I have had a few of those cheap ass plastic baseball card frame things from the big box craft and hobby store sitting around. I put one of them to use.
Thanks to a couple of recent trades (the Beckham came from Chris aka Nacho), and a Sportlots haul, I have completed the 2010 Topps Series II 2020 insert set. The 20 card set is a 3-D card set devoted to players that Topps think will be on the cusp of Hall-of-Fame contention in 2020. The idea is fantastic. The implementation is not. My beef is not so much with the players selected, it's that there are only 20 spots available, and Topps chose 3 Giants and 3 Dodgers. My displeasure in the selections is somewhat lightened with the omission of any Yankees or Red Sox. You read that right folks... not a damn Yankee or Sox to be found here. T1 Ryan Braun ~ Agree
T2 Gordon Beckham ~ Agree
T3 Andre Ethier ~ Disagree (see Garrett Andersons career)
T4 David Price ~ Agree
T5 Justin Upton ~ Agree
T6 Hunter Pence ~ Disagree (style of play will lead to injuries)
T7 Ryan Howard ~ Agree
T8 Buster Posey ~ Agree
T9 Madison Bumgarner ~ Agree
T10 Evan Longoria ~ Agree (future move to NY will only help)
T11 Joe Mauer ~ Agree
T12 Chris Coghlan ~ Agree
T13 Andrew McCutchen ~ Agree
T14 Ubaldo Jimenez ~ Disagree (hurky jerky delivery concerns me)
T15 Pablo Sandoval ~ Disagree (my biggest beef in the set. His body type will limit him)
T16 David Wright ~ Agree
T17 Tommy Hanson ~ Agree
T18 Clayton Kershaw ~ Agree
T19 Zack Greinke ~ Disagree (talent rich, but mind is weak)
T20 Matt Kemp ~ Agree
Next time, Topps does a set like this, I hope they include a few more teams.
that presents VERY well! Kudos!
