Today as I was logging onto the Topps Diamond Giveaway site, I looked on the right hand side of the "recently unlocked" cards. Now, I have no idea how truthful this portion of the site is. It could be a looping list of 200 cards for all I know. I don't really believe in "runs" either - if you see a few old cards on that list that you'll get one too.
Regardless, I do usually look whenever I go to sign in, just for the fun of it. Today something caught my eye:
Upon closer view:
Now, I know next to nothing about this player. Michael Crotta. No idea. But still, how cool would it be to unlock this card or one like it? I can't even imagine the money some of these will fetch. All I know is that someone just got very lucky, and that someone was not me.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
If one of these for Hochevar shows up on ebay, I may have to remortgage my house to ensure I get it!
