#25T - Dave Collins


What a card: The Oakland A's obtained Dave Collins, along with shortstop Alfredo Griffin, from the Blue Jays for relief pitcher Bill Caudill on Dec. 8, 1984. The A's were Collins' sixth major league team (he'd play for eight).

How'd that go: A little bit of a disappointment. Collins was on-fire with the Blue Jays in 1984. He fell back to average numbers with the A's in 1985 and moved on to the Tigers in 1986.


Backatya: Regarding Collins' interests at the bottom and how they match up with my interests: Strike 1, Strike 2, Strike 3, Strike 4.


Back-to-back: The original flagship card of Collins wins out over the traded card, despite the appearance of a batting cage in the A's card.

Collins' flagship card is No. 463 and was blogged on Oct. 15, 2015.
