McCutchen Mailday #61: Can't See Me Edition

My 61st new Andrew McCutchen card I've added to my collection this year is a 2014 Topps Camo numbered 5/99. I grabbed it for $15.

BayDay! BayDay!: Camo Edition!

It's no secret to anyone that reads my blog that Jason Bay is one of my favorite baseball players of all time.  Even when he left Pittsburgh to play for the Red Sox, Mets, and Mariners I kept rooting for him.  Continuing the theme to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend, I'm showing off my camo edition of 2013 Topps Jason Bay.

So Many Cards, So Little Time: The Sequel

Yesterday I showed off all the new additions to the blog for my 2013 Topps Update Charlie Morton additions.  Today, I'm going to show off some of the easier to find 2014 Topps parallels I have grabbed over the past few months.

The above 6 cards ran me $12.73 delivered which isn't terrible for 6 serially numbered or retail exclusive cards.

Up first is the Gold Parallel which came in at a hefty price of 6 cents which I smartly combined with a bunch of other cards to make the shipping free.

Of all the recent parallels that Topps has started to put out, I think this ugly shade of green is my least favorite.  Nothing about this card excites me......except that it's another card to chase of my favorite player.  It ran me $1.98 shipped and I am happy I won't have to type in Charlie Morton green into my save searches for the rest of the card season.

This purple variant ran me $1.26.  How did Toys R Us become the purple variant exclusive?  I get WalMart Blue and Target Red because their logos reflect those colors.

Can someone please point out to me what letter in their logo is purple because I sure as hell don't see it?

The Yellow retail exclusive was one of the more expensive cards to track down at $3.25.  Seeing how nice this card looks, makes me want to complete the team set for the yellow parallels.

The Camos were won around the same time and I put feeler bids in on both, thinking that if I lost one I could win the other.  I managed to win both these /99 parallels for a combined price of $5.98 (roughly $3 a card after shipping) 

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.

You Can't See Me: Alex Presley 2013 Camo

I recently showed off my 1st Pink Topps card.  Today, I'm going to show off my 1st camo card.  The camo parallels are new to the 2013 Topps set.  They're numbered out of 99 copies and can fetch some big bucks for star players.  Star players don't include Alex Presley though who sold for $3 shipped.

Even though Alex was mainly used as a 4th outfielder/pinch runner during his time in Pittsburgh, he was one of my favorites to root for.  Alex was traded at the end of August along with a PTBNL for Justin Morneau.  After the game that Justin had a couple nights ago which he pretty much single handly won the game for the Bucs, I'm more than ok with that trade.  Since being traded Alex has been batting .302 over 15 games for the Twins.
