1995 Collector's Choice SE #7

This is one of my favorite cards.  I like the posed/candid photo and he has a good smile but what I really like is his hat.  He wrote, "Hawk, Top Dawg" on the underside of the bill.  I think it's pretty cool to show how a player has customized their equipment.


A nice little story of his Minor's career so far and some combined stats round out the back.

1995 Bowman's Best Refractor #53

Nearly identical card as yesterday but this one has a rainbow sheen to it.


It also says Refractor on the back to the left of the card number.

1995 Bowman's Best #53

Chrome cards are some of my favorites and this one is a good one.  It has a nice action photo with the team logo in the background with the vertical lines behind that.  I like how that have just enough of the field in the middle to offset all of the silver on the front.


On the back they have a different photo potentially taken just before the one on the front.  Super Skills is a feature that you don't usually see on the back of a card now days.

1995 Bowman Gold #256

This is the Gold parallel version of yesterdays Bowman card.  The same loosey-goosey goodness in a golden version.


Kind of hard to tell in my poor photo but I swear it is gold.  Not real gold though.  Just golden in color.

1995 Bowman #256

I like the shiny and sparkly cards and this one is in my list of favorites.  It seems like such a random photo too, like he is looking for someone who wants to play catch.


Under skills they list his loosey-goosey body and arm as the first key point.  I haven't seen that term on too many baseball cards.

1995 Split Second Arizona Fall League

This is a pretty neat card in my opinion, it’s cool to see the AFL represented in a card set.  Pretty decent picture and design with the mountains along the bottom.


Another mountain scene on the back along with some stats.  When I first found this card I had thought that it was card number 36, but they also have No. 36 listed on the front next to the position so I am guessing that was his jersey number.  I still list this card as number 36 in my master list even if that is his jersey number.
