Humungous Vida Blue baseball card

Card number 59 of 60, Vida Blue San Francisco Giants. I thought Vida Blue was about the coolest guy ever. Great pitcher.

1988 Topps Big Cards #57 Kevin Mitchell

Here's another Topps Big Card. I really like the graphics on the back. This is another set where Topps didn't even try to include all the players, just the "stars" and the players who might soon become stars.

I always liked Kevin Mitchell as a player, and thinking back on his career I remembered a barehanded catch he made in the outfield. I googled him, and that catch is one of the things specifically mentioned in his Wikipedia!

1988 Topps Big Cards #35 Candy Maldonado

I like this particular set of baseball cards because of the little cartoons on the back. They were colorful and fun. The cards are called "big" because they were slightly larger than normal sized baseball cards.
