Fancy New Cole

2013 Topps Chrome Gerrit Cole Silver Signature Auto /25

Last week I decided to spoil myself with a few new Gerrit Cole autos.  I have a few variations of this auto already from Chrome, but this is the lowest numbered version I have.  The signature looks more sharp in person as the glare from the card makes it look off.  Cole has been one of the few bright spots for the Pirate rotation as the rest of the rotation has been inconsistent.

      Thanks Brad. I think a lot of his autos were redemptions. A bunch have been hitting eBay the last few weeks.

    If only he had signed with the Yankees when they drafted him. Although given the Yankees' luck with starters he'd probably be out of baseball by now.

      Ha. I'm thankful he is with the Pirates. The Pirates don't have a great pitching history. Hopefully he can develop into a frontline ace for a long time.

    Really cool card. I agree with Zippy...damn kid wanted to go to college instead of sign. What a jerk.

      Thanks Greg. It was pricey, but the cheapest I've seen of that variety. So many hit eBay at the same time that this one may have slipped through the cracks a little.
