Four #5 arrivals from Night Owl Cards

Greg of Night Owl Cards sent this four-pack of UV-era #5s last week, augmenting the shiny section of my type collection.

• 1989 Bowman #5, Dave Schmidt
• 2005 UD ESPN #5, Randy Johnson (pictured for ARI, but named for NYY)
• 2006 Topps #5, Carl Crawford
• 2009 Topps TTT5, Evan Longoria

That's at least one HOFer and two quality players from Florida. I was surprised to learn that Mr. Schmidt also rated a 1989 Diamond Kings card. To his credit, Dave posted an above-average ERA+ for 8 straight years from 1981-1988, making the choice not unreasonable--you just don't expect middle relievers to get the Perez painting treatment.

NOTE: It's impossible for me to see Evan's name without thinking of Eva. Sorry man, that's how XY chromosomes work.

Thanks for the cards, Greg!
