Daniel Delivers a White Whale
Might as well start big. Recently I shipped off some Dbacks to Daniel from It's Like Having My Own Cardshop and boy did he fire back. Man I love this card. Such a nice on card signature to go with a cool photo. Thanks for tracking this one down for me Daniel. I've probably lost this card via auction about 10 times.
Daniel wasn't done with just the Groat......
These Game Face Gear cards are huge. If I recall only Kendall and Giles were featured in the set. Great card!
I miss the dreads! That is what happens when you get married. Poor Cutch lost his calling card. At least it didn't effect his game. Superstitious Pirates fans were worried.
Jose Hernandez was your typical all or nothing hitter. He had great power, but boy could he strike out with the best of them. He was able to stay in baseball forever because of his versatility. The card above is a stat line parallel from 2004 Donruss. This is numbered to 251 which is Jose's career batting average.
The base parallels in UD were hard to come by. Glad to see Daniel sent me this Freddy from 2008 Series 2. These were numbered to 99
I'm a huge Diamond Kings fan. The Pirates were well represented in these sets. This is a parallel numbered to 100.
Thanks so much for the cards Daniel. The Dick Groat was such a nice surprise. I'm sure I'll have plenty of new Dbacks for you in the near future.
Thanks for reading.
Great cards, I love how Groat is choking up on the bat, you just don't see that much anymore.
ReplyDeleteOld school!

ReplyDelete*Insert future Pirate Jose Fernandez joke here
I hope he is a future Pirate! He probably makes more contact than Hernandez.
DeleteThat Groat is a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony!
DeleteThe Groat's excellent and I've always been a fan of Donruss' Stat Line parallels--very cool idea. Nice job by Daniel!
ReplyDeleteStatlines are cool. Just weird numbering on some.
DeleteI absolutely love those 2001 Topps Golden Anniversary autographs. Such as great design... and on-card signatures too. The perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they are really sharp. This card shouldn't have avoided me like it did, but I'm thankful that Daniel hooked me up.
DeleteGlad you liked the cards!
