It’s weird how one collector can be so different from another. I have on many occasions met collectors who wish more than anything that Pacific Trading Cards, Inc. were still working in the hobby. For me, I always looked down on their products ever since their official debut in the early 90’s. By 1998, they were pulling products out of their ass left and right including Pacific Invincible, which was a neat card at the time but these days is about as forgotten as the other guy from Wham! is (link).
The card itself had lots of shine (gold all over the place) but the gimmick was that it featured a window on the card itself with a photo of your favorite player. Now, if you held it up to the sky you could actually see through the card. Oh my! Hey, it’s better than the butt plugs, err….die cuts they put out in every single release they ever came out with.
Anyway, the card below features Jose Canseco in his second, embarrassing stint with the Oakland A’s and the “Bash Brothers” reunion which ended when Mark McGwire was traded mid-season and Jose made yet another appearance on the Disabled List. Does anyone know why out of four logos of the A’s, there is one on the back of the card that is clearly airbrushed out?
As for Pacific, a company that had been making baseball cards since 1975, they were bought out by Donruss in 2004. I have no clue exactly when they lost their license or why.










Bengie Molina is seriously whipped
27 09 2008Our Puerto Rican friend from San Francisco has been sued by none other than his ex-wife (link). Josefa alleges that Bengie and Merrill Lynch conspired to send funds, assets, and property to the Giants catcher’s “road beef” AKA a baseball groupie Bengie was involved with.
Bengie is currently hitting .294 with 16 home runs and 95 RBI for the Giants and is leading the National League in sacrifice flies. Keep shattering those baseball records, Bengie and as always, stay classy!
