Today is the final day of the regular semester for me. In about an hour or so, I'll begin teaching the final two classes of the academic year - and then next week I'll need to proctor (and grade) three sets of finals, plus serve on a honor's defense committee. As you can imagine, there's little time for baseball cards at the moment...but I'm about to have plenty of free time in a week's time or so!
Luckily for all of your, the current group break consists of five card packs so even I have time to show the contents of another pack!
Pack 4:
3. Alex Rodriguez - Yankees
Do Yankee fans hate A-Rod as much as (seemingly) fans of every other team do? If so, I'd almost feel bad for the guy...but then I remember he poses for photos staring at himself in the mirror and I quickly cease to feel bad. That has nothing much to do with this card but that's what came to mind.
22. Joe Mauer - Twins
A little Minnesota love from a high end product!
69. Madison Bumgarner - Giants
I like most of the cards in the set but this Bumgarner isn't a favorite for me. I would have liked to see more of the jersey on the card - as it is, it almost looks like Topps lost their MLB license and had to block out all team logos (something Upper Deck never managed to do correctly).
84. Lou Brock - Cardinals
This card is fantastic - something about the powder blue and old school helmet (plus a great player) makes for a perfect baseball card. Congrats to Slightly Disappointing for yet another nice base card!
FB-AK. Al Kaline - relic #93/99 - Tigers
A dual relic of Al Kaline numbered out of 99 makes for a great, great hit! The Famous Four-Baggers relics are seeded 1:34 packs making this quite rare card! A big congrats to Dutch Card Guy who landed the Tigers as his "extra" team. I don't think you can get much better than a dual relic of a Hall of Famer from your "bonus" team.
There are still two packs remaining to be shown - hopefully I get those posted by the end of the weekend. Until then, let me know what you think about the set!

Wherefore art thou, Junior?
ReplyDeleteI know the odds are against my getting a Griffey, particularly at this point, but I still jump on your posts when they pop up.
Cool tigers hit, luck is with me this break ! And yea, i also dont like arod :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the cards look amazing. That Kaline is killer.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I think my favorite card from this pack is the Brock, and that's coming from a Cub fan! I think you're right, it's those powder blue uniforms!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I had the coin to collect this set, but my better half would disown me if I did. Sigh...
I haven't looked at a checklist but I wouldn't be too shocked if The Holy Mauer was the only Twins love Tribute has.
