Who's Choice? The Collector's Choice.

After a couple days away from my box, I'm ready to dig back into my 1998 Series 2 box of Collector's Choice.  Today, it's time to start the middle third of the 36-pack box beginning with pack #13.

Pack 13:
394.  Todd Hollandsworth


Is this a posed shot or one taken during a game or practice?  I can't say for sure but I've tried to look into the reflection on Todd's glasses for clues.  I don't see any fans in the stands so I'm guessing this one is a posed shot but better sleuths than me might be able to uncover more clues and arrive at a more definitive answer.

Pack 14:
352.  Omar Vizquel


This pack had a Tino Martinez You Crash the Game insert but I chose to scan Vizquel's base card instead.  That Indians hat the fan is holding screams the 1990s so loudly that I can hear it from here in the 2020s.

Pack 15:
StarQuest (Double):  SQ27. Jaret Wright


The StarQuest insert set was tiered in Series 2 with each card having four versions (Single, Double, Triple, or Home Run).  The Double cards are seeded 1:21 so there's a chance I could end up with two such parallels in my box.

Pack 16:
Mini Bobbing Head:  17.  Mike Piazza


Definitely happy to see another Mini Bobbing Head show up (particularly because it's one that I didn't previously own).  I do think I'll probably try to build this set to go along with the base set - it's such a novel idea and thus appealing to me as a collector!

That does it for this batch of packs - definitely a strong showing from this bunch!  I'll have even more from the Collector's Choice box in future days, but for now I have another stack of cards to go sort.

  2. I've always liked the cards of players signing autographs. That Indians hat is cool too.

  3. It kind of looks like an uncut sheet of cards being handed to Omar (behind the hat). If so... I wonder if it's a non-Upper Deck sheet.
