I ordered and opened a box of 2015 Stadium Club. Not being that familiar with contemporary sets I thought I'd come closer to having a complete set when I added in the cards I already had. But I guess I'll just keep digging.
I'm not going to post any regular cards for the '15 SC set. they've been all over the blogs for a year now. But when I get something I think is worth scanning it'll show up here.
The highlight of the box by far was the Eric Davis autograph I put at the top. I always enjoyed watching him play for the Reds and was very happy that he brought his talents to the Orioles during his 'second career'. Davis of course fought and defeated colon cancer at an all-too-young age and returned to the game after missing the 1995 season.
The other auto was this one:
Not only do I not know who he is but that's a very, very lazy sig. A waste of cardboard and coating.
I got a handful of the various subsets. I got two or three of the die-cut cards. I'd rather take a stick in the eye than mess with those things.
These two True Colors cards aren't bad. Shiny, multi-dimensionalish (I made up a new word?) and very different than anything else in the box. A kind of 1992 vibe for me. And I don't mind a Mays card. And anything is better than die-cut.
I got more dupes than I counted on so they are off to a couple of SC collectors. I'm hitting the TriStar show this weekend to 'Tri' and fill a few holes in this set.
Your two signed cards highlight an all too common difference between older/retired players and today's guys.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the very same thing! Also, your Eric Davis autograph sure is neat.
DeleteNice pull. I didn't bust any hobby boxes of SC this year... and my only regret is missing out on cool autographs like Eric Davis.
ReplyDeleteRymer got DFA'd by the Padres this winter and traded to the Brewers. Maybe Rymer has some other motivational issues other than signing his name lazily.
ReplyDeleteI looked him up. Seems he was in 50s/60s as far as prospects go a few years ago. But his numbers sure don't impress very much. Who knows why he was included in the set.
