Screw Miguel Cabrera!
I'm not his biggest fan after the skirmish between him and the Yankees last year, notably Austin Romine. So when Paul from Scribbled Ink decided to hold a contest because Miggy screwed him, I was totally on board.
Here's my Eff Miggy 1/1. I especially like the unicorn tattoo.
Besides the sweet custom, Paul took care of me with Yanks. First off, a Jeter I've never seen. Cool Vegas theme!
He also included a blue parallel of the 2018 Jeter Highlights set, as well as one of the Topps NOW inserts.
I love cards of obscure Yankees, and I have to admit I did not remember Michael Coleman. Even cooler that it was a gold parallel. Great Topps Gold design, by the way. Huge fan.
Tino! I did not have the 2003 Gallery Rainbow Refractor. Great find, Paul!
Collect-A-Books!
I like this Reggie a lot. The gray border looks pretty cool, I have to admit.
Unrelated to the contest, Paul needed a 2018 Topps base card I had, and was kind enough to hook me up with four solid 2018 Topps cards, including two Judge base card, a Bellinger insert, and a Moncada foil.
Thanks for everything, Paul!
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.
Moncada looks great in pinstripes.
ReplyDeletenot a bad swap.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Collect-A-Books don't receive enough love among collectors. I have a few of the basketball sets and maybe a football set. I'm thinking I might need to track down all of the different sets out there and display them in a binder.
ReplyDeleteHaha for that Miggy.
ReplyDeleteThat Jeter Vegas card is awesome looking. Cool insert.
