Are you saying the Playaz are bad meat, Mr. Advertisement? Phil? What's the pull date on this blog?

Excellent. Where can I get all five?

Only from a serious collector, I would imagine. I believe only 3 cards were released of each Playa, to maintain our uniqueness.

I'll take two wax packs, please.

MAD props for using the name Tackleberry.

You KNOW I had a full set of Blue Jays cards from the early 90s. What year was the Guvna card issued?

Did Tac ever hit 'le homerun' during his days in Montreal?

Love the old Topps cards. So simple yet so cool.

It is Tac's full name. As you might suspect, Tac has anger management issues.

I can't recall exactly, but I think the Blue Jays is circa 85,86 (87?)?

I hear they are worth tons.

Blue Jays circa 85, 86, 87? We're talking the Dave Stieb era then.

1986. And yes, Captain you are correct. I think Bobby Cox transported all his players from the Blue Jays over to the Braves, as Blue Jay greats such as Doyle Alexander, Jim Acker, and Mickey Mahler also pitched for them. As well as a young first baseman named Fred McGriff who was traded to Atlanta when we won our one and only world championship.

Is some of that poisonous gum included?

Mini-whites are included.

I believe I finished with 20 wins that year. Most were erased from the books, however, due to my ties with Pete Rose and Emmanuel Lewis.

The Guvna looks a lot like Rollie Fingers crossed with Bert "Be Home" Blyleven. What gives??

85 in Toronto? That was Jeff Burroughs' swan song I think. Too bad Cox couldn't bring him back to Atlanta. Those were the days!

My favorite Brave growing up. Next to Roland Office, of course.
