The Surgeon

2014 Allen & Ginter Dr. James Andrews Auto

I don't stray too much from my core collections when purchasing cards, but every once in a while a card gets my attention. This years Allen & Ginter featured two such cards. When I saw the auto checklist I knew I wanted to get the James Andrews and the Anthony Bourdain. I've had the Andrews for several months as I was able to get one for a decent price. The Bourdain is going to take some time and most likely a lot of money.  After a ton of looking I still have yet to find a good deal.

I'm not sure what drew me to the Andrews so much, but it was a cool piece to add. Obviously anybody that follows the game probably has a good amount of respect for the doctor as he has given many players a second chance at their careers. 

Does anybody have the Bourdain for trade? I would be willing to hook somebody up big time for that one. 

On a side note, last night was very productive at Bob Walk the Plank headquarters. I spent a good part of the evening organizing which included around 15 bubble mailers being filled for some of my blogging friends. 

Thanks for reading!

    1. I haven't even bid on the Bourdain yet. Watched a bunch of auctions but the prices stayed high. One of these days I'll find it for a good deal.

  4. I forgot all about the Dr. Andrews auto... Definitely one that I will have to add to my collection as well. He's got a pretty clean autograph for a doctor!

    1. His nice signature was my first thought when I saw the auto too.

  5. When I think of an Allen & Ginter autograph for somebody with the surname "Andrews" I think of Erin Andrews.

    But that card's pretty cool too. Hope you obtain the other cards you're looking for too.

    1. Understandable on the Andrews. We are only human right....Usually if I hear a last name my brain will instantly go to good looking girl who has same last name. When I hear Upton I don't think Justin or BJ....

  6. I was hoping for a Dr. Andrew elbow bone chip relic, identified as not being from any particular surgical procedure.

    1. Haha. I wonder if a stethoscope relic would be like getting a bat barrel.
