form.
John Russell can't quite reach that one.
This helps explain why Felix Jose never quite fulfilled his potential.
And Dave Bergman makes another out.
Dave Anderson showing again why he was best known for defense.
Dave Parker swings and misses. Fortunately, he spots Ron Robinson stealing his cheeseburger. They had words later.
Well, at least Darren Reed makes a bit of contact.
Gotta give George Brett the benefit of the doubt. Looks like he held up in time.
Eddie Taubensee misses by a country mile. What was that, a knuckleball? Did the Padres have a knuckleballer in 1997? The catcher is John Flaherty.
You may notice a number of these cards are from the 1991 Score set. This is my take on what a regular meeting would have been between a Score buyer and a photographer.
Photog: I brought all my best shots. Lots of great action shots, balls hitting bats, great stuff like that.
Score: Oh nice....so these are the expensive shots, right?
Photog: Yes.
Score: Well see, we're pretty low on budget right now. Do you have anything else? You know, like where the players are missing the ball, making errors, stuff like that?

Photog: Yep, I have lots of those. You can have them cheap. The deal is that you leave my name out of it, alright? I don't want people thinking that's the best I can do.
Score: DEAL! We don't really care anyways, people buy this stuff no matter what we put on it. Some never even look at it, they stick it away as an investment. If they knew how much of this crap we made....

Career stats card. George Brett.
1994 Donruss wasn't the best set out there, but they did have a few nice cards, this obviously being one of them. I love the way George is churning around 3rd.

1991 Score Cooperstown Card 7 card set.
This little bonus set was included only in the factory sets, so a few people may never have seen them.
4/7 are in the HOF, and Larkin and Griffey Jr will almost certainly make it, so that leaves only Will Clark.
Will dropped off the ballot after his first season when he only received 4.4% of the vote. Despite a great career, he probably won't get a lot of love from the veteran's committee either. He retired when he was 36 and still very productive. Had he stuck around for 3-4 more productive seasons, he may well have found a home in the hall.
