It's Not Real

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Visit the official site here.

Breast Cancer will be detected in one of eight women in the US each year.

It is the second leading cause of cancer death among women each year.

On average every 2 minutes a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes one person will die from breast cancer.
There are currently 33 million breast cancer survivors in the USA.

It's important to support the research for cancer.  Breast Cancer is often associated with the color pink so I will be showing off some pink Cutch cards.

In addition, you can expect to see some boobs with each post.  Who doesn't love boobs?

So let's start with what we're hoping to save!


This post may seem a bit strange as it will feature a few diffenent ladies who all have one thing in common.

They have all voiced or played the fictional character Harley Quinn.


Margot Robbie brought the character to life on the big screen with her depiction of the zany Arkham Asylum inmate.

Margot stole the show in the film Suicide Squad. 

Her version was spot on for how Harley would interact with other super villains and her absolute love for Mr. J aka The Joker.

The roller derby design is my favorite of Harley Quinn, especially when cosplayed by Angie Griffin (she was spotlighted yesterday).

When the character was first introduced by creator Bruce Timm on The Batman Animated Series she carried a massive wooden hammer and was voiced by Arleen Sorkin.

Sorkin was the inspiration for the character's personality and the main reason why so many fans fell in love with the character.  Fun Fact:Sorkin is married to on screen nutcase Christopher Lloyd.  Great Scott!!!!!

The character has been voiced by many more voice actresses including Hynden Walch who actually has a bit of physical similarity to the former psychiatrist turned psycho.


Quinn will be voiced in a brand new solo animated series by everyone's favorite waitress neighbor of the geekiest nerds on TV.  

Yup, Kaley Cuoco who plays the,character Penny on The Big Bang Theory will be voicing Harley Quinn this year.
While the character's appearance has slightly changed over the years, the personality certainly remains. 

Recently Quinn has carried a standard baseball bat often dressed with graffiti.

Harley Quinn may not be real and sadly neither is this Pink Bat Knob numbered to 25 copies produced by Topps.

Topps made 3 different parallels of these manufactured relics in 2015. They included standard wood (not numbered), black (/99), and pink (/25).  I have all three different parallels.



Who are some of your favorite fictional female characters?

Researching the Relic: 1/1 Bat Knob

I love alliteration.  It's fun for making catching titles.

A few weeks ago I showed a bunch of manufactured bat knobs, bat barrels, and fielding gloves.  I said that it was a sneak peek of something big to come.

So here's the thing.  This card was listed with an eBay reserve and 9 day auction.  That time felt like forever to end.

I love this card!  Even without logos, it's still one of my favorites in my impressive collection of over 1,400 unique cards of Cutch.



You may notice that the bat knob has a PSA/DNA sticker on it.  This makes it easy to research the relic.

Here is the PSA link authenticating the bat.  If you don't want to view the link, here is the image of the bat authenticated by PSA.

I wonder if a bat barrel nameplate will be made in the future.

A Sneak Peak

Today I received a card in the mail which is one of the coolest cards in my Cutch PC.  I don't want to show it off just yet.

Instead I will merely show you some Topps manurelics I have acquired over the years.

Topps has produced bat barrells, bat knobs, fielding gloves, hat logos, etc over the years.  I hope they one day make some batting gloves.  I think that would be awesome.

Anyway here's some knobs

And here is a knob and barrel
Not very tough to come by, but the card I will show off in the future is incredibly hard to come by.

And here is another manurelic of the equipment kind
