Andrew McCutchen card #90 2010 Bowman Throwback #BT4

  • Part of the recent COMC order, I didn't think that this was a bad pick up at 89 cents.  I've always liked the Bowman set from 1992 (92-93 for hockey), even with some of the glamour shots.
  • I was quite surprised that this hadn't been scanned into the Trading Card Database yet.  I took care of that this evening.
  • Career homer #90 was hit 6/22/2013 against the Angels Jerome Williams.  The Pirates were already ahead by 4, and won comfortably 6-1.  Francisco Liriano pitched 6.2 innings for his 6th win of the year.

Andrew McCutchen card #9 2010 Bowman Gold # 65


  • The 2nd of 2 Bowman 2010 cards I have of McCutchen.   Still need the blue, orange and red parallels.  None of the other parallels were listed on COMC as of this writing.
  • I really like the gold parallel for this card, the border is solid with nothing fancy happening.  A far cry better than the gold parallels from '16 Topps....
  • Career home run #9 for Andrew was hit 8/25/2009 off of then Phillie J.A. Happ.  It was the 2nd of 5 round trippers that Andrew would hit over a 7 day period, which included 2 off of Reds nemesis Johnny Cueto.

Andrew McCutchen card #3 2010 Bowman #65


  • Great shot of McCutchen hitting, if it really is Andrew.  Can't see his face at all.  I like the Bowman design for 2010, the black borders are always great, and the thin red border inside doesn't take away from the photo as well.
  • Would love to see more teams go back to the sleeveless jersey style with the T-shirts underneath.  
  • April 22nd, 2015 would be the 2nd straight hitless game for Andrew, dropping his average to .204.  He would finish April with a .194 average, and all of Pittsburgh wondering what's going on.  He would call himself and his team out in a famous interview, and wound up hitting .306 for the rest of the season, finishing with 21 HR and a .292 average.
