    Unless you were a serious fan of the Blue Jays or of Japanese baseball... who'd ever heard of him prior to that summer?

    I know I was on the phone to all the card shops in Wichita trying to get his rookies by that date.

    I had. But only because, the Corey Snyder fleer rookie was hot in '86 and '87. So we used to jokingly call it the Cecil Fielder rookie (it's both their fleer rookie for those who forgot). I quit collecting and watching baseball around '89 and when I came back it was shocking to find that the joke guy was huge and Corey Snyder was gone.

    Yeah, but the rest of us saps were trying to get rich on '85 Topps Snydner OLYMPIC rookies. Damn the man!

    That is cool. I remember in 1990 when he hit like 3 home runs in one day. My dad made us go to the card store and he bought me and my brother each his fleer and donruss rookies for 6.00 each. Miss those days!
