A while back I got a really great bubbler full of cardboard from Brian, formerly of Pirates Treasure Room and now the proprietor of Collecting Cutch. He sent a ton of great stuff and I've highlighted my favorites below.
My first SuperFractor! This beaut is the Super for Russell's 2009 Bowman Chrome offering, which just so happens to be one of the best Russ cards out there in terms of the photo they chose. Play At The Plate would be proud. Here's the full shot of that play between Martin and Nyjer Morgan, commemorated on Russ' 2009 regular Bowman card and seen on this 1/1 Black Plate I picked up eons ago. I might get this graded just for giggles.
Gorgeous! This sweet logo patch-auto, numbered 3/5, hails from 2011 Topps Marquee and the Acclaimed Impressions subset. I'm always thrilled to add a high-end Bison John Hancock to the collection. If it also brings with it a sweet piece of the "Los Angeles" from a Blue Crew uniform, it's icing on the already sweet cake.
Here's a triple auto, numbered 19/25, out of the sticker dumpster fire that was 2012 UD SP Signature Edition. It also features Andrew McCutchen and Shane Victorino; I don't think I'd ever use the word "superstar" to describe Victorino. Really good to great for stretches, yes. But superstar, nope.
Three more new additions to the Mattycakes' PC.
Brian added a cool 10 cards to my Kid K PC. The above jumbo is my favorite.
The Sega CardGen with the old-school Brooklyn throwback is just nails.
ManBearSeag! I dig the 1967 Topps set so the Heritage is right up my alley.
Vintage Koufax! There is literally little better. Drysdale came along for the ride too!
A Gerrit Cole auto appeared. (Go Bruins!)
As did a cool Gil Hodges numbered out of 99.
And some miscellaneous Koufax cards, with the silver GQ mini #'d /199.
A pair of less super-fractor-y Russ cards. That Martin Konami Mini is awesome.
And finally, a lot of random goodness. Look, that famous Campy pose again.
Red-themed Kenley and Duke Gypsy mini are the highlights.
An endless amount of thanks Brian!
Pretty epic package. Congrats on the superfractor!
