Within a week, I got two PWE’s from Jaybarkerfan with some
cool Yankee cards. The first featured this Topps Turkey Red Mickey Mantle. The
greenish/blue background reminds me of his 1952 Topps RC a bit. The artwork is
extremely cool, and it’s a Dick Perez, so why wouldn’t it be?
Next was this cool 2010 Topps Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig
checklist. It’s a great picture of the two guys…a grumpy, broken-down Ruth and
a young, chipper Gehrig. These two did not have the greatest relationship, and
I can’t imagine either was thrilled to take this photo, although perhaps it was
taken during their better days.
I’m a sucker for die cuts, so this ARod Pure Heat card is pretty sweet. Plus there are awesome flames in the background. It’s the type of card I would have killed for I was 12 or so.
Lastly, this 2009 Topps Black Bordered Mark Teixeira. It’s
#’d to only 58, and the black border is very sharp. It does make the entire
card a touch dark, but it really stands out as well.
Wes, thanks again. I have a few Braves headed your way!
