1991 Cracker Jack un-cut "sheet"















Card Review: Incomplete  I'm not calling this a "card" even though a feels a lot more like a card than the regular Cracker Jack card.  While I'm not calling this a card, I still like it a lot, and the player selection is fantastic.  I always viewed Kelly Gruber as the slightly inferior American League Tim Wallach.  Like Wallach, he was a great player who didn't get nearly the attention he deserved because he played in Canada.  Howard Johnson on the other hand, was not one of my favorites.  He did however provided me with a nice example to use in arguments as to the levels Super Star status Wallach would have reached  had he played in New York.  DeShields was/is/remains one of my personal favorites.

1991 Topps Cracker Jack #21

Card Review: 5.5  These were inserted into boxes of Cracker Jacks.  They're tiny.  Too small really.  At the time, I took a lot of vindication in Wallach being included in the set.  Having a favorite player who played in Montreal prior to the internet and espn2, ect., left me with a bit of chip on my shoulder, and I took the little victories wherever I could get them.  To my knowledge Howard Johnson and Chris Sabo were not in this set.

Number of this "card" in my collection: 2
