Nice! Hope it shows up

Card arrived yesterday, though the seller appeared to make a couple dollars off me from shipping.Topps hit a home run this year with the blue and red wave cards.Does anyone know if they will continue them in Bowman Chrome or Bowman Draft, or if this is it like the canaries?

Nice haul, although it always looks like Molina signs his name backwards.Looks like Molina Yadier on the stickers.The Bowman's Best red is arguably his nicest rookie IMO.

Yeah, pretty much all 2004 Yadi's are signed backwards. Only one signed YM is the Ultimate.

I agree on the Bowman's best, gotta love the on-card aspect of it.

Not only that, but the cards are well designed, and the red ink really looks sharp on them.Only bad thing is the borders are really sensitive on them.

God this card is sexy. Been looking for the Matheny forever.

Made a trade for these from a board member.Bottom card is one of these sweet acetate cards I thought the world of back in the '90s.

It's amazing how sweet it is for just being simple colored parallel.

Isn't there a blue 1/1 too?

We were thinking about going to a Springfield game again this year, was wondering if you knew why the hell the Sunday games in June are night games?Could easily make it back same day if it was an afternoon game, but night games complicate matters when I don't have the next day off.Supervisor is starting to grumble when I take time off now...

 

[SINFULONE]

Did anyone like any of the Cardinals draft picks?I was hoping the Nationals with pass on the Giolito guy, but didn't happen that way.

No 1/1 in 2004. The blues were in 05. Not sure about the night deal, may just be to beat the heat a little.

I like our 1st rounder and the 11th rounder sounds interesting.

There is currently a Descalso autographed bat on eBay. It says the bat is game used but I do not believe it was used by Descalso. First problem with it is it is a blonde bat, from all of the pics I have seen and videos he has always used a natural handle, black barrel bat (not counting his 07 card, that may have been a photo bat). Also there is a ball mark where the name usually is and that I do not believe to be common with left handed hitters. I will not be bidding on it. I know he was using Max Bats in 2009 because that is when mine is from and he said that he had not used the ones with silver stickers in awhile. That was last year, He used Max bats with Gold Stickers after that and now uses Marucci.

Which 1st rounder did you like?The RHP or the OF?I also noticed they took the Arizona pitcher that shut the Tigers down in the NCAA Tournament last week in the 6th round.

Wacha, the RHP. Not wild about Shane Robinson 2.0 as a first round pick
