Topps Yankees Project: 2014



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.

  1. You could put together a pretty good lineup with those players.

  2. Awesome return :). I have a feeling we're going to miss Logan a few times this season...

  3. I care that he is a Rockie. Hopefully he will help turn the Rockies bullpen into less of a liability this season.
