1988 Starting Lineup Talking Baseball

Year: 1988
Card Manufacturer: Starting Lineup
Card Set: Starting Lineup Talking Baseball 
Card No.  26
Card Type: Insert 

Robin's got a few Starting Lineup cards.  These cards came part of a baseball game.  There might have been extra player packs to be had too I can't remember.  I'm sure someone out there is an expert on the set and will chime in. 

 Robin's other Starting Lineup cards come as a bonus insert packaged with  a sports figure bearing his likeness. I do have one loose figure somewhere, but I have yet to try and pick up any of his figures still mint in package.  That's not to say I don't want to add them to the collection.  I just don't have the space to store or display them and I would rather focus my collecting money elsewhere.

This card is smaller than the standard 2x3 card size.  I think it's closer to 1935 Goudey.

The image used is also iconic.  You'll recognize it from all sorts of other oddball issues from the 80's.
