22 + 78 = 100 and it's awesome!!!

I spoke about these Elite before when I showed the 2014 counterparts.  You can revisit that post here.

I like die-cuts for baseball cards.  I'll admit it.

I also really like math.

Math is fun and these Elite cards prove it.

Elite has a pair of die-cuts that are relevant to the player's jersey number.  

In this case, Andrew McCutchen's jersey number is 22 so the "Status"  card is limited to 22 copies.
The "Inspirations" is limited to 100-player's jersey number.  This being 78.


22 + 78 = 100
The Status /22 is my most recent pickup of a card I have wanted for 5+ years.  I couldn't believe how cheap this low numbered card went for.

What are some of your favorite die-cuts ever made?

Have you been able to get any cards you've wanted for 5+ years recently for pennies on the dollar? Any bargains that have also been top 10 card wants? Share your stories below

100-Jersey Number = X

Elite has a really cool parallel where they make the purple status pararallel numbered to the player's jersey number and the blue inspirations limited to 100-jersey number
By now everyone on here should know that Cutch's main jersey number since breaking into the majors is 22.
Thus....
78
+
22
=100

That is a pretty cool idea that Panini did

The backs are identical
The two prefix numbers on the serial numbering 20+14=34

Who has the most memorable number 34 for you in any sport?
