- I like that you're able to tell that the card is the blue parallel without the blue taking over the card.
- Another card added to the Trading Card Database. Trying to do my part to get the site to 2 million images (just over 132,000 to go).
- I was surprised that there wasn't any of these for sale on COMC when I looked earlier today. Don't look on ebay either, because I didn't find any there. Can't be that limited, can they?

- I think I picked this card up for around $3, and I remember being very happy about getting it for that cheap at the time.
- Serial #'d 29/199, this is another card I was able to add to the Trading Card database.
- The one big thing that really detracts me from getting a lot more of Brett's cards is the same throwing pose that is used repeatedly. Would have loved to see companies use something different for the base cards for Brett.

- Convenience > Price: Bought this at the monthly card show this past week out of a 3/$5 box. Lowest card right now is 74 cents on COMC, but seeing this at the show and knowing I needed it for the Cutch PC won out.
- Also was able to add this card to the Trading Card Database. Having luck with a few of Andrew's cards, which is surprising.
- May have to chase down the Blue and Purple variations, which are a little more pricey but the look of them will win out in the end.

- The silver foil on the logo and Andrew's name scanned out very black. But I guess that's how Bowman justified the silver designation for this parallel.
- One thing I noticed once I had this card on screen is Andrew's helmet. Don't know if that is pine tar or some other kind of gripping element on the right side, but it looks very yellowish/gold, which would be appropriate for the team's color scheme.
- Card is serial #'d 47/499. There are several other colors for this Bowman rainbow, but realistically I'd like to have the Purple (/250), Blue (/150) and Green (/99).
- I was also surprised that this wasn't already added to the Trading Card Database. That situation has been rectified.

- Was shocked to find that this card hadn't been added to the Trading Card Database. That has been taken care of...
- Love how this scanned. I've had a lot of luck the past couple of weeks with Chrome cards scanning really well for me. Not sure what I'm doing differently.
- The connection that Topps does on this card are the 20HR/20SB seasons that Cutch and Barry Bonds attained. Bonds had 4 of those as a Pirate, while Andrew is stuck at 3 because he failed to hit 20 steals each of the past 2 years.

- Chalk up another card that I was able to add to the Trading Card Database. Kind of surprised that this card wasn't on there...
- Haven't shown many die cut cards so far, so I was pleased at how well I was able to crop this scan. I usually end up doing a butcher job on die cuts.
- There are 60 cards in the Super Star Showdown insert set, 30 pairs of players. Card #SS16B is another famous #19 from that era, Steve Yzerman.
- The Sakic card is listed at $3, half of Yzerman's. Only Lemieux and Gretzky are higher than $6, at $8 and $10 respectively.
