Some of the players I had in my toy box included Tony Gwynn, Roger Clemens, Alan Trammell, Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Joe Morris, Bernie Kosar, Mike Singletary, Danny Manning, and many more. Those are all long gone, but I still have about 80 unopened SLU figures in my collection. Here's the complete list:

Did you collect Starting Lineup figures? If you have any now, are they sealed or open?
Thanks for reading!

Damn, dude, that's a nice Starting Lineup collection! I'll have to post mine at some point. Did your mom ever call them "dolls" when you were a kid? I got so mad when mine did!
ReplyDeleteI don’t think she ever called them ‘dolls’, that would be aggravating!
DeleteDefinitely post a list of your SLUs when you can.
New in box! New in box!
ReplyDeleteQuite the collection there. I never got into Starting Lineup figures, but I do remember having two when I was a kid: Don Mattingly and Mike Pagliarulo from the Yankees. The faces on both of them looked almost exactly the same. Heh.
Since they couldn't really be played with, I was never that into SLU's. I'm tempted to buy some just for the cards every time I got to McKay's though, especially the one's that are less than $1.95.
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah, I collected them! I'd love to add more, but they take up too much darn space.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, I only had Vince Coleman. Today, I've got a Griffey and a Gwynn, which I think were included in a Wes bombing a few years back. (Not the same thing, but on the topic of sports figures, I also just got my first vintage Transogram figure which I need to post about soon.)
