I couldn't imagine getting rid of Orioles players' cards just because they moved on. It would be like saying history is forgotten. If the past is dismissed, the present becomes kind of worthless too.Field of Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627747756866557026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-88072121765714757222010-12-02T16:43:58.184-05:002010-12-02T16:43:58.184-05:00I'm surprised that the Andruw Jones Dodgers ca...I'm surprised that the Andruw Jones Dodgers cards aren't just a smoldering mass of charred card stock.

(A Chris Chambliss Indians card was one that everyone seemed to covet). But I guess being three and a half hours from the closest MLB city meant we weren't all tied to the same team.<br /><br />I also forgot how AWESOME that '09 Juan Pierre was. The only one cooler was the one that Dinged Corners had in this post: http://www.dingedcorners.com/2009/07/bartleby-and-black-borders-topps-2009.html<br /><br />I also forgot how cool that Authentix set was.Eggrockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543338186244288630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-60885137718377758472010-12-02T07:46:37.190-05:002010-12-02T07:46:37.190-05:00OK, you got me off my butt!

I certainly don't want to collect certain players after they leave (AROD, Texeira), but I still need their Rangers cards to fill out my Rangers collection.Play at the Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231140141558021698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-83550764255863011012010-12-02T00:15:08.974-05:002010-12-02T00:15:08.974-05:00I am nostalgic about the Andruw Jones days of Atla...I am nostalgic about the Andruw Jones days of Atlanta, however, if I were you I probably would shred all of them, lol.
