More Towards 1987

 The cards for my 1987 Angels quest are trickling in. 

Here are some from a trade with sportzking:

1987 Fleer Update Glossy was the focus in this trade.

And a couple PC guys.

Those Angels cards get me to 69.5% for the 1987 Angels Quest.

Not from 1987 but definitely high on the interest list:

More great Fleer stickers.

A page of these just looks so good.
These came in a trade with Mjprigge.

Here are a big bunch of cards from Boots:

This is an error card as his name is misspelled "Fluery" on the back.

These cards arrived unexpectedly from MarkZ:

Mark wanted to contribute to the 1978 Topps set build, which I haven't officially kicked off yet.

Glad to have them!

Here's a predominantly Heritage for Heritage swap from Geo Boyle:

One for the Joyner PC, and the Varsho is an ERR showing Mike Bielecki on the back.

Aside from the Griffey RC, I'm down to needing just a handful of the ERR cards to complete the 1989 Upper Deck set.

The next trade comes in from Rk100981

Current Angels needs and I'm still working the 2007 Turkey Red set. I'm about 20 cards away from the set but all but one are SPs, so that may never happen.

And to wrap this post up, a trade with Williams3b

Mostly 1994 Fleer Update, and this beauty:

1982 Topps - Team Leaders / Checklists Offer Card.

They just don't make special offer cards like this anymore.

So simple, so cool.

Smokey and the Pros

Cards are starting to trickle in for my 1987 Angels quest this year. One interesting one came in this trade with BucCollector.

Two oddities in there actually, but let's look at this one first:

This is a Coins of America Smokey and the Pros card, one of a 32-card NNO set released in 1987. It's more like a custom card, with a little cutout of a Smokey poster and one of a baseball card, in this case a 1974 Rich Hand, stuck to a wood frame design. The card is then laminated on both sides. TCDB has the set checklist but without any further information as to how they were distributed. There is no reference to these in my Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards.

Maybe they were handed out at games?

The second is this b/w Joe Rudi:

This card was a throw in as the BucCollector saw that I had a Rudi PC (very nice of him). The only thing I know about the Rudi is the seller said he picked up a stack of about 100 similar cards all picturing A's from the 70's to 90's. Nothing on TCDB for this one either. Possibly a custom card?

Here are the backs of both:

Any help? Fuji?
