i must share in your misery of the elusive kevin higgins...my hometown of utica, NY used to house the famed utica bluesox and one fateful night i waited a good 4 hrs through an awfully boring game just to find out from kevin higgins THE 2ND that he was not in fact the kevin higgins i oh so desperately wanted....damn him....glad you tracked the real mr. higgins down

got back another pawsox scab great...aubrey the jeep waggoner....however, he pilfered my 93 classic, so some one who has an extra of that card has to step it up and send me one before i post
also got
TOM SZIMANSKI 4.4 94 stadium draft mariners
6201 SNEED COVE
AUSTIN, TX 78744
1994 was a banner year for auto collectors...the stadium draft and sig rookies draft sets offered a plethora of cards of A ball players...however, has anyone else noticed how bad that draft sucked? other than nomar, both sets are devoid of any impact players...josh booty, paul wilson, antone williamson, ect all crapped themselves in the pros.

graveline, man I love this post but I really think that starting another one would be a good idea.
Oh, John Gumpf... Twins #2 pick in 89' I have his 92 Ft. Myers card... is an assistant baseball coach at Notre Dame and his wife is the head softball coach. I am going to a few ND baseball games this year so I would be able to help anyone if they need him.

no one has an extra 93 classic aubrey waggs for me (signed or unsigned)? wheres the love?
my 1st international success
Kevin hooker 17/17 phillies 95 martinsville and 96 fleer excel from australia
kevin had gotten released by the phillies prior to the 96 excel set comming out so this card was all but impossible to find signed...kevin now works as a scout in austrailia for the phills...i was able to get his email addy contact him, and mail the cards and a sharpie off to him....took nearly 3 months, but definitly worth it!

Northwest Nazarene University
623 Holly St.
Nampa, ID 83686
also, i usually dont post my big league successes, but this one was so odd..
2 weeks ago i got harold baines, 5/5 that i mailed a little over a year ago. decided to throw out my last 4 cards, and they came back signed in under a week...very strange

I went to a JC game around here and brought my Kevin Higgins cards with me since he was listed as the manager at one of the schools that was visiting. I didn't see anyone on the team that really looked like him so I asked one of the players to point him out for me. He points to some guy in his mid 60's coaching 1st base and I drove right back home :-/
