Andrew McCutchen card #18 2012 Topps Chrome #38


  • Scratch and dent.  If a can were like this at the grocery store, they might be inclined to sell it to you at a discount.  The scan on this Cutch card kind of reminded me of that old policy.
  • Seeing Andrew running on this card reminds me that he should be running more in my opinion.  Stealing bases was a big part of his game earlier in his career, so far in 2016 he has 2.  
  • This card lists for $1.50 in Beckett magazine.  I'm pretty sure that I didn't pay anywhere near that.  I'm guessing that I picked this up off of Sportlots for about 25 cents.

Brett Lawrie card #11 2012 Topps Chrome purple refractor #173


  • Have there been too many colors used on parallels over the past few years?  Yes, absolutely.  Have I ever met a purple bordered card I didn't like?  Nope...
  • I get that blue bordered cards are associated with Wal-Mart and red bordered cards are associated with Target.  Those make sense.   How does Toys-R-Us get purple?
  • That might be one of the last Lawrie photos without tattoos on his arms.  When you start seeing 2013 card photos of Brett, you'll see what I mean

Brett Lawrie card #10 2012 Topps Chrome #173


  • I'm beginning to wonder if my scanner is the problem.  It turned the border from silver to a grayish black...
  • 10th card I've posted for Lawrie on the blog, and not one Topps base card yet.   Hmmmm
  • Brett's sister Danielle is an accomplished softball pitcher, and had her #15 retired by the University of Washington Huskies.
