Garage Sale Packs #8

I short while back I bought a bunch of 20-25 card packs (sealed ziplocks) at the local garage sale.  Each one was just 25 cents and I could see two cards.  I've been opening them one at a time and posting my favorites here.  I realize that I'm not going to get any "mojo hits" but so far I've had a lot of fun with them.

Pack eight had 23 cards -- 9 baseball, 11 football and 3 basketball.

The best card was this 1995 SportFlix Artist's Proof Rickey Henderson:

This is a nice looking card and Burroughs is an interesting story.  He is  currently playing with the Diamondbacks after having been out of baseball since 2007.

This last baseball card caught my attention because of Mackey's head.  Of course he has a great name too, "Mackey Sasser".  Check this out:

Two basketball cards were worth noting:

Here are three football cards I like because of the player's names:

Can't have too many Bubba's.

 Ironhead

The back of the card says that, "he was nicknamed Ironhead as a youngster because of his stubbornness."

These last handful of football cards just appealed to me aesthetically:
