2008 Detroit Tigers Pocket Schedule

If you're surprised I'm doing a post on a pocket schedule, I am too. But this is possibly the coolest pocket schedule I've ever seen. It looks like an 08 Topps card! Pretty awesome, right? I found this on eBay and clicked Buy It Now right away. Sure I could have waited a few days and saved 50 cents but that's no fun.

Luis Aparicio Collection - 2012 Topps Historical Stitches Patch

I don't like the Historical Stitches manufactured patches anywhere close to how much I like the Retired Numbers ones. As I mentioned earlier today, Topps left Lil Luis off that checklist. I'm stuck with this weird, fake flannel Aparicio card.

2012 Topps Retired Number Patch - Andre Dawson

I know these are kind of old news by now but as far as manufactured patches go, I really like these. In another life, I had a humble Andre Dawson autograph collection going. Since Topps left Luis Aparicio off the checklist for these, I grabbed the next best thing.

2012 Topps Tribute - Daniel Hudson Certified Auto

I haven't done too much research on 2012 Topps Tribute. All I know is that there seem to be a ton of different versions and all of the cards come encased. I doubt I'll pick up the entire rainbow for Daniel Hudson or Luis Aparicio but I want to get at least one of each.

Here's my first Daniel Hudson. It's the one with the photo of more of his full body. The other is more closer up. This one's the most common of the parallels and is numbered to 99.

2009 Bowman Sterling - Daniel Hudson Certified Auto

I finally grabbed Daniel Hudson's auto from the 2009 Bowman Sterling set. I have had my eye on this one for awhile. I think it might be his first certified card from a major brand.

# UH 215 - Josh Hamilton - Gold Border Parallel

I had a few nice days over at the Rangers camp this year. I ended up with a few new Josh Hamilton autographs. This one is the gold border parallel version of his All-Star card from the Updates & Highlights set.

# MIN13 - Joe Nathan - Team Set

Joe Nathan is now the closer for the Texas Rangers. He had a rough season in Minnesota last year. Hopefully he bounces back to the dominant closer he was a few years ago. We already had his two base cards from the 2008 Topps set signed so this time we went for this one from the Twins 14 card team set.
