I'd prefer a card of a middle-reliever over a 'superstar' any day. The bigger the base set, the better.<br /><br />I know you'll agree that Topps Total/UD 40-Man are among the best sets ever made!<br /><br />Nick J<br /><br />P.S. I was rummaging through my 1998 Pacific Online set the other day, and I found a Kevin Mitchell card. He was with the Athletics! Do you have a card of him with the A's? If not, I will go through my pile of doubles, and hopefully I will be able to send one your way...beefmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846881597043194968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-72508720863175977142013-08-13T19:58:29.862-05:002013-08-13T19:58:29.862-05:00As usual, I'm right there with ya.
