As a part of my baseball card collection, I collect a player's final card. But I have a couple caveats though. The card must show his entire career stats on the back. From his 1st season to his last. I like having the convenience in it when I go through my collection. Who do I want? He doesn't have to be a Hall of Famer, he could be an All Star or just someone who I was just a fan of.
I went through my common boxes and found three to add:
 |
| 1989 Topps #11 |
Hall of Fame closer Bruce Sutter. His heyday was mostly with St. Louis Cardinals and ended his career with an injury marred stint in Atlanta. I think Sutter should have used ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" for his entrance music, then again maybe it's not good idea.

| 1989 Score #277 |
Former All Star 3B Graig Nettles played for the Expos? Guess so.. I was never a fan of him, mostly because he played for the hated New York Yankees. I included him because my brother was named after him.

| 1982 Fleer #532 |
Former closer and Cy Young winner Mike Marshall is the last one this time. 2 relievers added?! ugh! Will not try to that again. I added him because during his Cy Young season, he pitched 206 innings pitched in 106 games, all in relief. I don't think that record will be broken. Then again, pitching has become so specialized nowadays, a lefty specialist could come in a pitch to one batter 107 times in a season.
Another note on Marshall, I almost added him to MSU collection. He is alum but was only a student. He never played or was on the Spartan roster, so I excluded him from my MSU collection.
