In this episode, Dan G. and I talk about the following:
- 1988 Florida Gators Emmitt Smith
- 1990 White Sox Coke Sammy Sosa
- 2003 Finest X-Fractor Frank Thomas
- 2008 Finest Rip Master
- 2010 Bowman Platinum Mike Trout
To confirm the dialogue on Jack McDowell, he won the Cy Young award in 1993.1
Correction in Dialogue: At 10:12, we discuss the 1990 White Sox Coke set and how it entered market. Corrections: This set wasn’t included into packs of Coca-Cola products; it was only released as a Stadium Giveaway at Comiskey Park in 1990. Confirmed by Rick Hirst and Ross Clark.

Great video…always nice when you discuss oddball cards like the Emmitt Smith and Frank Thomas collegiate cards. Those cards and weird inserts from the 90s are always so interesting.
Thanks, Lushan. 🙂
hahahah the rip master card! Hilarious that he’s kept it all these years.
Right!? Such a ridiculous card. Haha!
Here’s a nice piece…love to have an uncut set with Thomas!
