2011 Topps Museum Collection Jeremy Hellickson Quad Jersey
The patch piece on this card is actually red instead a color that would normally be associated with the Rays. Which led me to look up variations on the Rays uniforms since Hellickson's debut with the Rays. Hellickson first appeared with the Rays at the end of the 2010 season, but the team did not wear any throwback jerseys during the time that Hellickson was with the team that season. During the 2011 season the Rays did have a throwback jersey game where they wore red jerseys. In fact, the jerseys were a bit controversial because they initially featured a cigar. I thought it was pretty cool to actually be able to track the jersey/patch pieces back to a specific game on a card and I will definitely enjoy adding this Hellickson card to my collection.
