My pleasure. Here are your cards from the break ... Happy to say, you've got some Biggio cards coming your way
Astros

Mariners ... Nice bunch of Randy Johnson cards, and you may have cornered the market on Harold Reynolds cards

I'll try to highlight the other breaks when I swing by the office tomorrow.
I will get some small boxes and get a better idea of the exact shipping tomorrow.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

The girls are out scrounging for goodies, as we speak. I'm on candy duty at the house. It's a very 'mild' Halloween this year. Not too many people showed up here or at the office...
Sorry to hear about the heart condition that prevents you eating chocolate, but chocolates overrated, IMO! Baseball cards are better treats .... Here are yours from the break!

I'll probably get them out in a few more days ... I had some car trouble today and couldn't do much.
Remember how phenomenal Todd Van Poppel was predicted to be??? What ever happened to TVP? Injury?

Man, there is some nostalgia in this break, Doc.
Is it just me or does it look like Topps loaded up some of the Rockies and Marlins prospects and took them to Glamour Shots to get their pictures taken? They kind of have that senior picture feel to them.
The three Russians on the one card is pretty cool though.
Hands down, the Rich Ireland in the Canadian tuxedo is the best of the bunch.

LOL -'Glamour Shots' -Ha!
I don't remember the timing of it, nor was I collecting at the time .... But 2 things come to mind
1) The ratio of Marlins & Rockies to the other cards in Series 2 was like 1:2 a huge stack compared to the rest of the teams
2) Topps must have been in quite the rush to get these Rockies and Marlins card photographed and printed ... They took pictures of EVERYONE!!!
Here are your cards ... You struck Chili Davis gold!

Chili Davis Gold! In 1993, my mom would always buy me a pack of 93 Topps at the local gas station whenever she stopped. Can't believe how long ago that was. I was only 10, but it feels like yesterday.
