Ok, no, I'm just messing around. That's P-Town Tom, of course. But hey, I've got a respectable Vogelmoster player collection too.
Looks like the big fella is finally putting it together in the Bigs, putting up some huge numbers here in the first few weeks of the young season-- .836 SLG, 1.309 OPS, 251 OPS+ --making him the early favorite for AL ROY. So I figured I'd celebrate his success by revisiting the cards I've got of him.
This 2011 Bowman Chrome blue refractor auto #/150 is my best Vogelbach card. I bought it for $26 three years ago, and these days it usually goes for around $80.
Nice variety of 2013 Bowman cards.
I love 2015 Bowman Chrome-- pretty much the only modern Bowman set that moves the needle for me. Got a partial rainbow going here.
More Bowman stuff, including a Christmas Card in the middle.
Early unlicensed cards. Love the silver ink auto.
The "Changing Places" card is a custom I whipped up for Tom shortly after Dan got shipped to Seattle. It's based on a design of 2002 Fleer cards for traded players.
Another custom, going for a Griffey rookie look. I know I made a 3rd custom too, but I don't seem to have kept a copy for myself. Tried a couple TTM attempts that didn't return (yet?).
A couple more autographs to close out the post, with the Stadium Club card being the clear highlight thanks in large part to the on-card signature.
There you go. Wishing continued success to the Vogelmoster!
I don't know how anybody could root against this guy. Nice PC!
ReplyDeleteexcellent start to this PC! Had no idea how much you were "in" on this guy. Hope he has a great year!
ReplyDeleteI know it's only April, but this post warms my heart and gets my vote for Post Of The Year.
ReplyDeleteVery nice collection. My favorite is the '89 UD custom. Great photo, great design, and tremendous execution by the creator.
If you're ever looking to add to your collection let me know. I have some duplicates I could send your way.
Yeah, I'd be happy to trade for any dupes you want to shed!
DeleteTom has some competition now.
ReplyDeleteThats a dang good PC of the guy. I remember seeing all Tom's posts about this guy for the longest time. Its so cool he is doing something and we all are looking for his cards now.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad collection at all. Love seeing him do well so far!
ReplyDeleteI'm so stoked that Vogelbach is blowing up this year... especially for you and Tom. I only had one or two of his autographs... but I'm pretty sure both have been shipped to Tom. If he continues his tear, I guess I'll have to track one down for my collection eventually.
