I like prospects. I like die cuts. I like Refractors. So, naturally, I'm really digging the 2011 Bowman Chrome Futures cards. Although they seem like sort of a random insert set, with three Yankees I collect in the checklist and a few variations of each card, I've been having a good time trying to pick these up.
On eBay, I got a good deal on these two Manny Banuelos cards as part of a lot. I think it costs less than $2 shipped, and it has the regular version and the Refractor. It bugs me that the 2011 Refractors don't say "Refractor." I know it's usually obvious, but I still liked it. Both of these cards are going straight in the Manny Banuelos collection.
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.
I thought of you yesterday when I pulled my Manny Banuelos auto out of a blaster from Target.
ReplyDeleteI too love the Futures die-cuts. Need to get all the Delino Deshields ones.
