Andrew McCutchen card #95 2014 Bowman Blue #150

  • Great looking card I was able to add on my last COMC order.  84 cents for a card numbered to 500 isn't bad in my opinion.
  • Added this card to the Trading Card Database.  This will move me into a tie for 7th as far as McCutchen images go on the site.  Still doing my part...
  • Career homer #95 was the first of 2 dingers hit on 7/22/2013 against the Nationals Dan Haren.  Both of the homers were 2 run shots propelling the Pirates to a 4-0 lead.  The Bucs hung on to win 6-5.

Brett Lawrie card #61 2014 Bowman Red Ice #178

  • I don't know what possessed me to spend money to chase this card; I'm guessing it was the chance to own a limited copy of the card.
  • For a card limited to just 25 copies, I spent $3.25 to have this card in my collection.   I'm pretty cheap so to spend over 3 bucks on one card, there had to have been a really good reason.
  •  I do like the red ice look though, it looks as though you're on a 70's acid trip.
  • Added this card as well to the trading card database, it is serial #'d 18/25.

Brett Lawrie card #60 2014 Bowman blue parallel #178

  • Serial #'d 113/500.  Copies of this card are available right now on COMC for as low as 50 cents.  Limited runs aren't worth what they used to be...
  • Added this card to the trading card database.  I was a little surprised the other day when I found out it wasn't there.
  • The blue border is really sharp, a little bit darker and it would have complemented the Jays uniform really well.  
  • I criticized the photos of Lawrie in this morning's post, but catching the ball in mid-flight and having it at the very top of the card was very good indeed.

Brett Lawrie card #59 2014 Bowman #178

  • This is the base version of the 3 Bowman cards I'm going to show today of Brett.  I like the design, but companies have to figure out how to get other types of photos into the mix.  Too many of Brett's cards feature him throwing.
  • Bio on the back:  "Sister played softball at University of Washington"  Danielle Lawrie was part of the '09 women's softball national championship team for UW.
  • I only found out today that Brett had another sister, Nicole, that passed away when she was only 5 years old.
