Acquired: Found it in my old collection
Price: Free!
It's entirely possible that every single time I do one of these five random card posts with baseball cards it will include a Junk Wax-era Jose Cansceo card.
Card #2: 1990 Upper Deck #667 -- Chuck Finley
Acquired: From a box of 1990 Upper Deck bought at a flea market
Price: $5 (for the box)
I'm sure there must be some around, but I've never seen another card that depicts a pitcher being charged by a batter. My favorite part of this card is that it appears to capture that exact second that contact happens. I've Google'd around a bit, but I can't seem to find any details about this particular fight. Looks like Finley's being charged by a White Sox batter though.
Card #3: 2008 Topps Stadium Club #5 -- Russell Martin (First Day Issue parallel, #'d to 599)
Acquired: COMC
Price: 89 cents
I like Russell Martin, given that he's Canadian and he's now a Blue Jay. And I like Stadium Club cards from just about any year. So that's how this one ended up in my COMC cart.
Card #4: 1994 Score #102 -- Orel Hersheiser (Gold rush parallel)
Acquired: Found it in my old collection
Price: Free!
I am, and always will be, a sucker for Score's gold parallels.
Card #5: 1983 Topps #230
Acquired: Zistle trade
Price: Free(ish)
A late-career card of the top Canadian baseball player of all-time.
