I'm still going through all those cards I bought a few weeks ago, and every once in a while I see a card and think it's worthy of a blog post. I put a few of those together here.
G'day, mate!
The Charleston Rainbows photographer got creative. For a team named "Rainbows" they had pretty bland uniforms.
There were two cards from the SSPC Baseball Immortals set, one of a 1930s businessman at his desk, one of a 1970s businessman at a resort.
This 1996 Stadium Club parallel is really shiny and high-tech looking. With such a modern technological marvel of football card, Stadium Club gave it a name synonymous with some of the leading technology of the time - Dot Matrix. (Speaking of Dot Matrix, who else is excited that they're making a Spaceballs 2?)
Finally, this card. Just read the back and see if your jaw drops like I did.
Hard to believe that was considered "outside the norm". I looked it up and it really was considered groundbreaking at the time, though like Wyche says he wasn't the first. Easy to forget that the late '80s were only about 20 years past the end of legal segregation, and there were still a lot of vestiges of it around.
Even with a Brave in the post, I'd have to say the FB Matrix is the best card here.
ReplyDeleteI'm with John... that Dot Matrix parallels is awesome. As for Spaceballs... I heard the sequel was coming out, but I can't say I was super excited. Maybe I need to go back and give the original movie another chance.
