McCutchen Mailday #188: Another one down....

Here it is, another Andrew McCutchen parallel.  This is the orange parallel from 2015 Topps Chrome Gallery of Greats.  I have already shown off the Gold and stated I wanted to chase the rainbow.  With the Red, Base, and Superfractor still on my radar, this rainbow could be extremely tough to complete but I have faith that I can complete it before year's end.

We are approaching the second century mark of passing my 2015 Goal to add only 100 new Cutch cards to the PC this year.

Morton on the Mound: Factory Set Orange is MIIIIIIINNNNNNEEEEE!!!!

I'm going to do a double posting today because my favorite pitcher is on the mound for the Bucs tonight. Charlie Morton will be taking on the Cardinals in a few minutes and I will be listening to the game as I drive back home from a little Florida vacation. It seems appropriate to finally show off this beautiful piece of cardboard as I drive through the Sunshine State. The Orange & Blue Florida Gators fan base is in full effect on the roads today.

Despite having a higher number of cards produced, these factory set orange parallels always seem to be tougher to find than pink, black, etc parallels.  The reason is simple.  The only way to get them is to bust open your factory set and get a pack of random orange parallels inside. 

I am still in pursuit of the 2011 orange parallel, but I can finally cross the 2014 from the Needs list.  Excluding 1/1s the 2011 Orange is the only card that I don't have of Ground Chuck.

Ke'Bryan Hayes Perfect Game!!!!

No, he didn't throw one, but I grabbed one.

An orange diecut of the Pirates 2015 draft pick

Ooooohhhh. In the past month I've grabbed over a dozen Hayes autographs.

Chasing Rainbows: Russell Martin Orange Chrome Refractor

Last month I showed off my Pink Refractor of Russ numbered /5.  It marked my 6th different parallel of this card I had shown off.

I had already shown off a few of the rainbow parallels in the past dating back to last year.

black numbered/100
camo numbered 10/15

gold numbered 34/50

red numbered 12/25 and sepia numbered 45/75

Today I'm showing off my 7th parallel of the recent free agent backstop.

It's the un numbered orange prallel.  I'm going to keep trying to add these to my collection as long as they come up.  This one ran me just $1.25 delivered.  

Orange is the New Black: Sorta

Because it's Halloween week still, I'm going to show off a card I wanted to highlight earlier in the week, but due to the ongoing Save the Boobies contest, I couldn't.

To show my Halloween spirit, here's a card that features both orange and black.  I grabbed this dollar gem earlier in the year when America's Pasttime came out.  It's numbered 86/125

In the very near future I will be showing off a bunch of Andrew McCutchen cards that I recently purchased on COMC.
