1998 Pacific Mike Piazza "In the Cage"

Before we get started, I'd like to share a little song I wrote about two of the dogs I work with in the kennel.

*throat clear*

Daragan and Winnie
Sittin' in a tree
B-A-R-K-I-N-G
First comes woofin'
Then comes Lickin'
Then comes a litter of puppies that have to be vigorously shaken and dried with a towel while having fluid simultaneously sucked from their noses to help prevent them from suffocating. <3

Thank you. Thank you so very, very much.

I recently went searching the bay for some new Piazzas for the collection and came across a seller with about 7 nice, hard to find inserts, none of which I had. Unfortunately, I didn't have alot of money to throw at them, since this wasn't a planned spending spree, so I put low ball bids on all of them just hoping something would stick.

As the clock wound down, I watched myself get outbid. Card by card fell to the wayside, leaving me with nothing...except a smaller credit card bill. Until finally, the clock wound down and the winning bid was still green!!!


A 1998 Pacific "In the Cage". Seeded 1:145 packs, this was the first time I had seen this card online, in a store or elsewhere. The yellow background is cut to mimic the netting of a batting cage, hence the name of the set. I won it for about $8 shipped , which is a little more than I wanted to pay but since I lost the other 6, it became personal.

So that's my latest pickup. Inching my way ever so closer to 1,000 Piazza cards!
