Recently (as in, this month), I received a surprise mailing from Rod over at Padrographs. Rod is one of my longtime trade partners, and he always sends me interesting stuff! For this mailing, he hit a couple of my collecting interests, beginning with Allen & Ginter minis:
I'm nearly done with the 2025 A&G mini insert sets. In fact, my State Birds set is now down to needing only two more cards!
In addition to the Ginter goodies, Rod also sent me a pair of Barry Larkin cards:
I'm always happy to add more Larkin cards to my collection!
And finally, this Eric Davis:
This card celebrates the 1989 Home Run Derby. Eric Davis won this particular event (in a tie with the Rangers' Ruben Sierra). Interestingly enough, he only hit three home runs in the runs, but that was enough to be the best among the National League hitters. After Davis' victory in 1989, a Cincinnati Red wouldn't win the Home Run Derby again until 2015 when Todd Frazier won the event in the Reds' home ballpark!
Many thanks to Rod for the surprise mailer (and you should be getting a return mailer within a couple of days). It's always fun to get packages in the mail!
