The Cardinals picked up games on Pittsburgh and Cincinnati again tonight as they have feasted on weaker opponents (Marlins, Astros) lately. Meanwhile, we soldier on and check out the next Cardinals whose cards I'm trying to pawn off on people. The list follows at the end of the post.
Lou Brock's playing days were before my time, but he's been a fixture in the Cardinals organization for as long as I can remember. The team has been fortunate to keep so many players around, either in a sort of "ambassador" capacity or something more formal.
This is one of the rack pack "holofoil" parallels of this insert from this year's Series 1. I also have an extra of the regular insert.
This card may be off center, but it's not as off center as my scanner would have you believe. There's nothing that's going to help that helmet, though.
Action Packed made a run at the still-to-be-developed high end football market back in the day, but it seemed to go over about as well as Sportflics did in baseball. For some reason I completely missed out on their baseball products, which (likely due to licensing issues) seemed to be limited to retired players.
