This is card #4 from the 1989 JJ Nissen Superstars collection.
Nissen is (was?) a New England bread company that each year (at least a few times) issued a series of "superstar" baseball cards. Get one in each loaf. (Not actually IN the bread, but that would have been fun).
My parents knew I liked baseball cards at this time actually saved the cards for me from their bread. I think the cards are super cool because my parents took the time to set them aside for me, but also because they are so super low-budget- they obviously bought the rights to the players from the player association, but not the full license from MLB, so the players don't have any team logos on them.
and look, now he is a manager for the miami marlins. a 70s porn stache there!
ReplyDeleteOMB, he is only 1 week older than my racist dump-supporting BIL!
DeleteActually, they did something really neat for a bread company.
