Ichiro card #37 2007 Topps Updates & Highlights #UH279

• Is that a right cross I'm seeing from Chase Utley?  Of course it isn't, but it's an interesting looking photo as it appears that Ichiro is backing away from Utley.
• The back is kind of boring, just comparing the stats of the 2 players from the 2006 season.  Of course by the time this was released 2007 was likely already done.
• This is also the first card from 2007 Topps that I've featured on this blog.
• Market watch:  7 copies of this card currently on COMC, anywhere from 88 cents to $1.25.  The only copy I could find on ebay was the gold parallel, listed at $3.25.
• Career game #37.  Ichiro finishes off the sweep in Toronto with a 3 for 4 day, 3 runs scored, a double and a triple.  The 3 game sweep sees Ichiro hit .600 against the Jays, with an OPS of 1.647.  He came to Canada with a .338 average, and left with a .362.   Nice exchange rate!
