Actually, I need to get something off Paul Lo Duca's chest.
My love for catchers led to another Ebay purchase. This time it was a 2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Paul Lo Duca chest protector/bat relic card. It's my first chest protector relic and I really, really needed it to along with this card.
I've looked and looked and can't find a Pudge card with a chest protector or shin guard, but I did find one with a nice piece of his catcher's mitt.
Those two go along nicely with this Johnny Estrada shin guard card that I already had. I'm 3/4 of the way to having a piece of all the tools of ignorance. Anyone ever seen a catcher's mask relic card?
Hey TOPPS! I WANT A CATCHERS MASK RELIC CARD!
DO YOU HEAR THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?!
I can't remember who posted about it, but I did see a card that had a thin, cross-section of the mask frame in the card (it looked like a watch battery). I know they are out there. Good luck finding one!
ReplyDeleteChest protectors and shin guards? Very, very cool. Best of luck on tracking down the final piece of the puzzle.
ReplyDeleteAre you insane??!! You don't tell Topps what you want, Topps tells you what you want.
ReplyDeleteThe cynicalbuddha has never spoken truer words.
DeleteCan't say that I've ever seen a catcher's mask relic card, but I those are three great cards that you have! I love the Pudge glove card. The fact that it has writing on it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese are cool. I love relics that step outside of the box a bit...a base, wall, glove, shoe, etc.
ReplyDeleteyou know, I have a tonne of Johnny Estrada cards from back in the day.... I totally forgot I could send them to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like about the Estrada card, he's a Phillie!!
ReplyDeleteYadier Molina catcher's mask relic. I like the sound of that.
ReplyDeleteI might have a catcher or two in my trade boxes.
