So, needless to say, it doesn't take much arm twisting to get me to go. We've actually stopped by three times since my first Cards and Sprinkles post. And I try to get something different each time we go.
The goal, as always, is to get some interesting players, ones I can tell the wife about. You know, so she's impressed with my vast knowledge of late-80s, early-90s baseball players. Or something like that. It's a bonus when I get actual players from the 1990 CMC set.
One of the three packs I've gotten was a jackpot - six CMC players and an interesting set of cards. The other two were busts, with hardly an interesting card among them.


Neither pack produced a 1990 CMC member.

But the coolest thing is, out of the 12 cards in the pack, six - six! - were 1990 CMC alums. There's Vinny Castilla, Moises Alou, Reggie Jefferson, Leo Gomez, Luis Gonzalez and Curt Schilling.
And, while not exactly stats on the back, there are some facts that might be called interesting. If Schilling hadn't been an athlete? He might have been a history teacher. Luis Gonzalez might have been a DJ; Gomez a preacher; Castilla a lawyer.
There's pet peeves, too. Castilla's is waiting for people. Gonzalez's is a messy house. Reggie Jefferson's favorite player as a kid was Andre Dawson.
But, wait, Curt Schilling as a history teacher?
