$15 Scumbucket Grab Bag 1.16

2005 Topps Pristine Matt Williams UNLV (0081/1999)
One thing that would have made college more fun would have been to be on the baseball team.  And what could make that even more fun?  Put that college baseball team in Las Vegas.
My college didn't, and still doesn't, have a baseball team.  Oh well.

Reggie as an Oriole.  The world pined over this until about 1988 when Score put Reggie in an Orioles uniform for the first time. (Notwithstanding the 1976 Crane disc, which has no logos or colors.)  Still a sight to see, even today.

$15 Scumbucket Grab Bag 1.14

1987 Topps Traded Greg Maddux
I think this is the first iconic card to become part of this lot.  This one popped up in the huge free lot of cards from earlier this month, and since I already have the whole set, this one goes up for grabs.  Only $15 for everything you see here.

Bidding Under the Influence #22

Date: January 15, 2023
Time of Bid: 10:54:01 PM
Card: 1973 Topps #193 Carlton Fisk
Price: $2.30 (+$2.95 Shipping)
What Was I Thinking?:
Come on, it's Fisk's first solo card.  Condition is nicely worn, but mine is improved by the presence of what looks like a big-ass blood stain on the side.  And that ornery look sets the standard for pissed-off-ness on a baseball card.
