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 #37
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.

Here Jose is wearing an A’s branded trash bag with sleeves cut out. Kidding! Seems like a XXXXXXL warmup jacket with the sleeves cut short.

It’s three, three, THREE times the ripped undershirt sleeves on Jose’s iconic triple-exposure card from 1992 Upper Deck. We even get to see the job he did on both sleeves.

Yup, when Jose was traded to the Rangers, he went from trimming the sleeves off green undershirts to trimming the sleeves off blue undershirts. 👕✂️

As if there wasn’t enough to love about Jose, dude just didn’t care about cutting his sleeves in a straight line. Just wanted them cut. Who gives a 💩 how it looks? I mean, look at that left arm!

Here we see Jose shouting, “Hey everyone, check out the undershirt I’m wearing! I cut the sleeves by myself with scissors! It’s a little uneven on the left but I did my best! Now, stick to center, Willie Wilson, I got this ball!”

Another great shot of Jose watching one go, while wearing a cut-off long sleeve undershirt. His back pocket is also inside-out. Is an inside-out pocket series in my future? 🤔

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. ✂️

There’s so much to love about this classic 1991 Topps card, not the least of which is that bat appearing to be bending through the air from the force of Jose’s swing. But don’t discount that undershirt with the trimmed sleeves.

There’s a lot to take in here, I know, but for just one second, can I draw your attention for the purposes of this series over to Jose’s chest and the sliced v-neck just above it? Okay, now you can resume your focus elsewhere.

I noticed this during Game 7 and thought it was so fitting for my current Canseco series. Huge hole in the right batting glove and huge hole on his left knee. Ernie Clement’s hustle, and love for the game and his teammates, was a joy to watch.

Jose is absolutely thrilled here to be playing catch and showing off his massive right biceps in the process. But at the same time he’s sporting a BP/spring training jersey with that classic sliced v-neck we’ve seen so often in this series.
