A Top 10 List Part 2: Rookie Year cards

I promised that every 10th day or so, I would reveal one of ten categories I want to add to my Cutch collection.  These 10 posts will become a map for where I want my collection to go and help keep the collection focused.  
Over the years I have had a Pokemon "gotta catch em all" type mentality when it came to my Andrew McCutchen collection.
With the current baseball card market and Cutch not playing for my favorite team anymore, I am now looking towards the past to focus on the future of the collection.
Today, I am going to have this post focus on the "rookie year" Cutch.

He made his MLB debut in 2009.

I showed off a 2009 Upper Deck SP Authentic silver foil card limited to only 59 copies recently and it is one of my favorite pickups of the year.  I love that it is a rare rookie card of my favorite athlete and would love to grab some more rare rookie cards of Cutch.  
The majority of Cutch rookie debut cards I need are mostly limited to serial number cards /50 or less with the majority being 1/1s.  

Something about having those rare rookie year cards brings great joy to my collection.
Like the above 2009 Bowman Chrome Superfractor or the Orange /25
or the Logoman from the 2008 Futures Game Jersey found on the below 2009 Topps Unique 1/1
