JOY OF A COMPLETED TEAM SET - 1989 BOWMAN

SO MONTHS AGO A GUY ON TWITTER POSTED A CHALLENGE. HE POSTED A FRAGMENT OF THE BACK OF A BASEBALL CARD AND OFFERED GOODIES TO ANYONE WHO COULD TELL HIM WHAT CARD IT WAS GOT A PRIZE. MY FRIENDS, I CAN TELL THE BACK OF A 1993 TOPPS CARD FROM 500 METERS AWAY AND A TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS CARD #326, GARY VARSHO. i WON THE PRIZE AND AMONGST THE WINNINGS WAS A COMPLETE 1989 BOWMAN BRAVES TEAM SET.

I HAVE KIND OF LOW-KEY IGNORED 1989 BOWMAN BECAUSE 1) PACKS WERE ALWAYS OVERPRICED BECAUSE GRIFFEY 2) COMMONS WERE ALWAYS TURNING UP EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OF PEOPLE RIPPING FOR GRIFFEY 3) A FACTORY SET IS CHEAP AS DIRT ANYWAY. SO I GREATLY APPRECIATE INSTANT BRAVES TEAM SET. CARD NUMBERS ARE 262-279, NO BACKS BECAUSE THEY ARE BORING AND NO MARK LEMKE BOWMAN ROOKIE BECAUSE TOPPS HAS ALWAYS HATED ME. ENJOY THE SET
