New Will Clark Items

Hey guys.

I've been pretty quiet lately. Got married and haven't had much luck picking up many Will Clark items in the last few months.

I know I posted this before, but I thought I'd do so again because it's truly unique and something I really love. Anyway, my wife invited Will to our wedding. Although he did not attend, he did return the response card with his own 1988 Topps card which he personalized for us. I really like that he wrote his name on the response card, as opposed to signing an autograph. The difference may not be dramatic, but it's obvious to those of us who are fans.

In addition to that gem, I also managed to add this one to my collection recently:

From what I can tell, this set is really rare. I've see Juan Gonzalez collectors go nuts for their guy. Amazingly, the seller had TWO of them in the same lot.

Just the latest oddities for a player collector...

    I saw a post by you this afternoon and your picture took me instantly back to 1988 chasing those 87's

    Thank You

    I've also never seen them. Thanks for sharing.

    I saw your original post with the invitation and it is a really cool item. Congrats again!!!

    One of the best non-steroid players of the steroid era.
    Collector of 1976 Topps baseball for some stupid reason.
    Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.

    Yeah, that group has been on Ebay for the last couple months. Until those showed up, I had only seen one other example. I don't know how these were distributed, but they are among the more difficult Will Clark issues from the 80s-90s. I'm thrilled to have not just one, but two!

    I only got these because I had to get up crazy early one day, at like 3:30 in the morning, so I was the first to see the Buy It Now. I'm sure they wouldn't have lasted more than a few hours even without my early alarm...

    Agreed, along with Mark Grace - I enjoyed watching both of these guys play.

    Thats awesome that he sent back the reply card.

    In 1993 I invited Shaq and Darryl Strawberry to my Bar Mitzvah. No response from the Straw, but a nice signed 8 X 10 from Shaq was sent back.

    I hereby nominate Chaz as Asshat of the Day.

    that's a pretty darn cool item for your collection Drew. Not even close to as stalkerish as the Mark Grace collector's wedding napkin, either.

    Will Clark should show up to Maddux's HoF induction. I think Maddux might pee just a little tiny bit.

    Great card, I was just thinking about narrowing my collection. I grew up in the Bay Area, so the A's and Giants were a good part of my childhood. The Thrill was also. I'd like to meet him one day.
