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!
That's a cool auto for your collection, I have thought about picking one up myself but haven't pulled the trigger. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks man!
DeleteVery cool piece
ReplyDeleteIt is unique. Hopefully I can find the Bourdain too.
Deletenice pick up as I finally acquired my own copy. We are on the same hunt for Bourdain though so i am sure we will cross paths on some eBay auction.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha
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.
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHis nice signature was my first thought when I saw the auto too.
DeleteThat's an awesome card!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric!
DeleteWhen I think of an Allen & Ginter autograph for somebody with the surname "Andrews" I think of Erin Andrews.
ReplyDeleteBut that card's pretty cool too. Hope you obtain the other cards you're looking for too.
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....
DeleteI was hoping for a Dr. Andrew elbow bone chip relic, identified as not being from any particular surgical procedure.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I wonder if a stethoscope relic would be like getting a bat barrel.
