I thought this would make for a pretty cool post,especially with X-Mas just a couple days away.This Kenner pamphlet slid out of my Starting Lineup Award Winners box upon opening.This brought me back like you wouldn't believe!One of my favorite childhood pastimes was looking through toy guides ,marking off figures I needed to complete collections. We recently picked up a new printer with scanner so I figured why not give It a test run.The pics aren't as detailed and crisp as I would have liked them to be ,but that's something I'll have to work on as I go.Trial and error ,I guess.If anyone's got any scanning tips,all are welcomed :)

I'm almost where I want to be with my Kenner Starting Lineup collection.The Award Winners set knocks off alot of players that I would have had a hard time picking up individually ,mainly Bonds and Bob Welch.Another thing this set does is tie in the 80s and 90s ,allowing me to segue my collection to add a few early 90s players that I enjoyed watching during those particular years. The 90 Canseco figure will be replacing the 88 figure in my Oakland Athletics team display.The 1990's Bo Jackson and Cecil Fielder figures will be displayed next to the Award Winners ,where I will be adding a few more 90s players to tie everything in.The top of my shelving unit will be reserved for Mets figures.Aside from a few key 1988 figure needs ,im pretty content with my collection so far. I'm waiting on a Greg Maddux figure that's going to be displayed on the National League side of the Award Winners piece,along with a Kevin Mitchell.In front I'll be placing a fielding Cal R
