Jameson Taillon West Virginia Power Patch

Not long ago I showed off a Gregory Polanco West Virginia Power manupatch from 2013 Pro Debut.  I recently came across a Jameson Taillon West Virginia Power manupatch from the 2012 Pro Debut set and quickly picked it up for $17 delivered.  I'll admit time and time again that I don't like manupatches much, but when they feature the awesome logo of the WV Power, I'm going to pick them up.

Even though he's having elbow issues, Taillon should be up mid season 2014 to help the Pirates continue to make a strong push for the playoffs.  I'm really looking forward to seeing what this kid can do.  It's hard to believe he'll be just 22 in 2014.

Gregory Polanco might be one of the top 10 prospects in the game right now, but that's not the reason why I recently grabbed this 2013 Topps Pro Debut manupatch (numbered 59/75).

In fact the reason why I grabbed it was because of the logo of the Pirates minor league affiliate, West Virginia Power.  This logo is my favorite of the Pirates minor league affiliates.  It's a baseball making a Grrrr face wearing a bandana, gold earing, and top hat.  What is not to love of this?

For the price of a discounted blaster at a box store, I grabbed this manupatch of the funny looking gent that represents the Power and the Pirates' top prospect.  Sounds like a fair price to me.
