2011 Topps Update All-Star Stitches Jersey Cards

You may remember that thanks to my Dad, I was able to go to the 2011 All-Star Game here in Phoenix. Soon after we got the tickets, I realized that Topps would probably have All-Star jersey cards in their Update set. I was right.

I've been busy trying to pick up as many of these as I can. Right now I have 28 different players, not including the duplicates with a different jersey color. I've already gotten most of the ones I want but I'm still on the lookout for a few ( Justin Upton, Gio Gonzalez, C.J. Wilson come to mind ).

Some of the pics Topps chose for these are a little boring but overall I like them. Kind of a cool souvenir from the most awesome baseball game I've ever been to.

Luis Aparicio Collection - 2006 UD SP Legendary Cuts

There was one more card that Brian from 30 Year Old Cardboard sent us in that package I mentioned yesterday. This one's extra cool so I thought it deserved it's own blog post.

This is the first "When it was a Game" insert I've ever seen. It's from the 2006 Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts set and is numbered to 550.
