Does he have a nickname? 22 homers in two months you need a nickname. Gonzo perhaps? A-Gon? Skippy? Yeah, that sounds right. Skippy with the mighty cut.583 Francisco Cordero
The joys of cropping. I think part of my obsession with this is that I'm becoming an old geezer very quickly and the eyes (which were never good to begin with) are starting to go.607 Jarrod Washburn
636 Armando Galarraga
Not interesting enough for scans.

The red jersey and border and orange dirt make this a nifty looking card. Is he playing on Mars or something? Did the bag get swiped by a Mars rover?606 Nick Johnson black border #17/58
These black border cards are nifty. I like the sparkly on the border. I've got an autographed minor league ball of Nick in my collection for some reason. It seemed like a good deal at the time.TTT48 Blech.

Boring

Posed shot of a 500 home run hitter! Do this more often Topps!595 Vernon Wells
Crash imminent!Pretty good pack, it was the last Jackie in the box too. Lots of David Wright packs in the box for some unknown reason.
As for the next war, 17 of you wanted to see Jumbo packs of Topps and UD, 5 of you wanted to see a 1989 Topps 100 card pack fight with a First Edition basketball blaster, 7 preverts wanted me to make love not war and the winner with 25 votes was...

Do you remember when Ted Turner and TBS were on a politically-correct kick and the WCW announcers had to refer to foreign objects as "international objects"?
Good times.
