Pineda Museum Mailday

chompsmcgee · Oct 11, 2011

Got my first Museum in the mail today and IMO the Michael Pineda card to have:

As previously mentioned, these cards are absolutely gorgeous in person. Has anyone figured out how to scan or photograph the museums to properly display their brilliance?

The Pineda instantly becomes one of my favorite PC cards. Hopefully, Topps fulfills the museum redemptions because I have a Justin Upton as well.

Thanks for looking!

How thick are these cards? maybe a camera shot will show them off better. I have yet to see one in person.

I agree, I think a camera would be better at showing them, like this:

I have no idea the actual pt but these cards are pretty thick and heavy. Definitely have a metal feel to them.

Nice mailday!

That is an absolutely fantastic looking card, but you just don't have me sold on that being the best card of his to have. I think the triple threads cards this year are brilliant. I don't know, you're probably right nevertheless I'm going to second-guess myself for a long time for not going after that wood triple threads one of one.

Beat me to it, I was going to repost this pic. They are amazing looking cards and I am glad I got mine of my PC player.

Is the border of these cards metal and does the gold on the borders cover the edges and go around to the back?

I hear ya. Really, it's all subjective and the triple threads look great, too. I've just never been a fan of TTT but the wood is pretty sweet. To me, the Museum is the best because there aren't any parallels like with chrome, TTT, and marquee. There are only 10 copies period and they are gorgeous. Those reasons sold me.

I totally agree. Got 2 of my PC guys, just need a King Felix now. Great pic of your Ethier btw!

The border is metal and the gold covers edges and does go around to the back. Scans don't do them justice as they are really stunning in person. I think it's the nicest insert in years.

aparently everybody else thinks they are the best also based on completed sales.

Its the sharp design, the super low numbering, the on card autograph, and the large player checklist which will make this one of the sets people will be trying to complete years from now.

Im debating on wether or not to buy one......only problem is its a redemption and i dont feel like waiting years for it.
