Today is the final Monday of the spring semester for me. This week is final exam week - and I don't give my finals until the end of the week which means I got to stay home today! No better way to celebrate the end of the semester than by opening up more baseball cards, am I right?!
The 1992 Upper Deck box has been a fun rip though the amount of duplicates (both within the box and within individual packs) is a bit worrisome for someone who is hoping to collect the full set. Also worrisome is the fact that I have yet to find a card numbered 1 - 49 in the box. I can't possibly explain why that is!
Let's see what happens with the next three packs.
Pack 10:
I like this Darren Lewis card quite a bit, which is a good thing I guess since Pack 10 had two copies of the card in it.
Pack 11:
I don't think I actually knew that Dante Bichette was a Brewer at some point in his career. I have no recollection of his time in Milwaukee!
Pack 12:
Pack 12 had another one of the Ted Williams Baseball Heroes cards which is cool I guess, but the real star of the pack has to be this Kirk Gibson (as a Royal?!) shattering his bat.
Collation issues aside, I'm enjoying my journey through the box of 1992 Upper Deck. I will promise, however, to post things besides '92 Upper Deck on the blog over the next week or so!

Any idea which ballpark Darren Lewis is in? I wonder if that's Muni Stadium in San Jose.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I have no recollection of Bichette until he was a Rookie.
