The title of this post is misleading. Purposely misleading. Why, you ask? It seems pretty straightforward, right? You're thinking, he's going to talk about some awesome rookie cards of three of the great players from the 90s and 00s.
Well... not exactly.
Because, you see, this post is really about a strange mini-collection. Instead of explaining the nature of that mini-collection, let me first show you the cards referenced in the title of this post.
 |
| 1995 Upper Deck Minors #59, Craig Griffey |
 |
| 2015 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects #114, Mariano Rivera |
 |
| 1991 Score #346, Ozzie Canseco |
I call this mini-collection the "Lesser Knowns." There are various categories of lesser knowns that I have developed within this mini-collection. The Craig Griffey, Ozzie Canseco, and Mariano Rivera cards fit into a category of lesser knowns within the same baseball family.
The other categories:
- Lesser knowns with the same name as a considerably more famous non-baseball athlete.
 |
| 1981 Topps #294, Mike Tyson |
- And finally, lesser knowns with the same name as a considerably more famous non-athlete.
 |
| 1987 Donruss #484, Jim Morrison |
I'm sure you can think of examples of some additional players who would fit into each of the lesser known categories. Feel free to leave yours in the comments below. At some point, I might just reveal my entire list of cards in this mini-collection. There are several mixed into the Frankenset, so be on the lookout.
