Argh, overpaid for this one on purpose thinking it would be Hanson or MW.

I must be reading some crazy shat lately because I cannot keep straight what is going on with him. I swear I read that since these were being "released" a year after they were announced that it was fine for them to do so. Oh well, I jumped in your boat and got an SPx the other day.

HA! UD is making me sweat with that



I think they will do the right thing and put autographs of Hanson, Beckham and MW in there.


Porcello is a long shot.

Even if they do not put him in there the redemptions still sell for what we paid for them, and you could always redeem it and get Koji and get your money back. If they make one of Hanson and Beckham, I must say I will be tempted to redeem mine.

nice photo, I always like to see something different

I was waiting for someone to compliment that photo.


I too noticed it right off the bat, and think its great.

That is a new look for these going all sideways with the good old squat technique. :lol:

Porcello won't have a card in the redemption set because he had a card in series 2. Hanson will likely have one, Weiters you would hope so, & we will get a few guys like last year that had us scratching our heads (Montanez? Richard? Gonzalez? Dickerson?)

I've got my set, 2 extra # 2's redeemed, but I'm holding my extra #4 for now...

Not only is that photo amazing, it also shows that unlike 90+% of MLBers, 'Cutch knows how to HOLD THE FREAKIN' BAT when bunting!

sorry, thats a baseball pet peeve of mine.

Is the ball coming in, or going out?

The photo is alright and would work in a larger set to mix things up, but I don't think it works in a small rookie based set. I would only use this shot on an established player that has a lot of cards. You should be able to see a player's face on his "rookie card."

Is the ball coming in, or going out?

The ball is going out based on the motion blur.

Here's hoping that #4 is an auto!

 

[UMich92]

I agree with Scuba. Love the pic just not for a rookie card.

Is it just me, or does the shadow on that card look like a guy who spent too much time with a spare sock??

:lol:
