Jose Bautista on Twitter

And what was not my big surprise this morning when I saw I had a Twitter notification stating that here, Mister Jose Bautista (@JoeyBats19) was now following me.

I confess he's not a player in my radar, but I know he's good. Just not stating nothing obvious for me to follow his career or collect his cards.

But I think after this follow, random or not, I'm starting to pay more attention to his cards.

That's the way I like it!

I saw this image in a @MLB tweet and I just couldn't stop looking at it.

What a wallpaper!

This images make me feel even more sad that I cannot watch MLB games on TV anymore...

An other trade line Yankee

I've just posted the Casey McGehee card I got from 2012 Topps Series One hobby pack a few days ago and now I just read on twitter that he's a Yankee in a last-minute-trade with the Brewers! Now we have a replacement for Alex Rodriguez 3B vacant.

Got much more happy with this sign than Ichiro if I must say. And here is his 2010 Topps Series Two card. Hope to get his Update Series card in pinstrips but without photoshop.

Relic hits

I'm new to this sports trading cards thing and all this relic and super-hyper-mega cards, like the numbered auto plus relic cards is a bit lunatic.

Panini stickers are all the same. So when I get a base card, the most common one I'm that happy!

But then I see all these special cards people get all the time and show on Twitter that makes me think I really live too far away from this world.
I like relic cards and I do have a couple of them and for sure I look for them in every pack I buy but I never get sooooooo lucky like those collectors. But probably is just because I cannot buy boxes and packs like them.

All these Bowman madness  of super cards I don't get it. If people only care about relic super 1/1 cards why produce other kinds?
The exclusiveness Topps got from MLB is a sign of this. More inflation cards. People only caring about super relic cards and the other base products loosing their quality because Topps only care about the premium products where they can get more $$$.

None the less here is one of my relic cards, a Bobby Abreu 2004 All-Star game used jersey. (I believe in them saying is an authentic one ;))
