Whats on your shoulder ?

The first group of cards I am highlighting from my card show purchases are the 1991 Leaf subset called Studio 91. I could not pass up these cards for a couple of reasons; first 1991 is the year my daughter was born and secondly . . . . take a look at Steve Lakes card - he has a parrot on his shoulder. How could I resist ! ? The back of this card says Steve Lake raises birds and this one is named Ruffles.

All Bill Landrum could put on his shoulder is a ball and Paul Molitor and Pedro Guerrero just put a bat on their shoulder. Way to go Lake (yes he is a former Cubbie too).

I also liked "Oil Can" Boyd pictured with all his necklaces and especially like the use of his nickname (note a previous post of mine about nicknames); and Ivan Calderon, nice ear ring # 22 ! On the back of Calderons card lists his interests as "basketball and . . . cockfighting". You just have to wonder if he knows Michael Vick.

Anyways, I like these cards, and will be looking to find more of them via trades or the next card show I attend. I only picked up 25 cards so I have plenty more to find. Maybe my next batch will show other objects on players shoulders ? ! Whats on your shoulder ?
