GCRL Olerud

GCRL had a free card post a week or so back, and I was able to pick up this John Olerud card I didn't already have in the PC.

1991 Sports Cards News #7
This card originally came on a 9-card insert sheet in the Oct-Nov 1991 issue of Allan Kayes Sports Cards News Magazine. The page also included a sweet Nolan Ryan card I'll have to keep my eye out for.
Jim also threw in the 1996 Topps Laser checklist set. These are a bit of an odd shape, a little bit larger than a standard card, and a tight fit in a 9-pocket page.

And he checked out my want list and saw that I needed cards for the massive 2009 Upper Deck and Upper Deck First Edition sets.

Free is always fun!
Thanks Jim!

  2. I love reading old issues of sports card magazines like Allan Kayes Sports Cards News Magazine. Don't remember it back in the 90's, but I've picked up a few copies at card shows and the flea market over the years specifically for the sheets of cards.
