The scanner really doesn't do this card justice, because it looks 100 times nice in person! It's a gold refractor autograph card of Cardinals All Star Matt Holliday, numbered 16 of 50! I became a Holliday fan early this season, after making a trade in fantasy baseball to land him, and trading away Tim Hudson, Ricky Romero, and Kevin Youkilis, just to make a spot in my outfield. It doesn't sound like a very fair trade, but I'm in 1st nonetheless. Holliday was batting .348 when I added him to my team back in early May, and while he's had a DL stint and has dropped off, with a stat line of .319/18/62, he should finish in the top 10 for MVP voting this season. I think he's one of the better outfielders in baseball, and while people may argue he can't really carry a team himself, not a whole lot of players can!
So, I'm definitely pleased with this card, especially for less than $10! I've got 3 more eBay purchases to show off, and as soon as they come in the mail, they'll be on here!
See Ya!
Nice pickup! I'm a fan of almost any Bowman's Best card.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome card. Too bad the scanner caught maybe the most unflattering shade of it. Makes you wish a scanner could pick up the refractive nature of the card. Give it maybe 2 years and they'll have scanners that do that very thing.
