Finally started my PSA registries and a showcase
Hi Everyone, the other day I was going through my cards scans and thought it would be cool to start some registries with my collection.
I will still focus on my LA Dodgers Rookie collection, but I was also start getting some Steve Garvey cards as well.
Right now I'm now 6th on the All Time Dodgers list, but I sent in a request for many All Time Dodgers that aren't on the list. Hopefully the other collectors will be ok with it. All Time Dodgers
Steve Garvey basic set 15th right now. Link to Garvey Set
Until the PSA adds more players to the All Time Dodgers registry I also did a showcase.

Lastly, I added a Mike Scioscia Basic Set Registry because I had a couple of his rookie cards and I thought I could eventually add more cards without much difficulty. Right now I'm #2 even though there are only 3 sets.
I will post some updates when I make some progress.
enjoy,
brian

<< <i>Why the Darryl Strawberry rookie card listed in all-time dodgers? >>
Strawberry signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1991, inking a lucrative five-year $22.25 million contract. In California, he was named Big Brother of The Year for 1991. After hitting 28 home runs and bringing in 99 runs batted in a successful first year for the Dodgers, injuries and personal problems kept him sidelined for much of the next two seasons, hitting five home runs in each season

Jim Brewer is in; Frank Howard, Tommy Davis, Willie Davis, and Bill Russell are not.
Darryl Strawberry is in; Gary Sheffield and Shawn Green are not.
Most of the Dodgers who have been named Rookie of the Year are not.
Mike Marshall won the Cy Young Award as a Dodger; he's not in.
Kirk Gibson, he of probably the most famous home run in Dodger history and a NL MVP Award - not in either.
This is what happens when one person (not Brian) sets an all-time team set up without submitting a proposal for wide input.

Reap the whirlwind.

Superb stuff - very entertaining.
Nick - I agree on the list - and Brian will probably have similar thoughts. I noticed he put one of my favorites in the showcase:
To add - Pedro Guerrero is a Dodger 'favorite' of mine:
In 1981 he was a replacement at 2nd base for the injured Davey Lopes. Guerrero had five RBIs in the final game of the 1981 WS – which earned him a piece of the first three-way series MVP award. In 1982, he became the first Dodger to hit 30 HRs and steal 20 bases in a season and he did it again the following year.
Pedro played the outfield and infield – replacing Ron Cey at third – tho IMO, not a sterling 3rd baseman – but definitely more than adequate. In fact, he was a serious contender for league MVP in a few seasons. The key for me? An impressive .300 lifetime BA and could hit the long ball!
His career highlights are impressive IMO.
LA Dodgers 1978-88
St. Louis Cardinals 1988-1991
Lifetime BA: .300
HRs: 218
Five time All-star: 1981, 3, 5, 7 & 9
WS MVP – 1981
Silver Slugger – 1982
This is one Dodger that I think flew under the radar. He did have some bad press a while back - I'm gonna lay off'a that.
Brian - thanx for sharing - also I'm a fan of Garvey - went to HS with him for a bit - did not make varsity that year - went out with him a few times - he was best friends with my best friend Darryl Bannister - he was very quiet - very well mannered and reserved guy. I played in a rock band in HS - but would've rather have been a big jock like Garvey!

Those sets should keep you busy in 2010
Thanks for sharing and good luck!

<< <i>Nice Dodger set... how long till the set gets updated with their young studs like Kemp, Either, and Loney? >>
I'm a big time fan of Kemp, Either, Loney, Billingsley, and Kershaw....I'd love to have their cards, but I'm really trying to get a the earliest LA rookies first.

...I don't see Strawberry on any Dodgers all time or greats list. I understand he was a favorite here as he was loved by the fans and was a home town player.

Nick, I totally agree. I really wish the PSA Registry had some better guidelines before certain players are added to registries, but its the way it is I guess. I have to admit Jim Brewer surprised me, but he pitched a lot of games during his Dodgers days and had lots of saves and helped win some big games back then. Hopefully the names you mentioned all make the list one day.

Mike, very well said..I agree and thanks very much for your comments.
And I believe Pedro Guerrero was a very big key to the Dodgers success during his days in LA.
