I finally snagged my first Michael Pineda relic, even though it's of him in a Mariners uniform. You know, I guess he actually needs to pitch in a game for him to get a true game-used Yankees jersey. He does have a few Yankee jersey issues, which is weird since he's never pitched for them. He had a few spring training appearances in 2012, so I suppose that's what those are from. Wooooo.
Anyways, this is a dual-relic card with Zach Britton of the Orioles. I remember Britton being a pretty big prospect for them. It seems like he's had a rough go of it in the Bigs so far. At the time, I'm going to say this would have been a pretty desirable card. Now, it's nothing special, but it is my first Pineda relic, so I suppose it's still special in that sense.

I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
