The Angels, In Order odds and ends

Out of the blue I found a bubble mailer in my mailbox - Tom from The Angels, In Order sent me a bunch of assorted cards to go through [apparently his leftovers from a repack he purchased as well as cards he hunted down from my wantlist].

When I keep running out to the mailbox on impulse, just to see if I get something like a lost TTM request - thanks to Tom for taking the time to send something, so I actually had something pop in my mailbox.

Off my wantlist
1981 Topps Mario Soto #354 - hats off
1989 Upper Deck John Cangelosi #67 - awesome action; I love this card
1989 Upper Deck Bruce Hurst #792 - pitchers hitting
1992 Fleer Les Lancaster #384 - pitchers hitting
1993 Upper Deck Omar Olivares #194 - pitchers hitting

1993 Upper Deck Kenny Lofton #262 - inspecting his Oakleys

Cards not accounted for on my wantlist but needed anyway

1982 Topps Ron Hassey #54 - tools of ignorance / catchers card

1993 Upper Deck Mike Stanton #90 - inking it up
1993 Upper Deck Mark Portugal #99 - inking it up

1993 Upper Deck John Burkett #160 - either inking it up or a retro uniform card

1993 Upper Deck Ron Karkovice #199 - awesome action card just because it's kind of an odd shot where he is on the bullpen phone, maybe trying to order a pizza or something.
1993 Upper Deck Jose Melendez #288 - presumably with his kid on the field

1993 Upper Deck Scott Radinsky #298 - inking it up; looks like someone attached a ball on a string to toss over the dugout.

1993 Upper Deck Ricky Bones #328

2006 Topps Chrome Felix Hernandez #148
2008 Topps Bobby Crosby uniform #TR-BC - still in wrapped in plastic

2006 Bowman Heritage Justin Christian #BHP 43 - he has played in 76 MLB games, spanning 143 at-bats in parts of three seasons [2008, 2011 and 2012].

It looks he the 34-year old is still on the grind after having a good 2014 season with AAA Durham - did I mention I had 13 of his 2008 Bowman card.

2004 Bowman Jose Valdez #243 - another journeyman; thought he may have been one of these guys never to make it out of the low minors after being signed off the island [the Dominican Republic], but he is still active as of 2014 and has just a little bit of MLB time under his belt with the Houston Astros.

2005 Bowman Draft Matt DeSalvo #181

2001 Leaf Rookies and Stars Jeff Bagwell #37 - terrific career numbers, though I have no problem making him wait as far as the Hall of Fame goes, considering the era he played in [with juiced up players, juiced up balls, smaller ballparks and expansion teams].

2008 Donruss Elite Extra Edition Ryan Perry / T.J. Steele #CTC-2 - College Ties insert serial #'d 1251/1500; I don't get it how some players like Perry can zoom up to the major leagues at 22, yet find themselves on the journeyman track when in theory, they should be in their prime.

1993 Fleer J.T. Snow #7 of 18 - Major League Prospects insert

1993 Fleer Dave Fleming #5 of 10 - Rookie Sensations insert; when I collected back in the 1990's, I kind of remember trying to chase cards of the 'hot rookies.'
