It has been a week, this is going to be a really quick post. I picked up a new Durham Bulls card for my collection last week and did not have a chance to scan it and post it. Between starting back at work and getting ready for a new little one in a week and half there have been lots of running around. This morning I have a few quiet minutes to sit at my computer, scan, and type.
Here is my new Wil Myers card.....
I like these Panini booklet cards. They may be unlicensed, but always have a good design and some nice jersey pieces. I know Myers autograph is a scribble, but that's just the norm for him. Let's get into the real reason I got this card....
The right hand side of the card labels Wil Myers as a member of the Rays, which is sort of true, but I really bought this card because of the picture on the left panel of the card. Here's a little picture comparison.
Tampa Bay Rays Wil Myers.....
Durham Bulls Wil Myers......
Notice the picture on the booklet has Myers wearing the number 5, but he wore the 9 on the Rays. Also notice the double ear flap on the batting helmet, worn by minor league players, but not Major League players. I also went and checked just to see if the picture could be from his time in the Minors with the Royals. Picture....
Myers wore the number 8 almost his entire time in the Royals Minor League system and their teams almost have their jersey numbers on the right side of the jersey.
I know that in a normal year the Durham Bulls get a card or two in sets like Pro Debut and Heritage Minor League, but I was excited to find another card outside of those two sets which would appear to feature a player in their uniform.
