First up is my second David Wright game used card. 2008 Topps Highlights. One thing I like about this card is that the back actually has some cool statistics which most game used cards do not. Mine also has a blue pinstripe unlike the one depicted below (I'm always a fan of a more interesting jersey piece).
I also grabbed this Quad Swatch card from 2009 UD Ballpark Collection. I couldn't pass up a single card with jersey pieces from four great players from the same team that all helped the Red Sox win the Series in 2007. I don't really root for the Red Sox too much anymore, but I was still rooting for them in 2007 and I collect all four of these players, so I was happy with the find. Some of these quad patch cards have strange combinations of players, but this one makes a lot of sense.
Let me know what you think, and in the meantime I'll keep enjoying other people's posts of 2011 Topps.
Still no 2011 in your area yet? I finally found single packs tonight @ Walmart. I already have a nice stack of doubles so if you end up building the set I can probably help your out.
ReplyDeleteNo man, I have been searching so diligently too. I don't plan on building the entire set, but I do plan on building the Met and Cub team sets from Series 1 and 2.
ReplyDeleteIt may sound strange, but I think I am going to get a hobby box of opening day, open it on opening day, and build that entire set instead of the flagship.
I still want to grab a blaster of 2011 Series one though, as soon as it gets into the stores around here.
