- I was quite shocked after the scan popped up on my screen, it scanned a lot lighter shade of purple than what the card actually is. It almost looks like the pink parallels that Topps has used the past few years.
- Career chase: "With 73 RBI, Lawrie is 2,154 away from Hank Aaron's all time record of 2,227". I think it would have been smarter to keep stats like this to guys that had played a few years in the bigs, instead of a 3rd year pro like Lawrie was at the time of release. The line actually seems ridiculous, right?
- Brett hasn't played since July 21st this year, so it appears that he's going to finish the '16 season with a .248/12/36 line, with his strikeout total being his 2nd highest for a season.
- Lawrie is arbitration eligible in 2017, it'll be interesting to see what kind of deal he asks for...

- It's almost as if this card was part of a nuclear experiment. Man is that bright! I don't know if I've ever had a refractor scan as bright as this card did.
- The common refractor from the '13 Chrome set lists for about $1.25. I downloaded my purchase history off of COMC (a handy tool) and found out that I paid 39 cents for this. Cheapskate...
- I also found out that the Andrew McCutchen card from '13 Chrome has a VAR listed. It says "with glove" and lists for $50. A holy shit discovery for a McCutchen PC person such as myself. Oh well...

- First of 4 posts today all featuring similar looking cards of the tattooed one. There's a reason for the 4 posts, you'll find out on the last one so bear with me.
- Love the way this scanned. It almost looks like the regular black parallels from base Topps. The Jays logo on the lower right pops even more (for me anyways) because of this.
- Career HR #24 for Brett came off of Boston's Andrew Miller, 5/12/2013. I knew that Miller has pitched really well for the Yankees the past couple of seasons, so I did a quick run of his stats. The HR that Brett hit was one of 3 that Miller gave up in '13, in 30 IP. His career stats have him at 1 HR every 11 IP, which over 200 innings is 18 HR in a season. 3 of the 4 earned runs Miller has conceded this year have been homers.
