I really didn't consider my Ty Hensley collection as 'serious' until I picked up the above card - his 2012 Bowman Chrome Refractor Autograph. I had the base auto, but the Refractor is a must-have for any prospect collector. I got it for about $6, and it should cost a lot more than that. I got lucky. When Ty is in the Bigs pitching shutouts for the Yanks, this card is going to be highly sought after. You watch.
While I'm talking Ty Hensley, here are a few more recent additions. I'm doing very well with 2013 Bowman Draft half-assed attempt for a rainbow. This Red Wave Refractor is #'d 20/25, and is one of the nicer looking colored Wave Refractors in the set.
And here's a simple Bowman Platinum Purple Refractor I didn't have.
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.
It's hard enough for me to pull the trigger on autographs of A's and Padres prospects, but I hope things work out for Hensley.
