I love the 2005 Prime Patches set. It kills me that Tino is featured as a Ray in this set, because it's truly one of my favorites. The relics are so classy, despite all the various versions of the card. I'll tell you, if Tino was a Yankee in these, I'd be aggressively trying to complete all of his cards in the set.
With that being said, I still monitor these on ebay from time to time. I recently put in a low bid on this particular card and won. Yes, the gray swatch is a bit bland, but it's a jumbo swatch and my first of it's kind. It's also #'d 113/177. Not sure what the 177 represents.
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.
