McCutchen Mailday #223: Pure Badass Patch

I've added a few triple threads Cutch cards to the collection this year, but this is the first that features 3 players who played in the Post Season this year for multiple teams.

Joey Bats hit a mammoth and memorable HomeRun against the Rangers to send Toronto to the Championship Series.  As many of you may know, I am a huge Jose Bautista fan, but am starting to sell off my Joey Bats collection including the 1/1 bat knob.

Cutch will continue to be my main focus on my PC.

Cespedes will be a free agent this year and it should be interesting to see where he ends up.  Over the past two years he has played on 4 teams.  I actually like New York's chances of resigning him.

I previously showed off this card almost a year ago to the day, but have now added a more rare version of it as my Cutch PC this year added over 200 new cards to the collection. 

McCutchen Monday with Special Guests Jose Bautista and Yoenis Cespedes

I've been showing off a fair amount of 2014 Topps Triple Threads as I attempt to do a reverse box for nearly half the price of a box.  Today's addition ran me $25 delivered bringing my grand total to $77 and needing only 2 base cards and a jumbo relic.  These boxes sell for typically $150 so I'm a little over budget as of now if I want to complete 2 boxes for the price of 1

I really like this card a lot with the exception of the Cespedes bat relic.  I understand that he's a popular player, but his appearance on this card kind of spoils the card for me.  Bautista and McCutchen are two of my favorite players in the game today and Cutch could very well be my favorite player ever by the time his career is over.  Cespedes does absolutely nothing for me.  I think he's a good ballplayer with a great arm and some serious pop in his bat.  I just have no emotional ties to the young Cuban outfielder.

McCutchen Monday: 2013 Topps Museum Primary Pieces LOGOMAN PATCH with 2 HOFers

My current favorite player in baseball today is Andrew McCutchen.  Quite honestly, he might be my favorite player I've ever gotten a chance to see play. I currently own almost 300 unique cards of Cutch and hope to get that number closer to 400 by the end of the year.  Amongst my cardboard collection of Cutch are many autographs, over a dozen 1/1s, and almost enough jersey material to put his jersey back together.  Back in 2011, I created Morton Mondays, but with the lack of Charlie Morton cards available, I changed it to McCutchen Mondays so each Monday I will show off one new card from my Cutch collection.

Cutch has been appearing in more and more of the high end releases year after year and Topps has been making some really nice cards as part of their Museum Collection.  When you put those two things together along with a pair of HOFers and a Cuban sensation, well you get a really nice card featuring Cutch and a Team Logo patch.

As you all know, one of my collecting goals this year was to acquire 2 more LOGOMAN patches.  I've actually added 5 so far.  This marks the 3rd that I have shown on the PTR.  The Joel Hanrahan 2013 Gypsy Queen Framed Mini Relic numbered to 10 and Neil Walker 2012 Topps Museum Signature Swatches were previously highlighted.
