Well, Cliff Lee may not be under the Yankees Christmas tree yet and Carl Crawford will not be, I was able to add this card to my Yankees Autograph PC. Damon was an auto I had been trying to get for sometime. Either I would be outbid or the price would be too high. In any case, I now have him.
This card commemorates a ninth straight year of 100 runs scored and 30 doubles in a season. As much as I'm glad I can finally check off Damon in my Yankee auto want list, I'm just not to crazy about the sticker auto. Normally I dont care about sticker auto's, I'm usuallly just thrilled to have the auto. It's just that this particular one is such an eye sore. The placement of the silver sticker is just horrendous and kinda takes away from the photo. I have to check the checklist for 2007 Topps and make sure there isn't any other Yankee autos I need from that set.
Yuck!
Nice auto!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind if the autograph is on a sticker either, but this one does seem like it was placed strangely on the card.
It looks like Lee will end up in the Bronx, although I think seven years is crazy. It also looks like former Dodger, Russell Martin could end up in pinstripes as well.
If Martin comes to NY, we can probably kiss Jesus Montero goodbye. I'm sure Martin will be a one year stopgap until Austin Romine is ready. Montero will probably bring us a top line pitcher, although I hope it's not Grenke.
