He was at his peak then and would've easily got the home runs he needed that year to get over 500 for a career.<BR/><BR/>Harold Baines is another one and may have had over 3000 hits if it wasn't for the strikes of 1981 and 1994.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170852386254175201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1146780910309829752006-05-04T18:15:00.000-04:002006-05-04T18:15:00.000-04:00I always thought a ball point pen autographed card...I always thought a ball point pen autographed card was cheesey, but a sharpie made it look great, i think it always helped the card.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911546348926892846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1146769531544678482006-05-04T15:05:00.000-04:002006-05-04T15:05:00.000-04:0084 Topps = London Calling!

Therefore I find myslef thinking more about it today. <BR/><BR/>How do you all feel about getting an autograph on a baseball card? Do you think it technically damages the card or doe it make it more attractive and valuable? <BR/><BR/>I actually got that Canseco rookie from 86 donruss autographed in person at a show thinking it would raise the value tremendously. I managed to trade it for something pretty valuable if I remember correctly.

For some reason every drug store carried '86 Fleer and Topps, but you had to go to an actual baseball card store to find Donruss. That was the third year of beautiful, impossible to find Donruss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1146711178121574212006-05-03T22:52:00.000-04:002006-05-03T22:52:00.000-04:00Billy Hatcher may have had a fine World Series in ...Billy Hatcher may have had a fine World Series in 1990, but I'm guessing that he'll be remembered a little more frequently for his home run in the bottom of the 14th to extend <A HREF="http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/B10150HOU1986.htm" REL="nofollow">the greatest game ever played</A>... at least that's what I remember him for...Captain Easychordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366568790950469332noreply@blogger.com
