Donovan Tate


San Diego Padres

We have a Boras sighting. :mrgreen:

Hopefully they'll give him a Bowman Chrome Draft auto as well.

 

[Jaypers]

A few other names I would have liked to have seen were:

Michael Burgess, Kentrail Davis, Justin Jackson, Luke Bailey, Mychal Givens, Ian Krol, Keyvius Sampson, Matt Davidson, Slade Heathcott, Kyrell Hudson, Jacob Turner, Everett Williams

 

[Jaypers]

Ahhh, I just found something more. Surprised you didn't post this, Chris.


"The autographed AFLAC cards, which are sequentially numbered to 248 or less, are additional hits in the product above and beyond the guaranteed one Chrome Prospect Autograph per box."

EDIT: And one other observation I've noticed: Card # 85 (autographed Bowman Chrome Draft) Chad Jenkins (Blue Jays) has been replaced with Steven Matz (Mets).

This is helping me edge closer to preordering a case. Here's hoping that the aflacs fall two per case like last year instead of the advertised one per.

Gotta admit, Topps is doing their best to make it harder for me not to snag any wax.

But they're not quite there yet.

What will he Tate AFLAC end at if he has no other autos in 2009 and he mashes in the AFL. I would say 200-300?

 

[All In Cards]

and I only preordered 3 cases, guess I should bump that order

 

[uniquebaseballcards]

The goose reminds me of the Drake's Cakes Cards from the 80's:

Tate isn't really playing in the AFL, he is playing in the Instructional league.

Ah okay, but with the hype around him this card will end pretty high IMO since he may not have a chrome auto. If this is his only auto in 2009, than look out.

Jiovanni Miller ? ::facepalm::
Nice to see Tate is getting an auto, i hope i'll be able to snag one.

Tate is not playing in Instruct either. .He has a hairline fracture of his ***** (NO PUBLIC) bone.. OUCH... ::facepalm::
