Quarter Box Quartet - Hand-drawn Mullet & Teemu

Another day, another four cards from the quarter box at my local hobby shop...

I don't recall having seen these Upper Deck MVP cards that use fan-drawn artwork before.  I didn't scan the back so I'm not sure how old the artist is here, but it's not the worst depiction of the D-Backs flamethrower (literally in this case).  Sort of second guessing why I picked this one out at this point.  Onward!

I've liked these UC3 Cyclone Squad inserts since the very first time I saw one over 20 years ago.  I'm not actively chasing the set or anything, but if I see one I don't have for a quarter it's definitely coming home with me.  As with so many modern cards, they look a lot better in person than they do in the scan.

Nice to see a little hockey in the mix of four cards that I grabbed randomly for this post.  I was 50/50 on whether I already had a copy of this one when I grabbed it, but I'm glad I went for it because it turns out I didn't.  I'm sure I probably had multiple copies of this card as a kid, but those are all long gone. 

In any event, I'm always happy to add a new Selanne to the collection, he was one of my favorite players to watch throughout his entire career, and was an effective goal scorer right until the end.  A rookie for a quarter was an easy buy.

Closing things out is the second Kenny Lofton card of this post!  Just another great addition to my small collection of minor league releases, which has really been picking up some steam lately.

That's all for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another trade post...
