Clemaz · September 12, 2008 5:10AM

A few more

Nice Phils - thanks for sharing them!

It's a choice, you have to be committed to it.

billwaltonsbeard · September 12, 2008 5:13AM

I totally care!! One of the best pornstaches ever to play the game!

Ahhh...yes. The crisp photography of 1982 Fleer.

If it wasn't for the uniform, I would think it was Davey Lopes!

Great looking Scrap Iron's, though! He was one powerful and attractive man.

Facial hair for everyone!

Nice collection.

WinPitcher · September 12, 2008 6:01AM

I care, nice job, thanks for sharing.

Nice collection!

bman90278 · September 12, 2008 6:04AM

Very nice job and as a former kid growing up in the 70's, I certainly care and remember all of those Phil Garner cards. He was a solid big leaguer!

larryallen73 · September 12, 2008 7:00AM

I applaud your collection. I love collections of second tier players. I don't mean that as a slight against Mr. Garner. He's no HOFer but a scrappy ballplayer who enjoyed a long career. I collect Ron Cey, Steve Sax and a few others who are not highly collected. I enjoy it. Anybody can collect HOFers but it takes a special person to collect the others! Good job!

BunchOBull · September 12, 2008 7:03AM

From one player collector to another, very cool.

TheHun · September 12, 2008 7:20AM

I like the collection ... from the Bicentennial patch to the pinstripe Pirates ... long live cool.

cheers

neenish · September 12, 2008 7:23AM

Ahh, another great ex-Dodger (albeit for only half a season). Great collection.

stevegarveyfan · September 12, 2008 11:16AM

Wow. I LOVE seeing nice collections like this one. I collect Steve Garvey cards, and I certainly appreciate the appeal of a set like this. Looks like you have some really nice cards in your set. Post more! Post more!

Bosox1976 · September 12, 2008 11:22AM

Very cool.

Couldn't help but think of the Family Guy episode where Peter Griffin grows a mustache.

thriller13 · September 12, 2008 12:29PM

Thanx for sharing your wonderful cards of an extremely hairy man. That 82 Fleer card was a beaut!

jswieton · September 12, 2008 12:36PM

I have to admit this but I have never heard of Phil Garner. I was worn in 79 so maybe it is before my time. The mustache is pretty sweat!!

thenavarro · September 12, 2008 1:44PM

Nice cards, have you gotten a chance to meet him yet?

Mike

Clemaz · September 12, 2008 1:50PM

<< Nice cards, have you gotten a chance to meet him yet? >>

No, I have not. I would love to though. When I was a kid he rented a house in a neighborhood over from where I lived. You would be amazed at how small and plain the house was. How times have changed.

storm888 · September 12, 2008 1:52PM

NICE Collection !

gemmintrarities · September 12, 2008 2:00PM

I always liked the 78 and 80 Garners.

Clemaz · September 13, 2008 11:14PM

Thanks guys. I really did not expect as much praise as I received.

TJMAC · September 15, 2008 12:25AM

Great looking cards. It is always interesting to see the different things people collect. Thanks for sharing!!!

nam812 · September 15, 2008 12:31AM

You've garnered quite a few. Nice job.

nightcrawler · September 15, 2008 4:38AM

What they said.

Nice stuff

CDsNuts · September 15, 2008 5:12AM

I don't care.

julen23 · September 15, 2008 6:04AM

phil garner kept a spare bat & glove in his mustache no?!

chaz43 · September 15, 2008 6:11AM

i don't care....PSA 1. chaz

Stone193 · September 15, 2008 6:54AM

<< Not that anyone cares >>

I've been gone for a few days Don.

If you post it - I look at it - I enjoy everyone's collection!

It can be disappointing when ya take the time to post something - which could have interest and gets no responses - it's just the nature of the boards I guess.

Keep posting - and I'll keep thankin ya for sharing!

<< ......It can be disappointing when ya take the time to post something - which could have interest and gets no responses - it's just the nature of the boards I guess......... >>

I think it was quite the contrary in this thread as the responses were more than a few, and very complimentary.

CDsNuts · September 15, 2008 7:14AM

Do you do the manager cards too, or just him during his playing days? I was always surprised that manager cards of guys like Sparky Anderson and Tony LaRussa don't sell, even in PSA 10.

69Cubs · September 15, 2008 7:22AM

Nice cards, I still think Garner looks like Bill Buckners little brother.

Mike

I do see a resemblence!

perkdog · September 15, 2008 7:48AM

Don you got a nice collection going! You might have posted before Im not sure- but how did you become a Garner fan anyways?

Bosox1976 · September 15, 2008 8:11AM

Still giggling over "womb broom".

Clemaz · September 15, 2008 11:08AM

You guys missed the point. I posted the "not that anyone cares" on my original post. It wasn't because people were not looking at my thread, it was because I figured I was the only one on these boards who collects Phil Garner. The responses have been great and I am quite surprised by all the praise I have received. Thanks a bunch.

nightcrawler · September 15, 2008 1:26PM

I don't care

VitoCo1972 · September 15, 2008 1:37PM

<< I don't care >>

I didn't kill my wife!!!

Clemaz · September 15, 2008 1:42PM

<< but how did you become a Garner fan anyways >>

Paul, I was 12 when the Pirates won the World Series and I was a huge Pirate fan still am. I loved that team Parker,Stargell, Madlock, but Garner was tough and griity which made him fun to watch

I was generalizing about what can happen and wasn't even sure what the reference was about.

I was trying to be supportive.

I can read - I saw the positive stuff - I was only giving some thought on threads that don't get the support or where "no one cares."

<< I didn't kill my wife!!! >>

Sometimes that's OK

Clemaz · September 24, 2009 12:31AM

These are cards I found on ebay and from members here on the board.

Clemaz · September 24, 2009 12:36AM

Now thrse cards I had graded myself. As you can see I need to get better at figuring out what cards would receive a 9 or 10 grade by Psa.

BPorter26 · September 24, 2009 1:16AM

Sweet looking Garners.

Bkritz · September 24, 2009 1:18AM

Nice Mothers Cookies Garner! Where in the world did you get it? What a great seller that must have been! Oh, yeah, it was me!
