More stuff to show off. I bought another lot off of Ebay, probably the last one I will need to buy. It provided a number of cards, then I picked up a few random singles that looked like necessities.
The Gold Crown Die Cut and the In the Cage Die Cut are two of the reasons that I loved Pacific in the 1990's. They had a ton of interesting die cut cards. The In the Cage has a number of holes where the fencing is. It is just a real cool-looking card. I have a Nomar Garciaparra in my Red Sox collection that I spent a little money on, this one cost a couple of bucks. By far one of my favorite buys in the collection.
The Sportflics card is a little disappointing because Alomar has only a headshot, which you can kind of see through Gary Sheffield. I am not sure what to think of the drawn card, other than that it is a 9 year old who drew it. I like the SP Authentic card. I really don't have a lot of serial-numbered cards in my Alomar collection. The Showdown is another Rangers card, that's probably all of the Rangers Alomar cards that exist now. And I now have two of the 90 different Tek variations. Anyone have any others? I would love to get all 90.
Alomar has a number of closeup cards of his face wearing the catcher's mask for some reason. This is a Pre-Production Sample card.
Finally, the Starting Lineup card and figure also came with this coin:
I don't make these part of the card collection, but it is an interesting additional piece.
