I forget how beautiful and shiny these cards are until I hold one in hand. This particular 2007 design works really well. Now my question is this a recognized RC of his? Are his Tampa Bay cards not his true RCs?
This has to be the shiniest card I have in my collection hands down!
Sometimes being the early bird doesn't pay. I paid full asking price ($6.50) in 2005 when it was first issued. Now I'm sure it could be had for a buck or less. Oh well, live and learn. At least it's a purdy card.
One last question to those of you who buy eTopps cards. While the cases they come in are nice I don't always have room for them. Eventually I'd like to have my PC cards in pages so I'll want the card out of the sealed slab. What do you do w/ your eTopps? Sealed or open 'em up?
I've been contemplating having some eTopps shipped to me for a while. I've been buying since 2004 and racked up a ton of points and you're right these cards are awesome in hand!!!
ReplyDeleteI would imagine his "true" rookie (Josh Hamilton, that is) to be his 1999 cards. But then again, Mark McGwire had a 1985 Topps card that I call his rookie ... and I also call his 1987 cards his rookies as well. So in Hamilton's instance, I think I could call both rookies.
ReplyDeleteI only have the Cam Newton and Julio Jones cards lol. I just bought them as investments I guess.
ReplyDeleteI snagged that Newton card too, but after the season I'll probably have it shipped to me.
ReplyDeleteWhile I haven't opened up the few eTopps I have, I did open up two of the 2004 Topps Retired autos I have (Jimmy Key and Dave Stieb). Both came in cases like the eTopps but I decided to open them up and put them into my binder with the other Jays autos. I may eventually open up the eTopps too.
