McCutchen Mailday #32: Dual Button Relic w/Adam Jones

This is without a doubt one of the highlights of my Cutch PC now.

I know what my top 5 cards in the collection are and this is in the talks to be in the top 10.

I was very excited when I added a dual button relic of Gerrit Cole and Francisco Liriano last year because I didn't have any Pirates relics with Francisco.  Being able to add this is up there in terms of my excitement. 

Cutch is on a path for a Hall of Fame career and Adam Jones will be an Oriole legend if he finishes his career with them.

McCutchen Mailday #251, 252, and 253: 3 MORE 1/1s

I have already added an insane amount of Andrew McCutchen cards to my collection this year.
I've even added almost 40 1/1s to the PC this year.  That would be exciting for any collector.  However, I really think that I have outdone myself with this recent group of cards I have purchased.

I got in contact with a seller who has dealt me some nice Cutch cards in the past that he's won in group breaks and beaten me on eBay a few times.  I was trying to win a triple booklet of Cutch's All-Star sleeve from 2015 Triple Threads but ended up losing it.  Patience proved to be a virtue as after a few months, I was able to acquire from the winning bidder.

This card (along with it's custom case I will never remove it from) is now the highlight of my Cutch collection.

Behold the beauty of a 1/1 triple booklet All Star Sleeve patch!!!

The customized red case really makes this card pop.

This is what it looked like before putting it in the custom case

Also from the same seller were two other nice 1/1s including only my 2nd button in the collection

Oh and another letter...

McCutchen Mailday #118: Button Up!!!! My 1st Cutch Button

This card is just SICK!!!!

By now it should be well known that I love National Treasures!!!!
This button card has been on my radar for a few years.  I've seen them sell in the $400+ range.  I grabbed mine for under $300.  It might be the most expensive Cutch I have added all year in my pursuit to add 100 new Cutch cards to the collection by year's end. 

Coupled with a few 1/1 jersey letters, a 6 relic booklet featuring Bo!, Griffey Jr, Mr. October, etc and a plethora of rare numbered parallels, I have to say this has been a good year for collecting Cutch.

THE NICEST GERRIT COLE IN MY COLLECTION....

Well, I'm not sure if it's the nicest, but damn is this thing unique

Dual button relic from 2014 Gypsy Queen of Francisco Liriano and Gerrit Cole. Only 3 of these beauts were made.

My First Button!!!

Earlier in the year, I showed off my first bat knob to my collection.  It was of my favorite current non Pirate, Jose Bautista.  Today marks another Treasure Room milestone, as I have added my first button card to my collection by acquiring a 2014 National Treasures button.

I think at this point I have acquired enough 2014 National Treasures cards to make a case, but have only spent about two boxes worth on the product.  Reverse boxes are awesome!!!
