McCutchen Monday: THE ABSOLUTE BIGGEST PRINTING PLATES IN MY COLLECTION

I've been adding Andrew McCutchen printing plates since before the 2010 season.  Since then, the cost of a Cutch printing plate has gone up A LOT.  I remember still buying his 2009 Topps rookie card magenta plate off sportlots for $10.  TEN FRICKING DOLLARS FOR HIS ROOKIE PLATE!!!!

My recent purchase brought me in the way back machine as I was able to pick up 4 (that's right all 4) printing plates of Cutch for the Dec 2013 issue of Beckett Baseball.  What did these giant sized printing plates run me?  $50 delivered, thanks to a few spare ebay bucks that made the cost of shipping free. I'm very pleased to add these to my collection for $12.50 a piece.

Here's the plates individually.  Keep in mind that my scanner is only an 8.5 x 11 size scanner and these are all 10 x 11 size printing plates so about 2 inches from each plate are missing.

December 2013 Beckett Baseball Cyan Printing Plate 1/1

December 2013 Beckett Baseball Magenta Printing Plate 1/1

December 2013 Beckett Baseball Yellow Printing Plate 1/1

And this is what all the plates look like as a collective unit to give the end result of the printed cover.

And just for show, here's the plates all together.
