This post is about the second group of packs from the 2009 Heritage High Series box I first posted about last week. This is the "middle row", if you will. As suggested by the title, the hit came in this section.Pack 9:
626 - Tim Redding
651 - Nick Green
501 - Shane Robinson (Robinson has received a few call-ups in his Cardinals career, but has largely been invisible.)
RP-09 - Chris Coghlan Rookie Performers (It seems like Coghlan is one of those one-year wonders.)
Pack 10:
695 - Elvis Andrus (So many Rangers in this set.)
CHR128 - Vin Mazzaro Chrome Refractor 468/560 (Shiny.)
CHR136 - Ryan Garko Chrome 0829/1960
688 - Andrew McCutchen (Anyone need this short print?)
555 - David Freese (I hear this newly minted media darling is going to make an appearance on some new ABC sitcom at some point. Sounds hilariously awful!)
CHR185 - Jerry Hairston Jr. Chrome 1314/1960
CCDR-PM - Jorge Posada / Mickey Mantle Clubhouse Collection Dual Jersey 32/60 (Did you forget that I mentioned "hit"? Wow, how did this happen? I was expecting something more along the lines of a plain white Adam Dunn jersey card, or at best a piece of plastic shaved from a chair at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. I suppose there are better Yankees that could have appeared with Mantle, but this is still great. I have no idea what's up with the ultra fuzzy Posada swatch, though.)
693 - Chris Coghlan (Another short print here.)
501 - Shane Robinson (Robinson has received a few call-ups in his Cardinals career, but has largely been invisible.)UH70 - Wilkin Ramirez
UH227 - Edwin Jackson All-Stars
RP-09 - Chris Coghlan Rookie Performers (It seems like Coghlan is one of those one-year wonders.)642 - Micah Owings

CHR128 - Vin Mazzaro Chrome Refractor 468/560 (Shiny.)577 - Adam LaRoche
611 - Victor Martinez
Pack 11:
614 - Josh Outman (Great name for a pitcher. It's a good thing he didn't decide to play first base or something.)
641 - Micah Hoffpauir
657 - Vin Mazzaro

UH270 - David Ortiz / Alex Rodriguez Classic Combos Checklist

586 - J.J. Putz
555 - David Freese (I hear this newly minted media darling is going to make an appearance on some new ABC sitcom at some point. Sounds hilariously awful!)525 - Braden Looper (Looper is a reminder of the dark years between the recent Cardinals World Series wins.)
UH56 - Wes Helms
UH126 - Matt Tolbert
TN-6 - Roger Maris / Grady Sizemore Then and Now (One held the single season home run record for decades while the other is a free agent just looking for a second chance.)

531 - Brett Hayes (Who is?)

I'll be back later this week with the anticlimactic conclusion.
Sick!
ReplyDeleteAwesome hit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the jersey is from those couple of games when they switched to cotton uniforms thanks to the assistant to the traveling secretary. (Bonus points if you get the reference)
Nice! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI think the floating heads are the best part.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a hit! That is one of the things I dislike about dual jersey cards. Idk about you, but I would rather have just a Mantle jersey, rather than a Mantle/Posada jersey, but hey that's a really nice pull anyway!
ReplyDeleteCostanza!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice hit even if it is a Yankee card. I like that there are lots of Rangers...
Wow!
ReplyDeleteInsanely jealous. Great pull - Congrats!
ReplyDeleteEven though I hate the Yankees that is a great hit! I was wondering if I could put my name on the Roger Maris/Grady Sizemore card. I have a ton more Cardinals cards to get to you hopefully over the winter at some point. Tim
ReplyDeleteTim, unfortunately I need the Maris/Sizemore card for my set. You're welcome to any other Cleveland cards, though, including the Matt LaPorta Chrome card (see my latest post.)
