My 'under the radar' blog featuring my baseball card collecting endeavors and hopefully some of my autographs collected in-person / through-the-mail.

My 2018 Topps Stadium Club finds - my Top 10
A subjective exercise of picking out my favorite cards after grabbing 26 of them at a card shop stop for National Baseball Card Day - in particular these stood in among others considered [for full disclosure, a follow up post will be made to highlight those other cards].
#163 Ryan Zimmerman - it's a butt shot without Zimmerman's face on his own card, but his and the fans' reactions tell me all I need to know about the 'awesomeness' of this one.
#9 Zack Godley - pool shot
#190 Ian Happ
#263 Willie Calhoun - full extension
#56 Jon Lester - a veteran star pitcher hitting
#79 Mike Clevinger - retro uniform, retro hair; a 'fun' factoid about Clevinger's professional baseball career was he was originally an Angels minor leaguer.
#107 Keon Broxton - the angle makes things seem a bit more majestic.
#209 Dillon Peters - The Dime Box mention makes this a keeper.
#167 Dexter Fowler - the player is obscured but the horizontal card allows to get more of the ballpark in the picture.
#53 Jake Lamb - a play at the play card that belongs to a third baseman and not the catcher.
The pool shot is pretty cool. Hadn't seen that card yet.
ReplyDeleteHadn't seen that Clevinger card yet. Like the retro uniform!
