Nice pack. I was wondering if it would be possible to get a 5 star rating given the amount of sub par players in the set.

I agree with JT, bit harsh on Ken Sr. It’s obvious that Junior got his swing from good old dad. Who has a better batting average, Dad does(.296 vs. .290). It just helps when you can hit it a bit farther.

I have to admit when I was younger, that’s how I was. Now though, it’s just relaxing to have one pack out at a time. Review each person I find. I have always likened opening a pack to reading a book. Each card holds a story and that’s what I try to get across to my readers.

I wouldn’t have your self-control. I will probably buy a box of 1989 Score in a few weeks, and I doubt it will take me 2 hours to open every pack, sort them, and checklist it to see what I’m missing.

As for the better of the Griffeys, yes Junior is better. Yes Junior will make the Hall of Fame. But Senior has one thing that Junior may never get – a World Series ring. Junior was supposed to bring those to Cincinnati, but it hasn’t quite worked out that way.
