butler?
dejesus?

 

[Sly]

Looks like Beltran to me.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Looks like Beltran to me.

+1 of course numberonemetfan must have thought the same thing. Either the artist just decided he wanted to picture Beltran in the KC uni, or the artist drew someone else, in which case he/she was way off of anyone that I can think of

My first thought was David DeJesus as well.

Well him and Beltran look a lot alike but I figured the artist would go for a current royal

I just received this redemption and I was hoping to list the card.

Zack Greinke :?: Any thoughts? He is the only Royal listed on Beckett
2009 Topps Update Sketch Cards Zack Greinke

Send an email to Randy Martinez. He's the artist. Met him a few times and I'm sure he'll get back to you with a response. He has a website where you should be able to find his contact info.

Zach Greinke isn't a left handed batter.

I first thought DeJesus.

If I was him, I surely wouldnt be happy getting an email asking who I drew thats for sure.

But with that being said, what does it say about the artwork when no one knows who the player is eventhough the answer can only come from a pool of about five players?

Watch it be Wally Joyner :lol:

Randy's a good guy. As long as it isnt worded rudely, I'm sure he wont be offended.

 

[HaiDog]

It's official. The player is David Dejesus. I just emailed him and he was very quick to reply.

This is at least the 10th or so thread like this. Why didn't Topps indicate on the cards who the player was?

Because that would make perfect sense and Topps isnt in THAT business.

Kind of like printing the "Topps autograph" logo nearly invisible on BC autos and not having that 3M sticker on the back.

Or like printing "Refractor" on SOME BC Refractor cards.

Or like printing "refractor" on cards which are not base Refractors.

Or having Ruth in a 2010 Braves uniform with eye black, wrist bands and batting gloves.

Or this pathetic excuse for a card. A 36 year old RETIRED Cuban in a product loaded and known for 18-21 year old draft picks. A product which is largely broken by prospectors. This ORANGE sold for $1.81......ORANGE I SAID.

I pulled a gold ref of him out of my xmas packs. :lol:

I do own an orange that I bought for cheaper than $1.81 though.

I mention this card because I also had the "thrill" of getting one but theres a funny story to go with it.

Going against my better judgment, I decided to open a case of this crap product and a box or two in, I got that mess of a card.

Then, a customer FROM CUBA who COLLECTS CUBAN PLAYERS and loves the WBC walks into my store. I offer him the card for $5 and he laughs saying why would he buy it since Lazo is retired.

I wound up trading the card for, I kid you not, a couple of hot chocolates.

That card convinced me to leave the rest of the boxes in that case sealed.
