Blue,Gold and......Copper????

Here are a few recent pick ups.  Like I always say I am a sucker for serial numbers!!!

2010 Topps Gold Carl Crawford 1156/2010

2010 Topps Opening Day Blue Carl Crawford 1831/2010

The backs, is anyone else mad about the cheap looking numbering this year on the back of the Topps product.  What happened to the embossed gold foil?  What happened to the gold foil?  These are some lousy ink jet printed serial numbers.  They are a little smaller on the Opening Day card as you can see in the scan, which I think looks a little better by the way.  I still think it is garbage that Topps has gotten cheap on these parallel cards this year!!!!

2007 Topps Copper Aki Iwamura 55/56

I remember when this came out in '07 you could not touch one on ebay for less than about $40.  I got this one for less then $5 shipped.  Good things come to those who wait!!!!!  I never understood why COPPER would be more rare then the gold, but I guess that is the way they wanted it.

The Back....  Notice the gold foil stamping....  Classy!!!!

Well that is all I have time for tonight.  I still have to get these up on my Zistle.com account.  Please voice your opinion of the way Topps is doing the serial numbers this year.  I think it sucks!!!

The Card Addict

Card of the Day!

I know what your saying to yourself right about now....  What a creative title The Card Addict came up with for this post!  All I can say to that is Thank You!  Here is a card that I recently bought from EBAY.  For some reason I have really been hitting the Bay hard this month.  I have a problem.  I admit it.  Is that the first step?

Carl Crawford will be my favorite player hopefully for most of 2010.  I say this because I hope he makes it the whole year without getting traded.  I don't really expect him to be a Ray in 2011 so I will just have to see where he goes to determine if he will still be at the top of my list.  So for now CC is my main man and here is the newest item in my growing collection:

2008 Bowman Sterling GOLD 22/50

The back!

I like it for a few different reasons, number one: it is shiny.  Number two: it is numbered in gold foil.  Number three: it is a refractor.  Number four:  it is now part of my collection.

I can go and add it to my zistle.com account now and cross it off the list.  Thanks for checking out my blog.  If you want to set up a trade with me for your old tired Carl Crawford cards, email me at: jmeloy1218@gmail.com
