100 Days of Barry Larkin

Day 16: 1990 Baseball Card Magazine Panel. I actually never owned any of these magazines. I was a Beckett guy. I had a friend who read Tuff Stuff. But none of my collector friends had Baseball Card Magazine. I discovered the cards exploring ebay, and I think about all of the cards of my favorite players I missed out on.

Those 3 card panels are cool. I picked up one with Griffey recently.

Got back from camping yesterday and was going to post the Griffey. If you can't find a 3 card panel in your card room does that mean you might have a hoarding problem?

Will add the normal funny junk card story on how I got the Griffey. Was at a friends house and another older friend of his stopped over. Said he had a large box of very old cards that still looked like new and wanted me to look at them. He had to run home to get them and while he was gone I told my friend I would bet they are worthless junk era cards from the 80s/90s.

Sure enough when he returned with several thousand cards everything was junk era cards that looked like the little kid that originally owned them loved and played with every single one of them daily. I told him I would pay $5 for the 3 card panel with Griffey or if he gave me $5 I would take them all. Funny how those are always the cards people have when they say they have really old cards and think they are going to be rich from them. I have used the $5 thing before and usually people laugh and think I am being funny and when they realize I am serious most get mad.

Awesome Larkin stuff. I really enjoy the daily updates.

Did you get an opportunity to look for Billy Ripken FF or Randy Johnson Marlboro? Or were there too many cards?

Yes I looked for all the cool error cards but unless it was a silly rare card being that beat up they would have still been worthless.

Oh boy! Barry is my main PC. I have lots to add to the thread if you ever desire (I won't hijack your thread with my collection). But if you are ever looking to move some nice 90s stuff, I'm always looking for the hard to find stuff. !
