I really like the 1996 Finest throwbacks from 2023 and so I went out and got some original Brewers versions from 1996.

This parallel is my favorite so far for the Series 2 set. Chrome has Frozenfractor and the Murakami that I love too. Lost auctions on both of those. Was able to snag this one though.

I wanted these cards the first time I laid eyes on them. I picked these up on eBay. Supposedly, you can get them from select police stations in Wisconsin but I tried a couple without any luck. These are series 1, with the text on back that come in a wax pack. There seems to be a series 2 that is sold in plastic rip packs with blank card backs. I believe there are color differences on the front of the cards between the 2 series as well (e.g. Contreras has a blue background).

Do any of you have any pointers or pics to other great bunting shots on baseball cards? It feels like bunting is rare in today’s game, but I’m not sure if my perception matches reality there. My team, the Brewers probably bunt more than the average team.

I love Jimmy Mac and I love the gold shine of this card. Even get a little national pride with our red white and blue on the back. Not generally a huge Rookies & Stars set guy but every set has some great cards.
