Overall, it's a nice card. The bat relic is just sort of cut into the card. It doesn't feel like a seamless part of the design. Tino was also on the Devil Rays at this point, which is unfortunate. For reference, here is the base card without the bat:

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.

Tino Tuesday #68: 2004 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Red Bat #199
This is another Tino card I reclaimed from my collection at home. I don't remember acquiring it, so I assume it was just a random eBay purchase at some point. I remember when the "mirror" cards came out in the mid-90s. They were a very, very high end set. Somehow I don't think the ones from 2004 have the same clout.
