Folder of Fun: Page 6

The Folder of Fun, as I like to call it, has been in the works for about three years. That's about the time I stopped buying retail and hobby packs and began tracking down cards which fit a certain general description: FUN.  Here's a link to the first post in this series if you'd like to go back and catch up. 

Page 6 plays host to what is probably my favorite card within the entire folder. Take a glance at the full page and place yours bets.

1997 Upper Deck, #52 - Kenny Lofton

I've never seen anyone but world class track stars use a parachute to train before. Unique!

1991 Upper Deck Looney Tunes Hologram - Wile E. Coyote and Ken Griffey, Jr.

This was not an easy card to take a picture of and I'm bummed my phone shows up better than Wile E.'s attempt to trip up "The Kid" tracking a fly ball. Regardless, fun stuff!

This is just like the Gary Pettis card from a couple of days ago. Bizarre.

1994 Upper Deck SP, #106 - Randy Johnson

The Big Unit undoubtedly has hundreds of cards showing off his pitching form.

But, there's one card I know where he's a beacon of glee.

1976 Topps, #564 - Kurt Bevacqua Bubble Gum Blowing Champ

Bevacqua defeated Johnny Oats to earn the 1975 Joe Garagiola/Bazooka gum blowing championship.

2016 Topps Stadium Club, #129 - Adam Jones

My only question here is, "Is Adam Jones blowing on that pie?" We all know it's going in the face of the player giving the post game interview. But, did it come out of the oven?

1991 Topps, #659 - Oscar Azocar

Azocar never made a name for himself in baseball, but this is still a neat looking card. He's also a legend of cardboard.

1988 Donruss, #596 - Sammy Stewart

My sister gave me this card because she knew I would appreciate it. I think unibrows crack her up.

1996 Topps Stadium Club, #53

I've watched one game from the rooftops on Sheffield Avenue and it was a terrific experience. All I can remember about the game was the pitcher went to play left field for a batter or two and then returned to pitch, but that's enough to find an article about the game!

That's the end to a wonderful cornucopia of cardboard.

Thanks for stopping by!
