That Kemp Five Star Is Where It's At.

When affordable singles can be had from eBay, that is. It took some time -- especially considering these held redemption status for a couple of years before the live ones started to hit the interwebs -- but I was finally able to land Matt Kemp's base auto from 2012 Topps Five Star.

Numbered 030/150, a brilliant and on-card blue John Hancock accompanies a great action shot of The Bison, although it would have been nice if his glove was not partially cut out of the photo. This bad boy was less than a blaster and joins the other Five Star singles I've picked up of Matt.
