The Blues were limited to 150 copies and mine is serial-numbered 030/150. The centering got knocked the most in netting a grade of 8 with the surface clocking in at 8.5. Corners picked up a 9 and edges were deemed the best at 9.5. What matters most to me is I own this beaut and it's eternally safe and sound around my clumsy hands (I've dropped my phone today once as of this typing).
I mean what's not to love about this sexy piece of cardboard? The Spring Training background; Matty just chilling on the batting cage; The Bison sporting the number 84; the chrome-y-ness of Bowman Chrome also hitting the mark; and of course the fact that it's a blue parallel with a blue signature on a Dodgers' card seals the deal.
I scanned both of these together before sending them to BGS with Penguin so I figured why not include the scan here. So pretty, whether in holders or free from plastic tombs. I hope to one day pick up at least one more of each.
Dodger blue, blue parallel, and blue ink... Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSomeday Topps will do a set where all the autos are done by team colors. All players will be captured wearing a dark colored away jersey or alternate, the borders and signature will both match the jersey color AND it will sell really well on the secondary market.
