McCutchen Maiday #388: Happy New Year Y'all!

I didn't have time yesterday to show this off, but I managed to get in another Andrew McCutchen card as the year came to a close.  Here is the final Andrew McCutchen card from 2015.  This card arrived 4 days before expected delivery. 

In addition to that, I managed to get my scanner fixed so I am reshowing the cards I posted on Wednesday.

2015 was the most successful year in my cardboard collecting days.  I'm really looking forward to see what I can come up with in 2016 as my Cutch collection grows even more and I continue to knock off vintage needs.

McCutchen Mailday #199: My Second 1/1 Logoman of Cutch

Not too long ago, I showed off my first 1/1 Logoman of Cutch.  Today, I have added a second. 

This one is a little nicer as it features Cutch's home white uniform and perfectly centered logoman. 

I am one card away from doubling my goal to add 100 new Cutch cards to the PC this year.

I have already received it and gotta say it's one of a kind and my 1st to be added to the Cutch PC.  

McCutchen Mailday #172: It's Real It's Real

I've been wanting to add one of these since the product was released earlier in the year and I made my large Cutch collection purchase from someone selling a bunch of their PC.  When it comes to jersey relics, I like for them to fall in one of the following categories before I purchase it.

It's super cheap that I want to purchase it

It features the Jolly Roger logo

It features a nice black and yellow patch

It has the MLB authentication number on it.

The latter was the reason for buying this quad relic of the Bucs superstars.  While the nice bit of patch on Cutch is nice, the MLB authentication hologram for Gregory Polanco was the main reason I wanted this card.

So after getting it in my hands, I did what any other person would do, I researched what jersey I had of Gregory's.

Actually it's not a jersey at all

I have a piece of Gregory Polanco's pants used on June 28th against the New York Mets. 

Gregory was 0 for 5 that day with 2 strikeouts.  This game marked the return of Gerrit Cole from the DL and he pitched awful in the first two frames, allowing 5 runs on 5 hits, 2 walks, a wild pitch, and several stolen bases.  After the 3rd he started to settle down, but not before recording his 4th loss on the year. 

More Museum relics

Here's some more of my recent 2015 Topps Museum cards I have picked up on the secondary market

Check out that sick quad relic of Jose Bautista I snagged for under $20.  The Jays are steamrolling through the American League now with their intense power hitting mashing offense. 

Here's a jumbo jersey of Neil Walker that I got for under $8

Neil is set to become a free agent after next season.  I suspect that "The Pittsburgh Kid's" days are numbered in the Burgh.  With cost controlled infielders Josh Harrison, Jung Ho Kang, and Alen Hanson all set to be on the roster at some point next year it's likely that Walker has only about 200 games left to try and win a World Series for the team he grew up rooting for. 

Sick Jumbo Patch Autograph of Gregory Polanco

Couldn't pass this up a few weeks ago.

Polanco has been having a lot of late inning heroics in the recent games.

Dave Parker 1/1 Bat Barrel from 2015 Museum

I am always on the hunt for one definitive card of a player I collect.  I now have a grail for my Dave Parker collection.

I've got several bat nameplates in my collection that I have already shown off. This 2015 Topps Museum started a massive purchase of some incredibly sick cards that I have been waiting to show off.

In case you're wondering, yes that is a Dave Parker 1/1 Bat Barrel from 2015 Topps Museum.  I purchased a large lot of cards from a seller and this was the main card in the lot.

He included these two Dave Parker autographs as throw ins to the deal.  Yup, free Cobra autographs as throw-ins...you just can't beat that.

I will be showing off more cards from my purchase in the next few weeks. I got some booklets, 1/1s, dual relics, jumbo jerseys, etc.
