Each year during the month of October, I show off only pink (and shades of pink like magenta, peach, etc) to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer, a leading cause of death for females in the United States. For each (meaningful, non spam) comment left by those that follow the blog I donate a dollar to hopefully help at least one woman get a much needed mammogram. Early detection is key!!!
If you want to make your own private donation please visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. There is a donate button on the main page and it only takes a minute of your time. Every little bit helps.
I have focused primarily on cards that only feature Andrew McCutchen on the card, but in recent years have also featured cards with a cameo appearance (either being seen on the card or as a name cameo on the back of the card). Last year I created Falco Files which discussed players that replaced (Shane Falco Replacements movie reference) on an active roster, number worn, or trade. I will continue to utilize these styles of posts as we celebrate the 4th Collecting Cutch Save Second Base event (I am no longer counting my first run on the Pirates Treasure Room I did back in 2014.)
Please be sure to click here for a Babe Ruth relic card I am offering as a contest prize to one lucky person who posts their own pink cards for the month. I am matching the $1 per comment on YOUR BLOGS too if you show off pink cards.
You ready to get started?

This 2013 Topps Archives is actually considered an orange dayglow parallel, but looks more like a soft pink in hand.
It is based on the 1985 design.
For some comment chatter ideas please discuss if you ever watched Orange is the New Black, Jane the Virgin, actresses you want to see appear as super hero characters, or Topps Dayglow cards.
Still haven't watched Orange is the New Black or Jane the Virgin. And never heard (or don't remember) hearing about those 2013 Dayglow parallels. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteMy only experience with OITNB is walking into the bedroom while my wife (who loves the show) was binge watching it and seeing some inmate squatting and peeing on the floor. Not the best first impression...
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Orange... but I've had the book sitting on my to-read shelf for quite a while.
ReplyDeletewe watched the first 3 or 4 seasons of oitnb, but haven't finished the series yet. i've also watched the first few episodes of doom patrol, but am not sure if i will continue.
ReplyDeletei picked up a pack of those day-glo cards at one of our lcs back when they were released. the guy who owned the shop seemed reluctant to participate in the promotion as i had to badger him a bit to give me a pack with my purchase. i surmised at the time that he would have rather opened all the packs and sold them as singles at a higher price.
My wife used to watch Jane The Virgin, but I never got into it. I found the intros with the guy with the thick accent rather comical.
ReplyDeleteI really love happy McCutchen cards. This is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteGood Job!
ReplyDeleteNever watched either TY her show, however, for some reason, I was already following the young lady on Instagram.
Still amazed at the cards I come across allnt y e blogs that I read...cards that I never k n ew existed.
She's a cutie for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick. I liked Orange Is The New Black. Maybe I should watch Jane The Virgin someday. I think I picked up one of those Archives dayglow cards somewhere deep in my current COMC inventory waiting to be shipped someday.
ReplyDeleteBoston and New Jersey is a great combination :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look through my card boxes this weekend and see if I have any pink cards to scan and discuss. I did find a little bit of pink for today's post.. but it's not a card.
Those '85 Archives cards are one I really like. Good post and another cutie.
ReplyDeleteI have not watched it. I like how you are introducing some new actresses this year (or rather, ones I haven’t heard of).
ReplyDeleteNever seen Orange is the New Black, but my wife watched Jane the Virgin, so I've seen a few episodes.
ReplyDeleteI really liked her in Orange.
