Random claims from an online purchase - Part two

1980s stars whose cheap cards I still like to make keepers in various ways - Sandberg was a pillar of the decade, so it was a moment for me seeing the posts on social media where he had passed, R.I.P.

Guys like Brett, Schmidt, Winfield and Ryan will be sorter according to the decades when they made their MLB debuts - but I wanted to show how their playing careers overlapped through the 1980s and the mid 1990s.

I'll probably add the 1987 Topps Clark rookie to a junk wax era themed curated set I'm trying to get off the ground - while pairing it with a newer faux version for comparison sake.

McGwire's card has been added as part of my mini-collections - where players are tipping their caps to the crowd.

1990s stars whose cheap cards I still like to make keepers in various ways - I actively collect Vladimir Guerrero [Sr.], where it's not just a passive deal where the sentiment has sort of passed for other notable players.

I like the father and son duo card - though I don't collect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. cards as much as his father's.

2000s stars whose cheap cards I still like to make keepers in various ways - I'll pick up the unique insert or base card, but I like the idea of letting things be for most subjects, where my interests are mostly passive.

2010s-2020s stars whose cheap cards maybe worth making keepers in various ways - Jose Ramirez maybe a player I am trying to catch up on collecting in catch-all sort of way.

Maybe I'm obligated to appreciate the metronomic consistency to a non-geographic star - that has been under the radar for so long.

Six years into the current decade and I'm still trying to figure out who are the players that are going to have some lasting power on a national level - Henderson and JRod have shown flashes of stardom, so maybe they are two players to think about as long term stars.

GOATS - I'll make keepers out of the random cards of legendary and/or iconic players, even if I've never had their original vintage issues in-hand.

A pair of stragglers to finish off the portion I'll end up showing off - I don't know what I find more appealing about the Arraez card, either the throwback [Florida] Marlins uniform or the idea it's caked up with dirt.

Nootbaar is not a star by any means - but there is still novelty in the idea that he played for Team Japan in the WBC three years ago.
