Make like a tree and get out of here

I have been watching some of my favorite movies and TV shows now that I am home more.
Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies.
It took old Biff a long time to realize the saying was "Make like a tree...and leave"

This then got me thinking about the old Leaf cards from 1990 and how I wish I didn't invest into them so much as they are practically worthless now.

This 1990 Leaf Barry Bonds has an interesting fact on the back.
Barry Bonds was only the second Pirate to post 20/20 seasons.

There are a few active Pirates players that could potentially be 20/20 guys with Kevin Newman being the most obvious choice.

The most recent 20/20 guys are no longer on the Pirates thanks to trades that shipped them off to NL West teams in 2018 (McCutchen to Giants) and 2020 (Marte to Diamondbacks).

With news that NECA toys is producing a line of figures for the 35th Anniversary of the film and (wait for it....)

A LINE OF TOYS FOR THE ANIMATED SERIES THAT LASTED 26 EPISODES
I am going to show off 26 of my McCutchen cards with Starling Marte.

  3. Pre-steroids Bonds and his cards are terrific, including that Leaf card.
