Ultra Pro Baseball Card Stands
I've been wracking my brain lately,trying to create a makeshift card display.Brainstorming for ideas and coming up empty every time.Finally I gave In and took to eBay to see what was available.I wasn't looking for anything fancy schmancy,just a small stand,strong enough to hold up one card In a top-loader.I'm not sure how many of you out there collect trading cards ,but If you do then you know that Ultra Pro has all of your trading card supply needs.Unless there's something else out there that I don't know about,Ultra Pro Is my go-to brand.Needless to say, I wasn't surprised to find this affordable set of 5 Ultra Pro card stands for just under 5 bucks shipped! The cards look great when displayed on the transparent stands.The stands ,however,are pretty lightweight,so you're not gonna keep anything much bigger than your standard sized top loader or screw-down from tipping over. I thought I might be able to display some action figure card ...
1992 Starting Lineup Roberto Alomar
This particular series of Starting Lineup figures as well as the funky card design has really grown on me.You get alot of bang for your buck .Not only do you get a great figure but you get a poster and baseball card ,too. From 1990 to 1993 ,Kenner added an extra collectible to compliment the figure and baseball card.An extra card In 1990,a coin In 1991 ,a poster In 1992 and then back to an additional card In 1993. 1993 would mark the last time Kenner would include a second collectible with their figures (not counting the deluxe sets),offering just the figure and a baseball card for lines released from 1994 to 2001.
The Ryan Express !
Nolan Ryan Is the latest addition to my growing collection of Starting Lineup figures.To me,the name Nolan Ryan Is synonymous with the Texas Rangers,even though he's played on three other teams before them.Crazy to think he never won the Cy Young award.
