My Topps Yankees Project. The pride and joy of my
collection. One Yankees card signed via TTM for each year Topps has existed. No
repeat players. Another new issue crossed off the list.
Since I completed my project a few years ago, I eagerly wait
for the Topps Series One checklist each winter. I always hope that Topps
includes a few lesser known Yankees into the set, so that I have a great chance
of knocking the current year off of my project. This year, I found four players
that Topps included in the set that I felt decent about sending to. Finally,
after a few weeks waiting, this came back:
Boom! Thank you Mr. Boone Logan. Who cares if you now play
for the Rockies? You are pictured and shown as a Yankee, where you pitched from
2010-2013. I’m thrilled to have your black signature scrawled across the card. Into
the binder you go!
Here’s a rundown of who else is part of my project. I’m
going to rescan all the cards in the coming days and share them once again.

You could put together a pretty good lineup with those players.
ReplyDeleteAwesome return :). I have a feeling we're going to miss Logan a few times this season...
ReplyDeleteI care that he is a Rockie. Hopefully he will help turn the Rockies bullpen into less of a liability this season.
ReplyDeleteVery cool project idea. Congrats on re-completing it.
