Random Card of the Day



Friday, July 7, 2017

Year: 1993

Set: Jockey Star (Rate)

Card: #98 Sam Maple


“ It was a card from this set that allowed me to contribute something in every category here...I bought the card for the sole purpose of posting it here. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Wow. A jockey card. Talk about random! Interesting idea with the mirror photo - let's us see the awesome pink flamingo on his back. ” -olerud363

“ Now this is cool.....something different. Nothing special about the card itself, but it is a neat genre. ” -tbshaw

“ Sounds like a Jockey name. ” -carthage44

“ I had a bunch of these cards, have no idea where I got them from. My boys (ages 6 and 9) have them now, and do all the fun destructive stuff that 6 and 9 year olds do with trading cards. ” -Brimose

“ Wow. From the flamingo, to the artistic mirror shot, to the little cartoon horse in the corner, to the clean back with statistics, to the very fact that this is a jockey card, I, I, like it! I shouldn't. Really, I should loathe it. But I don't. ” -Vvvergeer

“ OH good it is a Horse Racing Jockey card. At first I thought it was some strange Minor League card of almost any other sport with someone trying on a Jockey's Uniform. Nice simple design, but looks too much like it should be Minor League Baseball or possibly Soccer than it does Horse Racing. Oh its Star that is why it looks like a Minor League set Star specialized in doing the team sets, and often League sets for the Minor League Baseball. ” -captkirk42

“ Surely he didn't win $26 million... ” -DarkSide830

“ Now this is truly random!! Kinda cool, don't want to get any, but cool none the less. ” -rmpaq5

“ This is the first time I have seen a jockey card. ” -kirkscards

Yes DarkSide, according to the card he collected over 26 million in prize money.  Of course, the way racing works, the owners of the horses he was riding while doing that got a significant cut of that money.  I'd guess that he got to keep less than half of that money, probably closer to 10% than half.

Hey Look at me LOOKING at Myself !!  LoL

Got my collection kind of split up in 3 places in two seperate states. So  I am willing to trade but might take me a bit to find the cards from my Trade / Sell list. So please message me first so that I can take some time to find the cards you would be interested in. Whether it's an hour or 2 months or etc. I would get back to you after locating the card or cards.

Neat. Have the horse ones from that year but didn't know they listed jockeys. Running horse border is a nice touch.
