I recently picked up a fantastically-awesome triple relic of one of my favorite non-Dodgers, Adam Dunn. I don't mention Dunn on the blog at all because he's not a guy I collect even though I like him. I even own a Reds' jersey of Dunn I received as a gift many years ago.
For just $9.99 delivered I couldn't pass up this beaut. It's super-short-printed to just 8 copies (06/08 for my copy) and features a GREAT patch with some jersey tossed in, a slice of Dunn's bat, and a piece of his jersey. The card hails from 2004 E-X Clearly Authentics, a set that has some great names to it and some awesome hits within it. The card has some nice but understated shine to it as well.
That is a pretty nice card. If you like Adam Dunn.
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly like him. When he was on the Reds, my fantasy baseball team name was "Trade Dunn for Coneys". Now that he's not on the Reds, I dislike him less.
In my mind, he has the lowest batting average ever of any qualifier in MLB history - if you would get a hit in every at bat needed to qualify, and still be the lowest, than you still win the booby prize!
I've got a nice Tim Hudson card from the same set...one of my fav patch cards.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice card. After being Adam "Done" his first year with the White Sox he had a pretty nice comeback last year. Yeah, .205 but 41 home runs is nothing to sneeze at.
