Recently, Chris from View From The SkyBox posted some tradebait. I saw a Paul O’Neill 2012 A&G jersey with a big old pinstripe that struck my fancy, and a deal was born.
I’m still surprised with how frequently O’Neill has been
included in modern sets. He was always a favorite, and adding pieces of his
jersey are always something I’m interested in. If you touch the jersey, you can
still feel Paulie’s heart pumping. Ok, maybe not, but that’s what I’ll tell
myself.
Of the additional cards, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t
love the TANAKA RC the most. He’s so awesome. Beyond anything I would have
imagined. I’m not only a huge fan of his pitching, but how professional he’s
been in his approach and demeanor. It’s hard to believe he’s just 25. It feels like watching
someone who is 33 or 34 and has been in MLB for years.
Here are the others. That Clemens Turkey Red is truly sweet.
The background is amazing. And the Mo reprint! I've kind of come to terms with the fact that I may never own the real deal, so this is a nice consolation prize.
Sweet #Tanak.
ReplyDeleteSweet O'Neill. I always try to go for the jersey pieces with a pinstripe. I can't wait until his plaque ceremony. Tanaka is a STUD. I have a few of his cards coming in. He is on his way to a plaque ceremony, if he keeps this up.
