One Thing Leads to Another

     This is post #100 for Don Cardwell. I didn't think I would make it this far, but here we are. 

    I found this card yesterday in one of my boxes:

    To start, I really like the 'Future Stars' design on the front of this card. I kind of like the 1988 Topps set (not sure how popular it is though). However, I do wish they did something a little bit better with the player names, which kind of just linger on the bottom right side of the card. And I'm still looking for Elster's position.

    Anyway, seeing this card reminded me of a card store pickup from however long ago. Now, this pickup wasn't from my local card shop. Alas, this particular store raised their prices and started focusing on Pokemon cards and the like, which isn't really my thing.

    Seeing the Jeff Huson autographed photo again reminded me of his 1990 Fleer card (because I really like his card from that year).

    I'm not a huge fan of 1990 Fleer as a whole, but I do like this card. Though I don't particularly like the set, I found it almost complete for $3, so picked it up. I forgot how many cards were missing from it, but I've added a few in there since.

    And while putting the autographed photos away, I saw the autographed cards from when I went to the Rangers Fan Fest in 2023.

    That was the first Fan Fest I've ever been to. It was definitely a fun experience, though lines were long. My family and I waited over an hour to get Jon Gray's autograph. I wonder how long folks waited for Corey Seager and Pudge Rodriguez. Yikes.

    Well, I thought this ended up being an interesting 20 or so minutes of my life. I'm glad I found those autographs of Elster, Vosberg and Huson again though, because I had forgotten about them. Thank you, 1988 Topps Kevin Elster.

    Thank you for sticking with me for 100 posts. Have a great end to your week, thank you for reading, and happy collecting!

    P.S. Jackson Merrill won the Silver Slugger for NL centerfielders. Let's go!
