I added a really nice success to my list with this one from Carlos Baerga. He was one of the better offensive second basemen that I remember from my formative years following the game. The above 1996 Topps Gallery turned out really nice, and it was out of the box I busted while I was at Andrew's house.
I really liked the action shot on this 1998 Topps. The white Mets hat also looks pretty cool, I think.
Finally, these two round out the success. The 1996 Bowman looks pretty good, and the 1995 Stadium Club Super Teams card looks really freaky, but in a good way.
Baerga (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1990 to 1999 and 2002 to 2005 for the Indians, Mets, Padres, Red Sox, Diamondbacks and Nationals. He had 1,583 hits, 134 home runs and a .291 batting average. He was an All Star three times (1992, 1993 and 1995) and was a Silver Slugger Award winner in 1993 and 1994. His best finish for MVP (AL) was in 1993 when he finished 10th. He appeared on the 2011 Hall of Fame ballot, but didn't receive any votes.
I mailed to Baerga on May 30 and got the cards back on July 20, for a 51-day TAT.
