Card show rummage - tools of ignorance

I assume collecting catcher cards is a more of common 'thing' where I have seen at least a few other collectors post their pickups or display their cards - to me the cards are fun to look at because catchers stand out with their equipment, whether stationary or involved in some game action.

It wasn't the plan, but I ended up with 50 tools of ignorance cards during a card show run - I'm never going to get every card that applies to a collecting topic subset, but it's nice to build up a quantity 'adds' for one particular theme and actually take them home.

1994 Donruss Dan Wilson #388 - I stumbled upon this card showing the Seattle Mariners catching great wearing the tools of ignorance; I might have left the card for another time, but I wouldn't ever think back of looking for this random catcher, especially with the picture on the reverse showing where the real 'action' is.

Love that Darren Daulton card and the Steinbach as well. Fun post.

I feel like that Steinbach could be used for one of Beckett's (or was it Tuff Stuff's) caption this card contests.
