Pirates Superfractor Day

[morgoth]

Pedro's first Bowman Chrome Super. Hope he brings the thunder in the second half as well.

 

[jimfalbo21]

That's sweet!! What would you be looking for for it? Where did you get it?

 

[carlitoson]

Nice card. Congrats!
(I wish he'd sign his redemptions)

 

[VandyDan]

Nice. I remember walking to my computer to make an offer on it, only to see you had bought it.

I also want him to sign his redemptions. A marquee museum and a sepia triple threads. Topps has insinuated in email that they've had no convo with him. Ugh.

Sweet super. If you ever want to move it, let me know.

 

[morgoth]

Yes I wish he would sign them as well, is his Razor deal screwing this up or does he not care? I held off buying because of my history with redemptions, and waited until they were live, glad I waited.

I paid 285 I believe for it and I have his 2011 Topps Canary 1/1 as well. I wish I would have gotten the diamond embedded 1/1. I can't remember seeing the Topps Chrome super sale.

He had a pretty damn good recovery from a awful April and part of May, hit a HR already after the AS break and it was a moon shot.

 

[VandyDan]

Pretty sure it is a matter of topps screwing up. I asked them this on May 15.:

"I am currently waiting for a 2011 Marquee Museum Collection autograph /10
of Pedro Alvarez as well as a Triple Threads Futures Phenom Sepia Autograph
of Pedro Alvarez.

I am wondering if these will be filled, and if you have been in contact
with Mr. Alvarez for getting these signed.

I am not interested at this point in replacing them, just wondering if
there is any update. I received 'late notify' notice on January 18th. The
numbers in question are XXXX and XXXX"

They sent me: "Unfortunately, we are still waiting on Alvarez to sign, and we do not have an approximate timetable as to when he will sign"

Might mean he has them and hasn't signed? Might mean they haven't send them. Hopefully someday. His sig will look damn nice on those Marquee cards.

 

[morgoth]

I agree, I noticed he isn't in any Topps sets this year with an auto, so maybe he isn't returning them or his season last year was so bad they gave up

 

[gmarutiak]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one waiting on Alvarez to sign his Topps redemptions. I'm waiting on his Future Phenoms auto from 2011 Triple Threads, and, more importantly, his dual auto with McCutchen from 2011 Triple Threads. There's nothing Topps could give me (realistically) that I want as much as these two cards!

 

[morgoth]

He hit a three run bomb tonight but Hanarahan blew it

 

[jimfalbo21]

Grilli actually blew it

 

[morgoth]

Sorry you are right, and he has been our best reliever too......

 

[Slette]

Your signature still rules.

 

[morgoth]

Your signature still rules.

Thanks, I have the set complete but haven't scanned the rest of the cards yet, I might do that this week.
