Here is my entry for P-town Tom's contest asking us to show off our favorite card of 2017.
I posted about this card not too long ago when documenting a hanger box break of Heritage High Number. My Fred Meyer is straight fire. I think I've bought more cards at Target but Fred Meyer has been way better to me. But whatever, buying retail is a crapshoot anyway.

I posted about this card not too long ago when documenting a hanger box break of Heritage High Number. My Fred Meyer is straight fire. I think I've bought more cards at Target but Fred Meyer has been way better to me. But whatever, buying retail is a crapshoot anyway.
Not only is this card #MyToppsMomentOfTheYear but it is also my favorite card of the year. Coming from a retail hanger box this card has it all: a clean, on-card autograph; game-used jersey stripe; low serial number (with it being my first 1/X serial numbered card); and a pleasing design. Plus, Kluber is a respectable pitcher who won the 2017 Cy Young Award after I pulled this card.
I didn't have any rooting interest Kluber before this card. I typically don't follow players outside my teams. The excellence of this card though has made me a fan.
I plan to make a follow up post with other cards from 2017 that couldn't knock Kluber off his throne. Hopefully it will feature some cards I have yet to show off on the blog.
Sweet card! That on-card autograph really stands out.
ReplyDeleteYeah the blue really works with that background
DeleteThat is a sharp looking card. #1 too. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think that is what really makes the card for me
DeleteI love the multi-colored jersey swatch. Excellent choice!
