Come back soon Ike!

Mets fans are still holding their collective breaths that Ike Davis' next exam will show enough improvement to warrant removing the boot he is currently wearing for his bone bruise so he can get back to helping the Mets right after the all-star break.

While waiting for good news on Ike, I grabbed my first Ike Davis relic card.

This is a 2011 Topps Heritage Clubhouse Collection card.  I traditionally have not been a fan of the Topps Heritage relics, but I like this one.  I'm not sure if it is just that it is Ike Davis, if I like the image on the card, or if the wood boarder just works well in the 2011 set (maybe it reminds me of the 1987 topps set, which was my favorite as a kid).  I'm also happy that it is a gray swatch, since it seems to fit well with the rest of the card despite the fact that Ike is depicted in a home uni.

Anyway, I was happy to grab it and since 2011 has been a good year for Ike Davis cards I've added a bunch to my collection!
