Cincyredlegs does it again!

About a month ago, Cincy (Mark) messaged me and said he had something with my name written all over it but didn't tell me what it was nor did I want to know but instead, rather be surprised. A few days later, I get a little package and it happened to be a Canseco item I didn't own. I thought that was very nice of him and since I didn't own that item, that made it even better. End of story I thought. Right? Wrong. So today I checked my mail box and I see a small box but was a little confused because I wasn't expecting anything. Inside the box, I find a rack pack of 1987 Fleer. "Okay?", I'm thinking. So I look inside thinking that maybe I got someones package from BBCE except that the box had my name written on it. Then I look at the back of the rack and I don't notice anything. Still confused, I flip to the front side and notice that in one of the rows, I see something pretty awesome. A Jose Canseco card peeking through. I notice its his All-Star Fleer card. Sweet!! I then look inside the box again to try and see who its from and find this note.

Mark, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love collecting Racks and Cello's with Canseco showing and well, since this is card forum, I thought this would be a great time to show them image

    That first 87D Rack is pretty hard to find with Canseco's Base AND DK showing on top

    Mark is top notch, but he should not be one to say someone has a crazy man crush fetish when he is such a Reds whore. image

    Marc, that is a great collection of Jose packs, but remember not to let him sign any of them. image

    I prefer Reds Skank image

    Marc - glad you got it buddy. Hope you enjoy. Maybe I should rummage through my late 80's racks and see if I can find another "Jose can you see".

  • Eric, that's my favorite rack pack actually that I have. I owned the 2 others (Base Card/Dk) in separate racks which you can see so you can imagine how happy I was when I came across that one with both of his cards showing on top.

    And yes Mike, I would of had both my 86 Donruss rack packs (signed) with him showing on top included in those scans but then again, how many people can say Jose Canseco opened up my rack packs. lol

    Mark - You are awesome. Period. P.S. - If you come across others, let me know and I would gladly purchase. I would of bought the one you sent me if I would have seen it on Ebay. Good thing my addiction is very affordable.

    I guess while we're on the subject I better give him a shout out too! He sent me for free the 1991 Hank Aaron Heroes set along with the 1992 Upper Deck Frank Thomas/Tom Selleck card SP4 (now all I need is SP1-SP3 along with a few other scattered insert singles just for good measure. image Never hurts to get a couple things crossed off your list right? image

    PS: Just so no one is confused yes Fleer/Ultra inserts are still my main focus but I kinda think the 1990-93 Upper Deck inserts (especially 1993) are neat looking too image
