Verlander on Canvas

I read somewhere on someone else's blog that the 2008 UD Masterpieces Justin Verlander card pictured him throwing the last pitch from his 07 no-hitter. A quick check of eBay revealed a five card lot of the desired cards. I got the lot for $5.80 shipped. I am now pulling a Joe C. and am trying for the rainbow of parallels.

Rhymes with "Ton of Good Stuff"

Tunguska =Ton of Good Stuff! You'll see what I mean. I dished off a couple of lovable losers to David of Long Fly Ball to Because... fame, and got back a bevy of Tigers and a Lion. Oh My!

As you can see, Tunguska knows how to properly package a card without f-ing up the top loader. There are a few little things in life that bug me. Scotch tape on a top loader, slow left lane drivers, Ed Hardy shirts, over cooked steak. I could go on. People, a small swatch of painters tape peels off easily. Use it. The Scherzer is from 2010 Topps Series II, and is numbered to 99. Sweet eh? (yeah, eh. I said it).

A few tobacco cards thrown in for good measure.

A 2009 Topps Verlander black background from Target or Wal-Mart, I forget which. Cool looking though.

Wideout Derrick Williams from Topps Mayo. Can you say 3rd round BUST?

Team drunk Miggy Cabrera from Bowman Platinum. Shiny.

Thanks for the trade Tunguska!
