Look a like - Buhner and Mantle

I don't know why but sometimes I think I have a players card but it's not that player.

I know that in 1988 Mantle wouldn't be playing but when I first looked at Jay Buhner Donruss card I thought I was seeing things and it was in fact a Mantle SP way before the mad Topps SP fashion.

I think it might be the pose, the way he's standing and preparing the swing but is also something in the face that immediately makes me think Buhner and Mantle just simple look-a-like.

2010 Topps Opening Day value box

I know that the OD cards are something to get away from. They are just like the Topps series 1 cards of that year. Well, but since I don't have any 2010 Topps series 1 cards I got this box with no problems.

They have funny inserts for the OD set. That's all. I still get all excited with my glow-in-the-dark card I got from 2011 OD set. I know..my kiddo side still glows in the dark.

Other thing that I don't like is the OD logo. The Topps logo is enough. It obstructs the photo.

But still, I purchased the box from my usual eBay seller.

I just went through the checklist of 2010 OD and found this card (found it in the A Cardboard Problem):

 

 And if I get this card I'll send a bonus card for whoever comes and leave a comment.

I wish...
