I stopped buying and subbing modern last spring, but I had a relapse when Langes Sports stumbled upon some boxes of 1990 Donruss Test issues.
I picked up a dozen Aqueous Test, and three Blue/White Test. It was nice to be excited something modern again!





The Blue/White Swift/Sax shown next the the Sax regular issue.

Wow! Never seen the white one before. I think that set would've looked tremendous in white...

I never really thought of it like that David, but you're right. It would have looked great in white!

There were also some Red/Red Test cards that sold. I didn't buy any of those.

Here is a link to a site with some good info on all 3 issues.

Been collecting Seattle Mariner team issued postcards for a while so I was happy to find this autographed Dave Niehaus postcard from the 1983 season. First autograph one that I have seen, just wished it was not personalized but for the price I could not pass it up.

I am hoping in 2013 to pick up the Bill Mazeroski postcard from 1980. If anyone has any of these postcards (signed or unsigned) please send me a PM, several more players that I need to track down.
