Yesterday, I posted part 1 of a recent trade with Jack from
All Tribe Baseball. Today, we take a look at the second half of the trade package: The Barry Larkin cards!
Jack sent me seven different Larkin cards - including two that I know for sure I didn't already own (plus a third that
might be new to me). I really need a better way of keeping track of what Larkins I own (besides my slowly growing
Barry Larkin Collection on the blog).
Anyhow, since I already did a Top 10 in the previous post, let's mix things up this time. Here are my "one line thoughts" on each of the seven Larkin cards. You want more than a single line? You'll have to wait until I feature each card in my ongoing Larkin Collection!
1990 Upper Deck - Reds Checklist
The first Larkin "special" card I can remember owning as a kid.
1997 Upper Deck
This one might be new to my collection, my 1997 collection is sorely lacking.
1994 Topps Stadium Club
Is this a hop, skip, or jump?
1993 Donruss Triple Play
I love the wristband with Larkin's own mug on it, keep it classy man!
1993 Score Gold Stars:
I know this is a new card for my collection - some sort of insert that I never heard of before!
1997 Collector's Choice Stick 'Ums
I loved, loved, loved the Stick 'Ums as a kid - never got the Larkin sticker back then though.
1998 Upper Deck (giant card)
This must have been a box topper or something, it's much larger than a "normal" card.
Thanks for the trade Jack! And, as always, if anyone else would like to trade -
check out my want list and make an offer!
Always glad to help when I can! The "Jumbos", as they were called, were a mail-in redemption. Only 15 random cards were available.
