#91: Topps Derek Jeter with George Bush and Mickey Mantle
This one isn't so much about the card as it is the chase. I remember walking into work at the LCS in college to find the store much more packed than usual. I asked the owner what was going on and he explained about "the card" that got released with Bush and Mantle. Sales online were up over 100 bucks and people were ripping packs of topps like they were going out of style. I bought mine waaaay after the fact when hype cooled down. Just a cool card that brings back good ol card shop memories.

I always liked this card as well. I got one out of the first pack of 07 Topps I bought. I didn't notice the background until much later. Even to this day, the card without Bush and Mantle looks weird to me.

#90: I absolutely fell in love with 2005 Reflections when they came out. There will be several cards from that set in my count down. For now here is a nice multi color patch of a Hall of Famer.

#89: I love this card for one simple reason. My wife pulled it. She knows exactly who Griffey is and how awesome of a patch it is. She was so excited to pull it for me. I'll never forget.

Really nice, but a very difficult task to choose the 100 of the collection.

Another hit from 2005 Reflections. I think I traded for this one because it has my boy Ryne Sandberg on it. It's a nice multi color patch of two hofers
