Friday The 13th: Thrills, DieCuts, and Chasing

We all know the story of Friday the 13th and how Jason Voorhees would slash and cut up his victims. I am in no way going to promote that.

Instead I have this awesome Die Cut from 2013 called Cut to the Chase.  2013 was all about the "chasing" theme for Topps.  Many of their inserts had the word Chase in it and the flagship release had a chasing fact on the back.

The back features a Thrill to Chase.

Cutch did in fact break Andy Van Slyke's record on June 11th 2014 when in the bottom of the 1st inning he homered off Cubs starter Jason Hammel to deep Left Field scoring Josh Harrison.

Need one of these.
None have shown up for over a year.

After quickly paying for the item, I received a notification from the seller that it had shipped.  I looked at the tracking history
Notoriously on my lunch break.

Then one day, it stopped updating.
That proceeded to another day of a lack of updates
Then another
And another
And another

I was getting Nervous
I contacted the seller and filed a claim with the post office.

Two days later, the updates were active and my card was out for delivery.

I finally have it in my possession.
Did you read the back of the card? Did you think Marco Scutaro's name would be mentioned on a Chasing History card?

Neither did I
