That being said, two cards came to me from Jim at GCRL that are worthy of a "special" designation. First of all they came from a very generous blogger and that always makes a card special - thank you again, Jim.
Secondly, both of these cards are Dodgers; ok true, not my favorite team by a long shot but coming from a Dodger fan makes them special as well. Many of us get flooded with cards of our favorite team's so when cards come from the senders favorite team, it should be noted as "special".
Probably not as important as the two reasons above but both of these cards are what I have termed as a "Clemente-ism" (look at some previous posts under my irregular special feature onthe right, if you need a explanation of what I mean).
This 1978 Steve Garvey # 350 showcases his batting average at the end of the '77 campaign at exactly .300 !
And this 1986 Steve Yeager # 32 after fourteen years as a Dodger has his total career homeruns at exactly 100 !
You will have to believe me because I purposely did not show the backs of these cards in hopes that some of you might look at your own collections and see if you can find any other "Clemente-isms", just to designate them "special" too.
And finally these two cards are special because they are Steve's . . . and anyone with the first name Steve in my book is "special".

The Cubs should be competitive enough to keep pace with the others teams. I really like the Cubs . They’ve always been one of my favourite MLB teams to watch. I pass most time watching and looking for their news and videos. Last time I saw some hot videos of them here:

They really deserve our love so we must not stop supporting them .Go Go Cubs
The Steve Garvey card looks like they were driving along, stopped at some random park and took the photo. Notwithstanding that, very cool cards. Is it just me or does Steve Yeager look like Jeffrey Dean Morgan?
