72.0. "Kevin Mitchell (discussion)" by BOGUSS::DAMIANO (Spahn and Sain and pray for rain) Mon Jun 12 1989 17:32

    Well, what is your collective opinion on what the future holds for
    Kevin Mitchell rookie cards? It's too early to tell if he's legitimate
    or just a flash in the pan, but all his rookie cards are taking
    off. Here in the S.F. Bay Area, they're in the $3.00 to $5.00 range.
    I think they might be worth  picking up for later trade. I made
    a few phone calls to Mass., Nevada, Florida, Texas, etc., and the
    few I did find were priced substantialy over "book". His 1986 update
    ex-rookie cards are hard to find, too (Donruss Rookies, Fleer, and
    Topps). What do you guys think??

72.4	get this...	BOGUSS::DAMIANO	Spahn and Sain and pray for rain	`Tue Jun 13 1989 14:08`	13
	RE: .3 You're right, Griffey's cards are taking off. Bo's also moving briskly at above book prices. There was an article in the paper which credited Jose Canseco with telling Bo " you're the only other person who can achieve 40/40, but you're not man enough" ooooooooooooooooooohh!! By the way guys, if you want to talk about Bo and Griffey, start you're own note! 8^) X 1000 John D.

	I think Mitchell's stats over the past few years show that he is a steadily improving player and not a flash in the pan. And for another dimension of excitement (in addition to his recent awesome power display), I hope you all saw the replay of his going-away, bare-handed catch in the outfield. And if I can add one more word about Bo (thanks, John), his current stats aren't too bad for somebody who can't hit a curve. He's also a gifted fielder with one of the best arms ever. I suspect the threat of a career-ending knee injury may cool his ardor for his "hobby." If so we will see a remarkable baseball career. Canseco, on the other hand, needs to grow up quickly. Otherwise, Ron Kittle is going to wind up with better career stats. Hang on to those Kittle rooks!
72.7	MITCHELL UPDATE & COMMON TRADES	35848::FINER		`Fri Jun 16 1989 10:00`	9
	I'M LOCATED IN COONECTICUT, JUST BOUGHT 75 87 TOPPS MITCHELL'S AND A FEW 86 TOPPS TRADED. AT THE SHOWS HERE THE 87 IS GOING FOR $3 AND THE 86T FOR $5 - 9. WILL CLARK TOPPS 86T GOING FOR $5. I'M ALSO LOOKING TO TRADE COMMONS FOR COMMON YANKS, METS AND BOSOX. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR COMMON A'S OR GIANTS ?
72.8	MITCHELL ON THE RISE	CTOAVX::FINER		`Sat Jun 24 1989 17:17`	3
	AT A SHOW IN HARTFORD TODAY THE 87 TOPPS (METS) MITCHELL WAS GOING FOR $3.50. ONCE HE STARTS TO HIT EM LIKE HE WAS , THE CARD SHOULD RISE TO $5.00 .
72.9	Goin Higher !!!!	CTOAVX::FINER		`Fri Sep 29 1989 17:58`	2
	Mitchell's 87 Topps is now at over $6.00 on the east coast, just watch what happens when he hits em over the fence in the series.
72.10	hard to find	BOGUSS::DAMIANO	Spahn and Sain and pray for rain	`Mon Oct 02 1989 12:20`	9
	RE: .9 They seem to be hard to find around here (S.F. bay area), sorta like Clark's '87 Fleer rookie. Was the whole '87 set scarce, or are the cards being hoarded? John D.
72.11	I'm glad I bought 'em	CSC32::W_ALEXANDER		`Thu Nov 30 1989 11:57`	4
	MVP!
