Score One for the Collections

I mentioned before I received a box from CrazieJoe and it had a lot of 1990 Score. I am now 380 cards into the collection of that set now with what I got.. 
Because of the number, I just scanned a few highlights. 


We have Hall of Famers Cal Ripken and Alan Trammell and the Personal Hero of Matt, Bob Walk..
It's still odd to say Hall of Fame and Alan Trammell..  


Dennis Martinez as an Expo is always welcome. 
Orel Hershiser and Eddie Murray as well. 


Ryne Sandberg!
The early 1990s might have been confusing for some people in the Twin Cities. Playing Short for the Twins is Greg Gagne. Wrestling for the Minneapolis based AWA: Greg Gagne. 
Twins Gagne's name was pronounced "GAG-ne" while AWA's Gagne was more "Gan-yay"

Mark Gubicza rounds out this trio.. I don't know why, but I've always just liked his cards. I don't know if I'd want to collect him though.. 


Bert Blyleven shows up.. Another Hall of Famer.. 
Bill Doran is shown simply because I love those Astros uniforms. 
Darryl Strawberry is a favourite of Peter at Baseball Every Night. 


Charlie Hough would become known as a guy who hit less than his age when he played for the Marlins in 1993. He was 45 and hit .032. 
Nolan Ryan shows here as well.. 
Mitch Williams is here only because I wanted to show him in a uniform other than a Phillies one. 


Randy Johnson and Gary Carter are former Expos here.. Benito Santiago is a future former Jay. 


Steve Wilson ups the Canadian content.
Dave Dravecky's card is interesting. He's in a sling on the front. 


This is the back. It summarizes his journey in 1989. 
1989 was his final season. From pictures I've seen online, it looks like he's lost his left arm.



The last few are rookie cards.. Moises Alou as a Pirate. Dean Palmer.. Bernie Williams.. Frank Thomas.. 
Rickey Henderson is part of the Dream Team subset.. 

It's an interesting set, I think.. Almost prefer it to the 900 card monstrosity that followed it..

  1. Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks about the Greg Gagne/Greg Gagne situation.

    1. I'm sure we're not alone.. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if it got a bunch of blank looks.. lol

  2. I like the 1990 Score design. 1990 Leaf is my personal favorite, but I'd put Score right below it with Upper Deck.

    BASED ON YOUR DAVE DRAVECKY MENTION ABOVE ( From pictures I've seen online, it looks like he's lost his left arm. ) IT GREATLY APPEARED YOU DID NOT KNOW HE HAD TO HAVE HIS LEFT ARM AND SHOULDER REMOVED DUE TO ALL THE PROBLEMS HE ENDURED WITH CANCER CAUSING THOSE BROKEN ARMS ...
