Player Collector contest thread: Zach Duke entry

I have always been a softie for left handed pitchers and Zach Duke is my favorite. He is from close to my home town in Texas and I have been following him since before he made his ML debut. I have been to several games to watch him pitch even though I am no where near Pittsburgh. My first game I got to see Zach pitch live in was in St. Louis and he gave me the ball he was warming up with, 2 years later I got him to sign the same ball in Colorado against the Rockies. I didn't get a chance to scan all of my new cards that I have picked up which includes the complete national chicle rainbow minus the plates. Without further adooo here is my Zach Duke collection...
