upper deck heroes of baseball

 i went through boxes of game programs over the weekend and found a big card in one of them, it said 'upper deck heroes of baseball'. it was from 1993, when i attended a game in st. louis. there are six players shown on it, the two largest are bob feller and reggie jackson. the smaller photos were art shamsky, ken hotzman, dick williams, an earl weaver. at first it was hard to understand why all of them were on this card, but i searched wikipedia and found out four of them, the four in the smaller photos, are from st. louis. it says it is a limited edition item, and since it was inside a program it is well preserved. now it is inside a sheet protector in a binder. another item found in boxes was a schedule of events from oktoberfest in new ulm from 2017, and it was also put in a sheet protector like this big card. this card is now next to two in the binder that i bought at an estate sale a while back, showing kirby puckett an rickey henderson. i know it is possible to discover even more in these game programs, since there are various giveaway items at baseball games. at work it was a high volume of checks to print, just over 10k, and not all of them went out same-day. i picked up another bag of chips from the vending machine as well. in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 4 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when howard met bernadette and sheldon met wil wheaton. it was followed by the one where leonard had a scratchy sweater and raj said 'what were you thinking' after he blew it on  another date, when he was fixed up by penny.
