I like the Roger Clemens variation where he might be the star pupil at spring training camp - as other pitchers are huddled around him.
The image on the Randy Johnson variation looks like it was taken at the same time as his 1992 Pinnacle Sidelines subset - I almost thought it was the same image.
The Jacob deGrom and Glavine are nice images of pitchers doing some hitting and baserunning - I think I missed making a keeper out of a copy of the deGrom card last year and was glad to find another.
The images Giancarlo Stanton, Dustin Pedroia and Rickey Henderson may not be as unique as the others - but they still end up as binder material for my decade stars collection.
This isn't a photo variation but a rookie year factory set variation of New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso - maybe this a type of card that looks good enough as a cheap pick up, but a 'raw card' that might not be good enough to be graded by a third party.If the card was gradeable and gets a PSA 10 - it might be a $35-$40 card.
I'm still a sucker for photo variations & I would've definitely bought all of those. Especially fond of the deGrom, which I'm only now discovering I need for my "pitchers at the plate" mini-collection.
ReplyDeleteI mostly hate photo variations, mostly because it is done too much. And because I can't usually tell just looking at a card in a box if it is a variation. However, some of the great pics on them are totally worth it.
