Just another Five Star Silver Ink Autograph from 2019

It's only numbered to 30 copies

It goes nicely with this one I showed off back in November

Tier 1 Giants Pickups

While I didn't hit anything big in my player break I showed off a few weeks ago, I have been adding to my McCutchen collection by grabbing some more 2019 Tier One cards.

This jumbo patch appears to be part of the "22" worn on the back of the jersey.  It is numbered to only 20 copies.

I also picked up another autograph.  I think I have to be nearing 200 unique autos at this point. 

The sticker auto is on a grey jersey swatch and is limited to 30 copies.

The Missing Piece

2018 saw a large rise of Andrew McCutchen autographs in Topps products.  One such release included Topps Silver Pack 1983 Autographs.

Every player had the same low numbers for Superfractor (1/1), Red (/5), and Orange (/25).

The base numbers were all numbered differently for each player.

Some players like Mark McGwire and Clayton Kershaw actually had less base cards (/10) than the orange (/25).  Rookies and prospects like Brandon Woodruff and Clint Frazier had numbers in the 99 to 199 range for their base autos.

Guys like Javier Baez and Alex Bregman had 50 base printed and former stars like Will Clark and Darryl Strawberry had 99 copies.

Cutch had 30 produced for his sticker auto base.

The image may look familar as I have shown it's rainbow peers on here before.

It pairs with these others nicely.

 Superfractor 1/1

 Red Refractor 2/5

Orange Refractor 12/25

This was the missing piece I needed to complete my very first autograph rainbow of Cutch in a Giants uniform.

I will return to more Pirates programming tomorrow...and it includes a contest.
