A couple of random shiny cards of minor leaguers

2017 Panini Elite Extra Edition Jose Miguel Fernandez #145 [$1.50 plus $1.00 s/h] - a base card is serial #'d 133/999, this features a Cuban who played at AA last year, then released by the Dodgers and picked up by the Angels this off-season.

2017 Panini Elite Extra Edition Jonah Todd #196 [$1.50] - this Purple parallel card, serial #'d 137/200 features a minor leaguer in the Angels' system.

A 6th round pick out of Auburn - Todd made his pro debut last year and may play in the Cal League this upcoming season.

2010 Bowman Platinum Jerry Sands Purple

I think I feel a little buyer's remorse because I bought the card for a dollar but I had to pay another $2.50 for shipping / handling - late in 2010, I wasn't able to trade for a Bowman Chrome retail Green refractor and wanted some kind of refractor of the Los Angeles Dodgers' farmhand.

I just had to have the Platinum retail Purple refractor when I first saw it - even though I had the base version already.

From looking at Sands' minor league stats - he maybe the type of player who emerges from relative obscurity to contribute at the Major League level as a rookie star or be the next Billy Ashley FWIW.
