One of Cutch's earliest Phillies autographs was in the product, 2019 Topps Luminaries.
Luminaries in case you are unaware is a very high end release. Each box contains ONLY 1 card and it is serial numbered to 15 or less copies. Boxes of 2019 Luminaries currently sell for around $400 on the secondary market.
In addition to the "base" autographs numbered to 15 copies there were also red to 10, blue to 5, and black 1/1.
The Luminaries brand celebrates Hit Kings, Home Run Kings, and Masters of the Mound by noting the player's current level of statistics for a given category.
Cutch was part of the Home Run Kings due to the fact that he is one of the active leaders in the category of round trippers.
The front of the card you will notice notes 6HR.
The back discusses Cutch's Walk off Home Run total as 6 entering the 2019 season.
Only Ryan Zimmerman (11) and Albert Pujols (12) had more Walk off homeruns among active players at the time of the production.
In case you missed it, Cutch blasted a walk off HR versus the Washington Nationals yesterday to steal a 6-5 victory for the Phillies.
I am sure that Topps will produce a Topps Now card for Cutch and I am sure I will buy it as well.
I don't think I've ever heard of Luminaries. Very cool card. Good luck with the Topps Now!
ReplyDeleteCutch is having a terrific year, and I was happy to see him hit that game winning dinger.
ReplyDeleteWowza. $400 for one card. You've gotta be a baller to bust a pack like that. Congratulations on your boy hitting another walk off home run!
