that's nice - i'm kind of a bryn smith fan.  i met his dad when i was in high school is how that came about.

this 2012 topps update ra dickey card is the newest card from the repack
nice shot of the knuckle grip, but why isn't he wearing number 49 like a good knuckler?

as always, there were some 1987 topps cards included, such as this tony gwynn all-star subset card
and there was also some 1988 fleer, including this tim wallach card
the card design works well with the expos' unis, although the blues don't quite match.  that card will be heading to new mexico at some point.

there was actually a 1989 fleer card that i am going to keep in the repack - this checklist card that features the dodgers and red sox
there are your defending world champions, from dave anderson to tracy woodson.  i don't know about you other set collectors, but i always included the fleer checklists with my team sets, probably because in 1983 and 1984 (and possibly other years) they featured a photo of the manager on them.

here's a 1990 topps willie stargell glossy all-star card
i would have preferred another auto card of a different matt from that same set, but repack purchasers can't be choosers.  not in that way, anyway.

yes, 4-home runs in a game hitting, leaving game 1 of the 1988 world series early-ing (i didn't leave early!), gary sheffield frustrating shawn green.  i contend that it is not.  the back of his card boasts the right stats, but this guy bats righty.
shawn green was a lefty, just as it says on the back of the card.  so, i did a little digging.  the player pictured is definitely from the 1993 knoxville smokies - the team for which green played in 1993 after his 1992 season in aa.  according to baseball reference, the team was known as the knoxville blue jays in 1992, so there wouldn't have been any reason for the big 's' on the uniforms if this were a photo from 1992.

i'm pretty sure it's alex gonzalez.  look at his 1992 bowman card (which i do not own, but am willing to break one of my blog rules to allow you to make the comparison without clicking any links)
looks like the same guy.  i have a pretty good sized pc of shawn green, given that i lived in orange county during his high school phenom years and heard a lot about him.  i met his dad once in an lcs shortly before 1992 topps was released - he said that shawn would have a card in the set, but wasn't sure if it was a solo card (it was) or a multi-player rookie card.  anyway, i didn't have that classic card until i received it in a trade from nick at dime boxes.  he sent a bunch of cool cards, some of which i will show over the next week or so.

in the meantime, i'll try to figure out what to do with my shawn green/alex gonzalez card.
