In between all of my Allen & Ginter mini set bracket posts, I'm trying to sneak in a few recent mail day posts as well! Today's envelope is a PWE courtesy of Matt over at The Diamond King. A few weeks ago, Matt had a giveaway where I was able to land one of the Fleer Greats of the Game Nickname cards that I needed for my set. A week or two after that, Matt sent me a second surprise envelope with another Nickname card that I needed, this time of "Super Joe" Joe Charboneau of the Indians.
Super Joe got his nickname from his outstanding first season in the big leagues (in which he won the Rookie of the Year award for the American League). I can only imagine that must have been quite cool to be a rookie in the big leagues and have fans start calling you "Super Joe" right out of the gate!
Many, many thanks to Matt for helping me inch ever so closer to finally completing all of the 2006 Fleer Greats of the Game insert sets. I've built all the sets so far other than the Nicknames set - and even that set is getting close to being completed. Should any reader happen to have any of these lying around unwanted or unloved, here's what I still need from the set:
2006 Fleer Greats of the Game Needs:Nickname Greats: AG, AT, BF, BH, BL, CF, DD, GS, KH, LA, LP, MF, MH, MR, MW, MZ, RC, RG
Thanks again to Matt! If anyone else would like to trade, be sure to check out my want list and make an offer!

Glad you liked it and good luck on the rest of the set!
ReplyDeleteI started collecting right around the same time Super Joe was making a name for himself.
