Cross One Off The List....

I started a list off to the side of my blog -----> awhile ago that included ten cards I was looking to add to my collection.  I believe that one is actually a bobblehead.  Anyway, I added one of the cards fairly quickly, but have not been too swift with finding much else on the list.  Some of the cards are out there and I am probably being a little bit picky on what I am willing to trade/buy for.  Others are just going to be tough.  That Beckham and Rugginao seem to not exist, but I know they do.

Well, it's finally time to cross off a card.  My newest card off my Void List (I don't like that name anymore-it's going to change) is this great looking 2014 Bowman Alex Reyes autograph.

Reyes cards have been gaining a bit of momentum through the first half of the season as the tall right handed pitcher is now considered the best prospect in the Cardinals system by many.  In 7 starts this season Reyes has a 1.78 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 35 innings playing for the Cardinals Palm Beach High A team in  the Florida State League.  I am sure that Reyes will stay in A ball a bit long this season, but at some point I think he will graduate to Double A.  Still another two or three years away from St. Louis I would guess (being conservative), but always nice to add these cards to the collection.

Here's a look at Reyes pitching last year against the Burlington Royals if you have never seen this player in action.....
