Ground Chuck Did It!!!

I made a bold prediction that Charlie would get the chance to hold up a World Series Trophy by pitching 10 scoreless innings.

While it wasn't 10 scoreless, he did pitch his ass of in Game 7 of the ALCS to get the Astros to the World Series then pitched 2 hit ball in game 4, followed by 4 innings in relief of Game 7 to give the Houston Astros their first World Series title.

I am still a Charlie Morton super collector.
Here's my 5 recent Morton additions.

I have the pink, blue, negative, vintage stock, and black parallels.

The Flemington, NJ born pitcher is a World Series Champion!!!!
Congrats to Ground Chuck, The Houston Astros, their fans, and the entire city of  Houston!!!!

Be sure to check out my post on Collecting Cutch later today where I show off all my Cutch cards featuring Houston Astros.

McCutchen Monday: 2009 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor

My last McCutchen Monday before my Save Second Base (the Boobies) event takes place is a 2009 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor numbered 89/199.  It cost me a cool $10 delivered and gets me very close to a historical 500 unique Cutch cards.  A contest for that will be held post October.

As a reminder please remember to participate (and often) for my 2014 Save Second Base all month long pink event at the PTR blog.

So many cards, so little time

I don't know if it's that I've been buying cards too aggressively or trying to only show 1 card per post, but I have a whole lot of Charlie Morton cards that I need to add to the blog.

The below Camo version ran me $8 delivered, which is a little more than what I like to pay, but I lost 3 of these in a row so I was determined to win this 57/99 variant.

The WalMart Blue ran me $1 delivered.

The Black parallel ran me $5.69.  This seems about fair price for a black parallel numbered to 62.

Charlie will in fact be taking the hill today as part of a doubleheader against the Orioles.
