Well you might as well begin your laughing now, but to me this is absolute gold!!!

I was on ebay last night looking at some reprints then wondered onto Mickey Mantle Reprints and noticed that 1 comes out of Bowman 89, which I happen to have a box of. Anyways as soon as I got home from my football game(we won 3-1) i threw my bag down and grabbed two packs and out the 1st pack popped mr Mickey Mantle, I was soo excited stoked and happy, my face was beaming from ear to ear, I decided for the fun of it to rip 1 more pack and found Mr Willie Mays and then a 3rd cause I was doing so well I got Jackie Robinson 1950 reprint(I understand now that there is a reprint in every pack image, so my 1st mantle mays and robinson. Anyways i went thru the individual cards found mr Mark (only cause his pic was on the box) and then Ryan and I dont know if the 3rd guy is any good Mike Maddux, i think I heard the name... Anyways in and earlier pack I got the Ted Williams reprint (with the cut auto) pretty cool, anyways here are the pics.


I want to know do you think I should cut them out? I have a guillotine(i think thats how u spell it) at work and it would cut pretty straight...

    I thought you were a goof until my 12 yer old reminded me that soccer is also called football outside of the USAimage

    Anyways - great Bowman memories!

    Edit - spelling

    That Mantle reprint is why I bought the real thing, 20+ years later.

    The Mantle and Mays Rookies are two of my favorite cards.

    I am glad to see you enjoying those cards. Junk wax is crap to some but it is still lots of fun for many of us. Especially those that are true collectors at heart.

    It is great to see this kind of enthusiasm. It makes me want to order some cheap wax too.

    I opened a mess of that stuff in '89 - 90 - glad you're having a good time!

    Having fun in the hobby is not predicated on a price guide IMO.

    Thanx for sharing.

    i remember fighting with my brother because he got a Mays reprint and a Griffey RC in the same pack, you realize Mike Maddux is not Greg Maddux thought right?...he's a super nice guy but along the ranks of the other players you posted.
