Canseco Collector
@cansecocollector.bsky.social
My Jose Canseco card collection sat sad and alone in a bin for 25 years. But my love is rekindled! 1,164 and counting and I’m gonna try to post one a day.
LET ‘ER RIP #43
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends from your Canadian Canseco Collector! Celebrating with one of my all-time faves, which also happens to feature a jaggedly trimmed sleeve. Hoping your turkey is trimmed much better!

Our first look at Jose in torn-up Red Sox colors is a rip-roaring doozy! I had to zoom in on those crazy, haphazard angles on the trimmed sleeve of that warm-up jacket. Maybe the most brutal, viscous, rip job in this series!

If I made this series a top 10 list (which I probably should have because who knew there would be SO MANY ripped-clothes cards) this might be No. 1. Why? Because he’s wearing TWO SETS of trimmed-sleeve shirts! Plus the whole “why the shovel” question.

Such a great photo, with that trimmed sleeve rippling in his swing’s wake, and his forearm just plain ripped.

Here’s another angle from that fateful Fenway day when Jose wore an undershirt with cutoff sleeves. I guess also significant that day was the whole throwing knuckleballs and tearing up his elbow thing. But the sleeves were clearly the main attraction.

Extra Bases and extra ripped sleeves here! That’s right, we see pieces of four red, ripped undershirt sleeves in the two photos on this card. That’s gotta be a record “breaker” in the world of Canseco cards.

I know for 31 years most of us have been enjoying the three bats here. But leave it to me to notice how uneven a cut job Jose (or some clubhouse dude) did on those sleeves. And why didn’t he just wear a short sleeve shirt? Why did he want a full biceps cover?

In my chronological-alphabetical collection, this is the first instance of Jose cropping the sleeves off a red Rangers undershirt, following their 1994 uni revamp. That forearm is pretty ripped, too. 💪

Yup, on that fateful day at Fenway Park where Jose destroyed his elbow throwing knuckleballs, he was wearing the undershirt with trimmed sleeves. Maybe if his arms were completely unfettered by an undershirt, less harm would’ve been done. We’ll never know. 🤔

One of these things doesn’t belong here. I mean, on a grander scale, Jose didn’t really belong in Texas. But for the purposes of this series, Jose is the only one wearing a blue undershirt, ripped sleeves or otherwise.

I chose the Marlins inaugural version of this card just because it’s cool. And maybe it was the Marlin who chopped up Jose’s sleeves with its sharp, pointy nose.

What I love about this, from a ripped uniform perspective, is it’s a painting and yet they still captured the frayed fabric on the sleeve of that blue undershirt. Jose’s base Studio is from the same photoshoot but this one’s much more interesting.

Here’s another instance of Jose sweltering in the Texas heat, yet still wearing an undershirt with trimmed sleeves. Also ripped in this photo: that baseball. He’s knocking the stuffing out of it.

Ah, Flair, how I love thee. This beauty gives us two angles of both of Jose’s trimmed-sleeve blue undershirt. It’s also a cool display of the Rangers’ home and away looks. That being said, it’s amazing he didn’t overheat wearing an undershirt in Arlington.

This big ol’ bookmark card features a trimmed blue undershirt. And Jose’s like, “Bro, why are you obsessing over my undershirt sleeves?” Yeah, it’s probably not healthy. But such is the life of a Canseco collector. I can’t stop.

Honestly, I’m not even posting ALL of the cards where Jose has trimmed the sleeves off his undershirt. There are just soooo many. But you can definitely see it here and I love any card that shows how crazy open Jose’s stance was.

To be completely honest, I’m not 100% sure he cut the sleeves on that undershirt. It’s pretty clean. But I don’t think I’ve seen an instance where it’s clear Jose’s wearing a designed-to-be-short-sleeves undershirt. So I’m assuming this one’s trimmed, too. ✂️
