What is this new series all about? Well....
I get the year from the toy and the day the post is published. The cards I could have done by the year of the toy, but I decided to use the theme of the toy instead due to the fact a lot of the featured toys will be early 90's and I prefer a good mix.I must also note that not all will specifically be "toys"but will be items of remembrance as well, hence the theme.
I hope you guys enjoy reading these as much as I do posting them!

FEATURED TOY:
This is an incomplete piece that I recently found for FREE at a Yard Sale. She is missing her tail and accessories. Still a classic to this TMNT fan.
1992 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Playmates Mona Lisa.
FEATURED CARDS:
Speaking of Turtles, let's keep this theme green. These 1996 Pacific Gridiron Gems fit the bill.
These over-sized cards all had a great photos with green foil that took up a third of the card. The sides of the card also appeared to be blurred out focusing on the "Gem" player on the card.
I had a few of these kicking around, but these ones were acquired from my blogging buddy JBF.
My favorite of the group, Kerry Collins. Always was a fan of his. I was excited when he became a NY Giant later on.
What memories do you have of 1992, TMNT or these Pacific trading cards?
Fun stuff. While I did watch the TMNT cartoon from time to time, I don't recall the Mona Lisa character. For free, that sounds like a great deal!
