Ichiro card #35 2004 Upper Deck Diamond Collection #77

  • I like the green on the border.  I think Topps had a green border a year or 2 previous that looked good as well.
  • 3 years, 662 hits.  I don't think we'll see anyone achieve that feat again, at least in my lifetime.
  • 44 cents for the cheapest copy of this card on COMC is a pretty good deal for an Ichiro card.
  • Game #35 in Toronto sees Ichiro go 2 for 5 to bring his average back to .340   Ichiro's hit streak is now 17 games and the M's have gone 12-5 during the streak.  Oh, and they beat the Jays 7-2 in the first of a 3 game set.

Ichiro card #30 2004 Upper Deck Diamond Collection Pro Sigs Silver #42

  • I prefer this to the blue (base) version I showed earlier today.  It's a lot easier to see the lettering and it just looks better in my opinion.
  • I imagine if the base version is just over $1, this would probably be around $2.50?  Didn't see any copies on COMC or on ebay.  I guess I don't have to worry too much about it since I already have it in hand.
  • Game #30 is Ichiro's 2nd consecutive 2 hit game in Canada.   This time he hits a double and a triple, scores twice and drives in 2 more in a 7-5 win.   His hit streak is now 12 games.

Ichiro card #29 2004 Upper Deck Diamond Collection Pro Sigs #42

  • Any Ichiro card is a good card to add to the collection, but it makes me wonder if that's a real signature on the front.  I know it's not hard signed, but it does look like something that I could accomplish.
  • Two copies of this card currently on COMC, $1.24 to $1.50 is the range.  Not bad.  I still need the Gold version which is at $9.50 right now.
  • Game #29 for Ichiro is his first outside of the US as a MLB player.  He goes 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored in an 8-3 loss to the Jays.  The 2 hits increase his hitting streak to 11 games.
