The card I wasn't expecting was a card for Jim Vatcher.<br /><br />The checklist in the old Standard Catalog lists the complete set at 36 cards and doesn't list Vatcher.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-59020306540972783372014-09-29T19:23:08.253-04:002014-09-29T19:23:08.253-04:00That's a great story about Dutch...

I collect him because he was pretty much the first guy I ever saw in the minors to establish himself in the majors, but it's good to know he's such a nice guy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-66898204607512850792014-09-29T11:59:00.330-04:002014-09-29T11:59:00.330-04:00Sounds like a successful show!

I missed it because of conflicts with kids' soccer games and a visit to see my parents, but there is another one in December--plus I don't think I needed any of the autographs at the show, unlike one coming up in October where I need a bunch of them.<br /><br />Dutch looks good. I saw him in April or so and he looked good then too. Fingers crossed he will someday be asking Doug for his autograph! He's just a nice guy, and your story is further evidence of it.<br /><br />My son is a year younger than yours, and we went to the spring Philly Show, where we had essentially the same experience. He likes Buster Posey, and every time we stopped at a stand and he looked at cards, a dealer seemed to be handing him either a Buster Posey card or some Phillies item. There are a lot of good folks there! I definitely have to get there with him in December.<br /><br />How many cards are in your 1990 team set? I have 36 in mine. I had never heard that story before about being available in packs of 4 or 5 cards per series, but it sounds a little suspect to me. I have no recollection of how I got my set, but I don't remember it being any different than in other years. Maybe he is right and I also picked it up at a show like you did from someone else who had assembled it that way. That would it explain why it took you this long to find it for sale.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-3036610330207630932014-09-29T10:05:53.892-04:002014-09-29T10:05:53.892-04:00Congrats to your son on finishing off the 2014 Ope...Congrats to your son on finishing off the 2014 Opening Day Set! dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633750324558738343noreply@blogger.com
