**gripe over** Love seeing full sets like these put together.

Photoshopped uniforms with the classic 00’s is worse in my opinion.

I'd be lucky to name half of the players in that set without looking at the back.

Currently working on some similar years Contenders stuff that look way more appealing IMO.

This one was way harder to finish than it should have been. Was stuck on one card for over a year. Red Sox fans are the worst!

He was pretty good for a season or two. I bet awz50 would shoehorn him into the HOF if he had any say.

Thanks!

You didn't name yourself after the band did you?

if someone asked me to name two random baseball players from any generation, Chad Hermanson and Warren Morris pop into my head.

Yamid Haad is the third. Despite having never been to Pittsburgh in my life, late 90s Pirates evidently left an indelible mark on my prepubescent frontal cortex.

Great set!

No, didn't know about the band. Was more of a nod to Poe and also the fact I never thought I would collect again when I began again in the hobby, yet here I am many years later.

Another great auto set from that time period. Lot of nice looking autos too.
