1 pack of Bowman Sterling

[rebelpawn]

Only going to break one pack this year, just not impressed with the overall checklist but anyway here's the goods

Koji Uehara REF #/199

Matzek is a local guy so that's cool but not really that much to see here.
Thanks for looking

Matzek is solid. Nice.

Is that Patel guy one of the people the Pirates signed from India??? I can't imagine he'll ever actually amount to anything, but it's kind of a cool story behind the card!! I may have to 'chase' it, or keep an eye out on the 'bay!

Wait a minute, spending $50 a pack (or whatever) to find this card would be ludicrous... I just bought it for $1.85 on ebay Kind of a neat addition, I guess.

Patel's wikipedia entry:

Dinesh Patel (born Lucknow, India, May 8, 1989) is a right-handed baseball pitcher playing in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Along with Rinku Singh, he is the first Indian national ever to sign a contract with a major American sports club.[1]

Patel and Singh had never thrown a baseball before besting over 37,000 competitors in The Million Dollar Arm, an Indian reality television show designed to find new baseball talent.[2]

Never even thrown a baseball before the show?? Ha!! Absurd that this guy is included in a high end product... Now I just gotta track down an auto of the other guy, Singh... for some reason his cards are selling for a bit more.

I think it's a roll of tape, but it does kind of look like that.
