Ground Chuck Update

Chris from The Collector suggested that I show off some other Pirates players I collect when I asked for some writer's block suggestions.  I figured I would honor that request.

Another of my main Player Collections is former Pirates pitcher and 2017 World Series Game 7 Winning Pitcher, Charlie Morton.

My reasons for collecting Ground Chuck are because he was my favorite pitcher of the 2009 Pirates pitching staff AND he was born in my hometown.

I haven't posted many Charlie Morton updates here since I predicted he would be the winning pitcher for the Astros in the 2017 World Series.  Gavin from Baseball Card Breakdown even made a post about my bold prediction.

So because it has been a very long time since I showed off any Morton cards I thought I would share SOME of my Morton cards I have acquired over the past few years.  I won't bore anyone with base cards or standard parallels.

I picked up a couple of the 2020 Archives Active Signatures.  They feature a blue label on top

I also picked up a few of the 2019 Archives Active Player Autos.  They feature a red label on top.


So theres a few of my Charlie Morton updates.  Prior to leaving the Pirates in 2016, I had every non 1/1 for the NJ born Morton.
