I really hope they do a Legends hair relic so I can get a Rollie Fingers and a Mad Hungarian (Hrabosky) as well as a Titus.

You should legit, be offered a design job at one of the bigger card companies.

Thanks guys, for all of the comments - Remember that Canseco game used batting practice jersey I got that had pills in the pocket? Well, I ground one up and made an actual card.



Boy, do I feel like a druggie!




Here it is:

Thanks.



And why would I not be surprised me if someone actually did a set like this?

Maybe because the steps have already been made in this direction... at least with the hair. In 2008 they did hair.

Mouschi,

Did you really buy a game used jersey with a pill in the pocket? I suspect not, but it is hard to tell with all of the other content in this thread. Nice stuff.

Yup, that is 100% true! I bought a batting practice jersey, and he had what are probably ibuprofin (horse sized) pills. http://tanmanbaseballfan.com/2015/03...o-pc-some.html - I did grind one down and put into a card, yes Apparently steroids users use these to thin their blood so steroids can take affect quicker or something like that. So while it wasn't 'roids ... it was the next best thing

When I went to his house and showed him the jersey, I had him sign it. I showed him a picture of him wearing it for provenance sake, and later he showed me some video clips. One of which was an interview that he did while wearing the batting practice jersey I had him sign. He said "Yes, that's definitely the same jersey."
