I'm back for the third time in just 10 days because today back from work I found six nice and thin packages waiting for me in the mail box...and so it's time for episode 3!
This time, together with the (literally) classic set of topps i'm building, you'll notice another main focus of the cards I'm about to show...
It is the White Sox brazilian-born pitcher Andre Rienzo, and these are the cards I've recently picked up on the bay of E!
Once again I'm presenting you some Topps Tribute WBC-themed cards, together with the first 2014 Turkey red card in my collection, and all the three are from the above mentioned pitcher.
Also, two cards out of three are serially numbered. Despite it's not visible (in fact it's on the back of it), the Turkey red is numbered to 499, not exactly ultra rare, but nonetheless a cool looking card.
The 3-color patch is numbered to a decently low 35, while the autograph is unnumbered.
I wish Topps used different pictures for different cards, but it seems that (at least for Rienzo) this is not the case....
Let's move on to the next (and last, I promise) Topps Tribute card, a card that I'm pretty proud of own, because it depicts an Italian player, and one that I really like, Jason Grilli of team Italy (and Pittsburgh Pirates as well)
Two more autographed cards to conclude this post, one from 2012 Golden Moments and the second from this year's Museum Collection, welcoming in my collection Brad Peacock and Felix Doubront!
As you can (I hope) see, only the Doubront is numbered, in this case to 399
Now that I see them all together I realized that this has been a very pitcher-oriented post!!
What do you think about this additions?
Best regards ane keep collecting!
Nice pickups and welcome to the blogosphere :).
RispondiEliminaThank you very much for welcoming me in the blogosphere!
RispondiEliminaI really like your blog and I'm putting together some nice yankees cards for you if you're in the mood for some international trading!
Well I'm always up for a trade (especially an international trade) but I'm not quite sure what you're into. Do you collect a specific team or player or position?
EliminaHi Zippy Zappy and please forgive the delay in my answer.
EliminaI collect basically every player, product and year, this approach to the hobby is mainly driven by the hunger for cards and the difficults in providing them at a reasonable price and waiting reasonable time to get them delivered.
I'm currently very into the 2013 Topps Tribute WBC set, so if you have any base cards that you'd like to get rid off, I'm planning to publish my wantlist for the set...
