McCutchen Monday: Laundry Day

My current favorite player in baseball today is Andrew McCutchen.  Quite honestly, he might be my favorite player I've ever gotten a chance to see play. I currently own almost 300 unique cards of Cutch and hope to get that number closer to 400 by the end of the year.  Amongst my cardboard collection of Cutch are many autographs, over a dozen 1/1s, and almost enough jersey material to put his jersey back together.  Back in 2011, I created Morton Mondays, but with the lack of Charlie Morton cards available, I changed it to McCutchen Mondays so each Monday I will show off one new card from my Cutch collection.

"2012" Panini National Treasures is a great set of cards.  It offers high end product for a reasonable price.  The player checklist is great.  The only downside is that there are no team logos.  That's fine with me though.
I guess calling a set 2012 when it was released in 2013 is kind of a downside too, but that's just a minor detail that can be overlooked.

A few months ago I managed to grab my very first laundry tag.  I had been on the fence about buying a Jason Bay Upper Deck laundry tag for over a year, but never pulled the trigger.

2012 Panini National Treasures Laundry Tag 1/6

When I saw this card pop up on ebay I just had to have it.  I don't know what it is about this card, but it was calling me.  Not only is it low numbered, but now I can see part of the actual cleaning instructions. WATER. DO NO USE MILD DRY LOW CLEAN.  Will that work? Doubtful, so don't try that at home.

Numbered 1/6 the card features the same backing as the other jersey relics of all Andrew McCutchen cards in the set.  At the top of the card it states PRIME because it's a prime part of the jersey.

I KNOW THAT I OWE MANY TRADE PACKAGES AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEND THEM OUT SOMETIME THIS WEEK.  IF I OWE YOU SOMETHING OR YOU WANT FREE CARDS, SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH YOUR ADDRESS AND WHAT CARDS I OWE YOU.
