2008 UD First Edition Green StarQuest
It's not easy being green...2000 Skybox Impact
This completely forgettable card is from a set whose only redeeming feature is that the football version contains one of the few Tom Brady rookie cards out there. When I requested this card of Capewood's list, I must admit I thought it was something else.1996 Stadium Club
Chipper playing shortstop! Getting out Robbie Thompson! I love Stadium Club!1996 Bowman
This one's actually getting put in with the rest of my '96 Bowman cards instead of in the Chipper box. I don't have a lot of 'em but now I have one more for the set I'll never finish.2002 Stadium Club
This is what is commonly known as a cardgasm. If the cards in 2008 Stadium Club look like this, I'll forgive the $25 a pack price point and the unhealthy focus on autographs.2001 Topps A Look Ahead
This is another one that will be going in with the set and not the Chippers. One of these days I'm going to finish that master set of '01 Topps.2004 Diamond Kings Team Timeline
This card is beautiful, man. Sorry, I - I just got something in my eye there... Tell me again why Donruss doesn't have a flippin' license anymore?!?Ok, and now what You've all been waiting for!!!
1998 Pinnacle Inside Chipper Jones Card In A Cardboard Frame With a Fold Out Stand Up Display On The Back Featuring A Piece Of An Authentic Jersey From The Player Pictured On The Front Assembled And Distributed By Vintage Sports Cards, Conroe Texas 77385
Isn't that wonderfully awful?? The swatch is completely insane too, it's white, but it's some sort of slick polyester patch material. I have no earthly idea what in the world it could have possibly come from. Yes, I traded a Chase Utley jersey for this. AndI love it. One more.... thing to add to my ginormous Chipper collection. Thanks Cliff!

I knew if there was anyone who could appreciate this Fairfield thing it would be you.

Every time I look at my G. Brett Donruss Diamond Kings cards I get a tear too! I wish baseball would figure out that Topps and UD need some competition to keep them honest! Great jersey card too!
Yeah, that '02 Stadium Club card is awesome. It's what every card strives to be when first envisioned. It's what all cards would look like if they were made by fans and not by corporations.
Those Stadium Club Chippers are flat out awesome.
I would want to hate that Chipper oddball but its just so darn odd and mysterious I would have to have it too. Did they make any of those for Ivan Rodriguez?
I love the 2000 Skybox Impact cards...they were clean, readable, and usually had decent photos. No bothersome foil, either.
