You know, I thought by being on vacation I would have more time for some thoughtful posts. But it's not happening that way. I seem to have less time than normal, and it's going to get worse as the week progresses.
So, apologies in advance.
Here is all I've got for you this morning:
See the card above? It's a Topps Series 2 item of the injured Rod Barajas.
I just noticed today that Clayton Kershaw is sharing space with Barajas on the card.
You may have heard I collect Clayton Kershaw cards.
So, um, is this a Clayton Kershaw card? I mean in terms of it being listed in the Clayton Kershaw library and included in a Clayton Kershaw binder, if I had one?
(I still consider a binder devoted to one player as stalkerish. I know. That's my issue. But I'm a collecting child of the '70s, and it will always seem a little weird to me).
So that's my question.
Simple question. Simple post.
Now, back to doing things I don't want to on MY VACATION.
(Where is that damn box of Allen & Ginter?)
Comments
why not? - I think it is pretty cool and it may give you insight into what game the photos were taken in for other cards and other nonsense.
No, I don't actively seek these cards out. I don't consider them a part of a PC. However, and here comes the yes part, I would keep the card. Stick it in the back of the binder with the oddball stuff. I have a Lee Stevens Stadium Club chrome card from his time with the Rangers. He is covering first base and Will Clark is crossing the bag as an Oriole. It's kooky and I have a copy for my Rangers collection and a copy for my Clark PC.
That's what I get for collecting slow, white guys...
