Football Sunday: Le'veon Bell Towel Relic

There is no single card that defines what I am trying to accomplish this month by making every card post PINK than this card right here.  NFL has really brought a lot of awareness towards breast cancer by fully allowing their players for the month of October to wear pink on their uniforms.  Panini decided to make relic cards of photoshoots wearing a pink Breast Cancer Awareness towel and randomly insert them into their products.

Numbered BCA7 and costing me $8 delivered is this really awesome Le'Veon Bell towel relic.

I drafted Le'veon Bell in the 2nd round of my fantasy football team this year and he has been an absolute stud for me so far.  Anybody else draft him?

Now for some Steelers boobs...

Sexy Saturday: Katarina Van Derham Auto

In my preparation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I bought several Benchwarmers cards that peeked my interest.  I wasn't too familiar with most of these "actresses" and models, but some were just beautiful and cheap enough that the price to be paid was worth it.

The above Katarina Van Derham auto was purchased for $3.

For those unfamiliar with Katarina's work, you should go buy a St. Pauli Girl Lager.  She was the model used by the company in 2009 and 2010.

YAY FOR BEER!!!!

Dammit it's a Doumit: Pink Edition

So far we've raised $38 so please please please keep posting comments and pimping the blog....

Back in December 2013 I created Dammit It's a Doumit because I had the Blink 182 Dammit song stuck in my head for the day.  Since then sadly I have only added 1 new Ryan Doumit card to my collection until today...

Behold the majesticness of the uber rare PINK DOUMIT DAMMIT!!!!

2014 Topps Pink Parallel 15/50

This beautiful pink parallel from 2014 Topps numbered 15/50 ran me under $8 delivered.

At one time, I considered becoming a Ryan Doumit super collector until I came across this guy who clearly wouldn't let me win anything low numbered.

Now because Doumit is pictured in a Twins uniform...let's see some real twins as we continue to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness Research

Throwback Thursday: the only pink basketball card I own

My Indiana Pacers collection has been steadily growing over the year since my first Reggie Miller Beam Team insert I showed off in February.  However, one thing I don't have is a pink parallel for a Pacers player.

To not totally segregate the NBA fans, I decided to show off the only basketball card I own with pink in it.

Granted it's not a pink parallel, but there is definitely pink in it....and it's of my favorite basketball player of all time.  This was found in a dimebox a looooooooooong time ago.

The Pacers are going to have a very difficult season ahead of themselves with rising star Paul George out for the entire season with a career threatening injury and Lance Stephenson leaving to go to Charlotte.

Arizona Fall League Kicks off today....

The Pirates had two stories today with the Arizona Fall league kicking off.  One story was Josh Bell, a 2011 2nd round draft pick, making his first professional start at 1st Base.  Bell went 0-4 in the game, striking out from both sides of the plate and grounding out once from each side of the plate.

The other story was super pitching prospect Tyler Glasnow who didn't even get out of the first inning while throwing only 29 pitches.  He struck a batter out, walked 3 batters, allowed a run to score on a throwing error on his behalf.  This pink parallel sticker auto ran me $13 delivered many many many months ago.  I grabbed another (with a different picture) that I will show off in the future.

Glasnow will likely begin his season in AA for 2015 and will likely be up in Pittsburgh come 2016 when he turns 22.

BayDay BayDay: Pink Parallel

Continuing the theme of all pink cards to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness, I am going to show off a Jason Bay 2013 Topps Pink Parallel.  2014 brought with it some sad news that Jason Bay would retire from MLB.  This is coming off 3 terrible injury plagued seasons with the Mets and Mariners.  Prior to that though Jason was a mainstay for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the second decade of "the losing streak" and would later join the Boston Red Sox for their post season performance in 2008.

2013 Topps Pink Parallel 34/50

I grabbed this Bay parallel earlier in the year for around $7 delivered if I remember correctly.

Morton Monday: It's back (temporarily)

Due to the lack of Andrew McCutchen pink parallels I have in my collection I going throwback to a Morton Monday for today.  The last Morton Monday was done on January 23rd 2012.

To continue the Save the Boobies, Breast Cancer Awareness, posting here at The Pirates Treasure Room, I'm going to show off a pink parallel of my favorite pitcher in baseball.  None other than Charlie Morton.

2013 Topps Update 41/50

I've had this card for almost a year now, but have been saving it for this month long of posting pink baseball cards.  I won this the week that 2013 Topps Update hit shelves for the price of $13.  Since then I have seen them sell in the $6-$15 range.
