2023 Blake Snell Autograph Count: 12

This is my fourteenth post of the month. The last time I made that many posts in a month was August, 2020. I wrote about Blake Snell autographs, 1989-1990 Skybox basketball card set (I should post those again), Topps Project 2020, and people money laundering on Ebay by selling junk wax cards for thousands of dollars. 

I am looking at you, 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe.  

All those other topics have faded, but the Blake Snell autographs are still here.

Last week, I was able to pick up another "old" autograph from the 2017 Topps Chrome set. This is specifically from the "Sophomore Stat Lines" insert set, which came in both autograph and non-autograph form. I now own both.  

Here is the front of the card......

It's a little busy for my tastes, but it still works. We got an action shot of Snell pitching in front of the stat that is used on the back of the card (K/9) with all sorts of writing, labels, the autograph, and a serial number all appearing on the bottom of the card. 

Love that the autograph is on-card. 

I could live without the box on the bottom, just give me a big K/9 and Blake Snell pitching with the autograph over the top of it all. The insert name can go on the back, nobody will miss it and everyone knows this is Blake Snell. He's won a Cy Young, or two, so his name can just go on the back too.  

Without all of those things, maybe someone would notice this card is serial numbered out of 99 copies.  

Back of the card.....

There is a sticker on the back of the case. I could not get it all the way off.  

Everything in the box at the bottom of the front of the card is also in the box at the top of the back.  

The write up about the K/9 stat is solid.  

Now, where did I put those basketball cards.
