Here's the grand prize from the Collecting Cutch contest, a great looking relic #'d 18/27. This is an awesome addition to my McCutchen PC. "Cutch 22" works on a couple levels, as it's a pun on "catch 22" and 22 is his jersey number.
Brian didn't just stop there, though, including a bunch of sweet bonus cards for me...
If you've ever checked out the Collecting Cutch blog, you know Brian's got an insane Andrew McCutchen collection. I collect him too, but on a much more modest level, and here's a nice lot for my PC. Cutch has been struggling the past couple years, apparently falling victim to the Samson complex, as it seems his mojo was in his dreads. But he's a good guy and I still collect him. Hopefully he can turn things around.
You don't see too many oddballs these days, thanks in large part to legal bullshit, so it was cool to be surprised with these police cards.
I like these motivational sayings on the back.. a step up from the old "Stay in school" and "Say no to drugs" you get on similar cards back in the day.
Love this sparkly Conforto RC!
Some more dudes I collect.
Xander in the house!
A few cards for the Mike Trout PC.
A couple reprint/ads of HOF RCs.
Ooh.. A Padre prospect auto. Michael Kelly is still in the San Diego organization, currently putting up solid numbers in AA.
And let's wrap things up with an auto of the Cobra himself, Dave Parker!
Awesome stuff! Thanks again, man!
Parker is one of those players that I pretty much only have one thought of. I remember as a kid seeing a highlight, I believe from an All-Star game, where he threw out a guy at home from right field. I don't pay baseball much attention anymore, but seeing a highlight of an outfield arm like that is something I will never tire of.
ReplyDeleteGo grab a lottery ticket. You're on fire!
