Post Your 3000 Hit Club Cards

I like this set. No overhyped Ruths. No ad nauseum Mantles. One of the few hitting clubs not tainted by steriods (ok Palmeiro, you can come back in the room now). Sure, there's the usual gamblers and racists but what hitting club doesn't have those?
From Anson to Biggio, it covers all eras of baseball.
It's almost an eclectic set. It has some of the biggest names in baseball, less well known stars, and a couple of HOFers you rarely hear of. It also has the guy with the coolest (or strangest) nickname in baseball: Paul "Big Poison" Waner.
Griffey Jr. will likely be the next member of the club with 2633. At 2935, here's hoping Bonds never sets foot in another MLB park.
I don't really like PSA's rookie rule for the set. Most of the best cards in my opinion aren't the rookie cards. The 1953 Bowman Musial is an example. This is by far his best card, maybe the best card in the 53 Bowman set, and definately one of the best cards of ANY set.
Post 'em if you got 'em!

<< <i>Alright, I'll bite. They are going to start calling me HOFAUTOS , but hey, I kinda like that guy as he has a lot of neat cards, and I've been called far worse

Thanks...being liked by one respectable guy makes up for 10 douche bags that don't matter.
I will just start with this one, and then add one every now and then to keep the thread alive.
Wouldn't be a mikeeey thread without an edit...

Those are really nice and INTERESTING. I always thought once I retire, when I won't be able to afford the more expensive
cards, that I may start collecting oddballs. I have always been fascinated with the oddball stuff.
I apologize if these are expensive cards, but I know most oddballs are usually inexpensive compared to their
counterparts...i know there are a lot of exceptions too (e.g. wilson franks)....
AGAIN, very interesting...nice cards...do you have more oddballs to share, i would love to see them and know the value of them...
