McCutchen Monday: 2014 Topps Chrome SP Variation

Last week on McCutchen Monday, I showed off an Allen & Ginter insert that ran me 74 cents to purchase.  Today I'm going to show off an extremely rare Topps Chrome SP Photo Variant that ran me $37.

The above beauty runs 1 in every 5 cases of Chrome.  Multiply that by 25 players that got the variant treatment and you can figure out how rare this card is.  Other copies of this card have sold in the $75 range so I am VERY VERY VERY happy to have won it for half that price.

Thanks everyone for reading.  God Bless!!!!

This is how you celebrate Gypsy Style

Last night the Bucs came back to beat the hated division rivals Brewers in a 12 inning affair.  There were a lot of bad breaks for the Pirates throughout the game, but karma started to turn things around and fix themselves when Jean Seguera threw a cutout relay throw to homeplate that was about 6 feet wide and high allowing Neil Walker to score from 1st on a double by Russel Martin.  That tied things up in the 8th.

In the bottom of the 12th inning, my favorite ball player Andrew McCutchen came up and roped a line drive homerun to right center for a walkoff blast.

2013 Topps Gypsy Queen Andrew McCutchen SSP Variant

I recently snagged this Andrew McCutchen SSP Celebration variant in 2013 Gypsy Queen for $30.  These come roughly 1 in 800 packs so the odds of coming across one is pretty rare.
