In the mailbox it goes…
I have always been a big Dale Murphy fan.  In the 80’s while living in South Florida, we had no home team to cheer for.  So, I did the next best thing and tuned into WTBS every night to catch the Atlanta Braves.  The Braves were pretty bad back then, but they [...]

Set: 1986 Fleer and Donruss
Card Number: 647 and 33 respectively
Why is These Cards are Must Have?: It’s interesting that out of all the great rookies that played in 1986 and 1987, Galarraga was the least remembered.  Talk about a totally underrated player. Did you know that he once had back to back to [...]
