and I am done.

I do not care about Gary Vee. 

I bought a blaster of Ginter a few weeks back and pulled a Corbin Burnes printing plate. 




I am not sure if I have ever pulled a printing plate out of a pack of retail cards.  Pretty cool. 




I got two copies of the Blake Snell autograph.  The regular one. 

Last week I found two Cardinals autographs that I was interested in adding.  The first was a copy of the Tyler O'Neill autograph.  Interested in seeing him play a bit more.  The Cardinals lack offense, O'Neill seems like he can hit for power.  I have not done much with his cards recently. 




He has other autographs and nice cards floating around, but I am going to pass on them all for right now.  Just one.  

This is one I have had on my list since the checklist for Ginter first came out.....



Ankiel autographs always seem to be expensive when they first come out, but they eventually settle down at some point.  After waiting a few weeks, I was finally able to add this card at a price I was comfortable with paying.  Topps did a great job of being neutral on pitcher/outfielder Rick Ankiel. 

and that's it for Ginter, I am done. 

Unless one of the serial numbered Snell autographs ends up selling cheap.

  1. Congratulations on pulling a printing plate out of retail. Love these framed Ginter autographs! Haven't really targeted any... but maybe I should.

  2. "I do not care about Gary Vee"... right on! And congrats on the plate, I would imagine that the odds of pulling that were pretty staggering.

    1. I am not sure how rare of a feat that was, but I would guess the odds were steep.
