2012 Panini Elite Seth Maness Extra Edition Autograph

Starting off the weekend with a small pick-up from the past week.  While Panini is not necessarily my favorite card company I continue to be impressed with the wide selection of players that they have sign for their different products.  This season the Cardinals seem to be flying through players, but almost every minor leaguer brought up to St. Louis has some sort of card in a Panini product.  A good handful even have a signed card of two floating around on the secondary market.  I have been really impressed and over looked the fact that the cards are unlicensed and do not feature any uniform logos.

2012 Panini Elite Seth Maness Extra Edition Autograph

Maness has been up for a with the Cardinals for a few weeks now and has pitched in 15 games heading into tonight's game against the Reds.  His numbers are pretty average, but he already has 4 wins.  He's done a nice job of helping the team through a rough patch with some injuries and players underperforming.  Besides pitching for the Cardinals, Maness also pitched in college for the East Carolina Pirates and is originally from Pinehurst, North Carolina.  Always good to support some local kids in the show and East Carolina has been a pretty good baseball team as of late.  This is the only autograph card that Maness has out on the market, but there are 722 of them floating around.  They are inexpensive.
