Well it's taken me 13 years but I finally got in the final card that I needed, The Manny home run version (#/25). Ive only seen one other one and even though I probably overpaid, I'm so stoked to finally be done!

I finished the Pedro set a few years ago and have been waiting for this day for a while.

So off any that you might have!!

Love that Pedro on the Red Sox with obvious Met pieces, lol

The card is from 2001 and they aren't jersey swatches but pieces of bases. The back of the card has a picture of the base that the pieces came from. I wish companies still did that.

Even though it's "just" a base, those home run cards are still one of the coolest game-used sets out there. Topps needs to come out with a card with a big swatch of a base and have the players sign it like they do jerseys and bat barrels. The basic version could be signed on the plain white cut-up base and each player could have a limited version /5 that is signed on the outside of the base that was actually touched and shows more texture and use.

I loved when Donruss had the picture of the items - was that only done in 2001? Congrats on getting this done!
