The prospects cards are nice. The best of the bunch is an Austin Jackson #'d 3/25, even though he is no longer in the Yanks organization. There was also a Corban Joseph #1/50, Ray Kruml die-cut #'d 14/50, and card featuring Mikey O'Brien, Brandon Braboy and Pat Venditte #'d 1/25. Corban's bat will get him to the majors one day. Kruml is likely a career minor leaguer, but the die-cut is cool. The tri-card is interesting. Venditte is the famous switch-pitcher who has thrown well at every level, but most think he won't ever touch the majors. Mikey O'Brien has a great arm and has battled injuries, but he is a candidate for a big year. Despite the low #'s, I'll probably use a few of these for TTM.
Also included were a few other Yanks. The 2008 UD Authentics are gorgeous cards. I think the white looks really classy. I also needed the Opening Day Swisher.
Glad you liked the cards and I am sure we will be regular trading partners. I am also glad to see someone that likes that 2008 SP Authentics set. I didn't particularly like it, but every set deserves at least one fan. There are sets that I love that others hate (or at least are unimpressed by), such as this year's Heritage offering among others.
