As all of you are aware Topps decided to go high end card producing at the end of the season. I didn't buy any boxes cause of the crazy high price point but I am not above getting singles for way less then it would've cost me to bust one box. This is the first batch of cards I've received (have a few more coming!)
In no particular order:
CJ Wilson auto numbered out of 150. Saw him pitch live this past May in Yankee Stadium. The Angels won that game 7-1. I think he can put together a pretty nice career and he should have a whole lot of run support with Trout and Pujols.
A redemption of a Jim Palmer Silver signature numbered out of 99. I'm a big fan of the hall of famer and the card will look great with my Jim Palmer autographed Orioles team book. (posted previously on the blog)
This is a nice on card auto of Fergie Jenkins numbered out of 25. It's a nice card and will be added to my small but growing autos of hall of famers.
Once I saw the Krukker was in the set I had to get his autograph (already have one from topps archives) but regardless the silver pen really pops. Although I really like John Kruk, I am surprised that he is in a high end set.
Last but not least our 142 million dollar man Cole Hamels. The Relic is really nice and large. I don't have any of the museum collection relics so this is a nice add to my Phillies relic collection.
These are just the cards I have in hand! Can't wait til the other ones come they get even better!
Gotta say, the Five Star sets is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI plan on getting me that Joey Bautista autograph soon enough.
Jumbo relics just don't do it for me, though.
Very nice pick ups! I just scored a Vida Blue auto at a very nice price. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
