Cool Combo

2005 UD Artifacts dual auto/jersey Brian Giles and Jason Bay /10

I've owned this card since 2006 and I'm glad I got it when I did.  I'm sure I paid a lot more than what it is worth now, but I haven't seen another hit eBay since.  It features the best trade the Pirates made during their 20 year losing streak.  Giles was an absolute beast during his tenure as a Pirate.  Trading at peak value the Buccos moved Giles to the Padres for a package that included Jason Bay and Oliver Perez.  Bay would go on  to win rookie of the year and make several All Star games.  If I would ever take time to create a top ten list of favorite cards I own this one would most likely make the short list.  

Thanks for checking out the blog!

    Sweet looking design, those low numbered UD artifacts cards are really hard to find

    That is a nice looking card. I have seen quite a few of the dual relics but not with the Autos. Great card and I can see why it is one of your favorites.
