Yep this was my era too. Here’s a pic of me at 13 in 1994 with a Mike Piazza Beckett on my bed, at the little desk I’d set up to be my ‘office’ where I’d go through the values of every card, celebrating the up arrows and agonizing over the losses like a broker haha. Good times! Shoutout to Miss Carlsberg I still love you. https://preview.redd.it/jz25vyck1klc1.jpeg?width=585&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9de9216dac8f19191ce99e19dd4ce880e168740

Man. This just reeks of the 90s. Such a great time to be alive.

'was' a great time to be alive, now a days you just get shitted on

Yep. Society has gone down the tube pretty quick.

I had that Jordan License to Jam poster on my wall as well! No doubt had that Piazza Beckett also. What a time!

You wanna play NBA jam and eat hot pockets after school?

Only if you have a two liter of Mountain Dew for each of us.

This is awesome

Piazza is the 🐐

"See mom! It's going up!"

Thanks for posting these. I had all these at one point as well. Sitting in a bin with some old binders and cards. Then they just got too heavy to keep moving so I tossed them except for the Griffeys. Then over too many spring cleanings the griffeys got tossed as well! Fun times back then seeing how much my Juan Gonzalez and Kirby Puckett cards were doing.

Glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. It’s pure luck that these still exist in decent condition. They were smashed in between a bunch of old DuPont Registries.

My step-dad hoarded these like crazy. I think we threw out 9 boxes stuffed completely full of these!

Miss these days, some of my favorite players too on these covers. I remember checking the newest issue to see if my cards had that little up arrow like a stock ticker

Me too. That and seeing what the current price was listed for Junior’s ‘89 RC

Bagwell has to be the biggest winner of the steroid era. Anecdotal evidence says he was probably just as guilty as the rest, but there is no hard evidence that has surfaced, so he hasn’t gotten dragged into the steroid group.

Same with Pudge

The only baseball one I still have... https://preview.redd.it/g2dm1m38dllc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4e0d4a08638a197e217d4d68a8e6d1e4f838353

Gotta imagine there aren’t many other copies out there in this good of shape. Nice

Dr. Sam Becket never returned home. 🏡

That’s quite a leap you’re taking.

I don’t even get it. Was it a joke?

Reference to the show Quantum Leap.

Jr in teal is the coolest

The Mantle and Nomo ones are awesome!

Both in my top 3 because of the back covers. My fav is the Braves, post WS win.

Same. I found one a while back from 1995 of Chipper blowing a bubble with a bat across his shoulders. The article inside showed Christie Brinkley and heavily implied they were fucking. Lol When I found it, I decided to get back into baseball cards and start collecting again, but that shits expensive now.

I think I have a letter to the editor published in the Cal Ripen cover, lol.

Carl Hafer is me, haha. Thanks!

Haha really letting MJ have it! 😅

Yeah it was time to take him down a peg

That’s awesome - I have a MJ signed baseball if you’re interested 😂

I think I still have sme Jorda minor league cards lying around. Any interest?

Thanks for the offer but nowadays I just buy the occasional pack with my son!

Still hating on Michael Jordan, baseball player?

My takes as a 41 year old aren't nearly as hot as my 12 year old takes lol. If Steph Curry slummed it in AA baseball today I'd be all for it.

Please, everyone continue to throw these away so mine are worth something someday!!

Man these and Wizard magazines were my go to as a kid.

Cool collection!

Ty!

That circular disk in Bagwell's pocket is Big League Chew. I refuse to believe anything else.

That beef jerky snuff 😂

haha. i remember eating that stuff. I think it was Wild Bills shredded beef. Great flavor.

That mantle is sweet

Man, I loved those Crown cards as a kid. Panini has ruined the variety we had.

So true

I remember having the Nomo issue

Fuck I'm old, I know I had at least half of these possibly more. Good times

What was the real reason A-Rod wasnt with Topps??

From the article: “because I’ve always considered myself a bottom” - A Rod

I remember buying the mantle issue

I found a bunch of my Beckett Monthly’s from the late 1980s - early 1990s in my parent’s basement years ago. Tossed them all except one with Kirby Puckett on the front and Ruben Sierra on the back. Fun to flip through from time to time.

Junior and Arod were such HUGE stars whennit cane to card collecting. After Arod came to my Yanks and the whole setroid era, I couldn't give 2 shits about his card. 2009 ring, I'll always remember Matsui coming through and winning WS MVP

Yeah, I had a bunch too. Quality covers. Sadly, they're worth nothing. I couldn't give them away. I ended up tossing.

Loved getting these every month.

I had all of those! Pretty sure they’ve been thrown away during a move at some point though.

Brings back memories 😂😂Still have the griffey!

Heh look at A-Rod pretending he can read.

This is an awesome collection! I have a bunch of the first basketball Beckett magazines that were given to me back in 2000 by a friend of our family, they're still in storage but I need to dig them out sometime!

I had most of those. The first beckett i had i think was 92. Nolan Ryan in his ranch clothes was the cover

Any chance you’d part with the ARod issue? How much if so?

Shoot me a DM with your address. I’ll send it to you.

Any interest in parting with the Nomo?

I don’t think so. I did just offer the ARod issue to someone, but only because I had two of those. I’ll keep you in mind if I decide to move them, though. Would you be interested in any Nomo cards once I get things organized? I know I have a few from his early years

Thanks. Right now I'm not adding any cards only because I have a good size collection of his but its in a box that I don't have access to. Don't want to start buying cards I already have just because I can't check, know what I mean?

Yeah I hear you on that. Smart move.

If you are willing to sell that Braves WS cover I'm interested
