Happy Birthday

by jupiterhill - 176 cards (Last updated on Oct 1, 2020)



141. 1992 Fleer #157 Kirk Gibson


Born: 5/28/1957

Reason Chosen: Thanks to his historic home run I was a lifelong fan. I had a double on one of his cards as a Royal so I included it. Plus I really liked the 1992 Fleer design.


142. 2007-08 Upper Deck First Edition #181 Carmelo Anthony


Born: 5/29/1984

Reason Chosen: Been a fan of his most of his career and for a short time a Nuggets fan. Not even sure if he's playing anymore, but I liked watching him when I watched the NBA.


143. 1990-91 Pro Set #217 Reuben Agboola


Born: 5/30/1962

Reason Chosen: I bought a box of these cards off Ebay many years ago and might finish the set. However this was one of the doubles I pulled. I have no attachment to it, but for now it stays in the collection.


144. 1994 Collector's Choice #565 Kenny Lofton


Born: 5/31/1967

Reason Chosen: As much as Lofton was a good player, I chose this card more because I loved the card design. 1994 was probably my favorite year when it came to card designs.


145. 2015-16 Upper Deck MVP #92 Roman Josi


Born: 6/1/1990

Reason Chosen: 1990? Man I'm getting old! I like to have some younger people on here, and besides not knowing who he is, I would like a bit more hockey included, so he stays for now.


146. 2013 Topps #452 Raul Ibanez


Born: 6/2/1972

Reason Chosen: Once a Royals player, I always liked him, and later in his career he'd become a Royals player again.


147. 2000 Bowman Chrome #101 Az-Zahir Hakim


Born: 6/3/1977

Reason Chosen: I don't have many Bowman Chrome football cards, so I thought I'd keep one. I got this for cheap in a collection of Rams cards off Ebay when I got back into collecting around 2008 or so.


148. 2015 Topps Heritage #142 Jake Petricka


NOTE: No 6/4 Card has been chosen yet.

Born: 6/5/1988

Reason Chosen: Mainly because I like the Heritage design, this card could be replaced at some point.


149. 2008 Upper Deck First Edition #203 Jeremy Affeldt


Born: 6/6/1979

Reason Chosen: Once a Royals pitcher, so I thought he'd be perfect for this collection. It may be replaced at some point though.


150. 2012 Upper Deck MLS #159 Jun Marques Davidson


Born: 6/7/1983

Reason Chosen: While another one of them soccer cards, Jun only has 25 cards in the database so its good to honor him in some collection. Also the card I have isn't cut right (white space on the top of the front), so its a bit of an oddball. Might scan the image for the collection one day.

I really liked this list!  My favorites parts are the write up on the Mike Marshall card.  I have a Luke Walker from 1969 that is folded and wrinkled and trimmed because I kept it in my back pocket for good luck when I was a kid.  I wouldn't trade that card for anything now.  Also the Eddie Kennison write up brought back memories of some of the Pittsburgh Pirates boxes I bought off ebay, now I have very, very, very many Steve Cookes.

Good Job!

Thank you.  I really need to scan the Marshall card so it will show up on here.  I miss the days where buying a box off ebay was cheap enough to enjoy.  Now shipping just about kills any deal.
