This 2015 Immaculate Collection card features 9 (YES 9!!!!) patches of some the game's best (at that time) players at each position.
Pitcher- Clayton Kershaw
Catcher - Buster Posey
1B - Jose Abreu
2B - Robinson Cano
3B - Miguel Cabrera (he moved to 3rd so Prince Fielder could play 1st for the Tigers)
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
Outfielders - Giancarlo Stanton, Andrew McCutchen, Mike Trout
The card is limited to only 10 copies and is serially numbered on the back.
Buster Posey had a tremendous 12 year career and looked to completely reignite his career after taking 2020 off for COVID concerns. He finished his career with many accomplishments.
The biggest knocks on Posey will be only 1,500 career hits and only 729 RBI.
Joe Mauer retired after the 2018 season and Yadier Molina is retiring after next season. All three could be candidates for the Hall of Fame as they were perennial All Stars year after year. The Hall of Fame ballot could get loaded with deserving guys in the next few years especially if the steroid guys stay on the ballot (Rodriguez, Ortiz, Manny)

Do you have any favorite Buster Posey cards in your collection?
Do you think he makes the Hall of Fame?
I think he'll get in. The numbers definitely trailed off a bit, and I honestly thought he retired like two or three years ago. But I think he did enough in a short burst, especially for a catcher, to warrant HOF status.
ReplyDeleteHe should make it in. All that hardware he earned will put him in.
ReplyDeleteProject 70 Card #117, by Blake Jamieson is my favorite card of the future HOF catcher.
ReplyDeletenice card. Posey is in my PC's, just not sure if he gets in.
ReplyDeleteSpelling out "ARG", that triple patch could almost be considered a Pirates card. lol
ReplyDeleteI think he'll get in after a few years. Nice relics!
