Get Aboard the Tardis

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!

Jenna Louise Coleman
Strangely enough like so many other of the lovely featured this month, there is very few pictures of Coleman showing massive signs of cleavage.

She appears to be a classy lady.

As so many of these pictures show.
When it comes to British TV shows, the only one I could consistently watch was Doctor Who.
Something about that Police Box aka Tardis just seems so cool to me.

Coleman is a British actress best known for her role in Doctor Who.




The design for the 2018 Home Run Challenge cards remind me of a promotion ad for Doctor Who with the Tardis traveling through time and space in the background.


The July winners were rose colored. McCutchen's copy was numbered to only 17 copies.  I predicted my date of July 31st which was a bold move considering all the trade rumors surrounding Cutch at the non waiver deadline.

Do any of you watch Doctor Who?

The Perfect Design

Demi Rose Mawby

In today's world of so many social media options it is no surprise that a young woman like Demi Rose Mawby has become a well known model despite not modeling anything in America.

The short and busty twenty something has taken advantage of her physical features by using twitter and Instagram to become famous.

While we haven't been privileged to see her in any American films or anything but posed Instagram photos, she is still fun to look at.
Many of her photos feature her showing off her bikini and stunning body on the beach.

After looking at Demi Rose Mawby's pictures at the request of GCA, I can clearly see why he chose this beautiful woman to help kick off the first week of SaveTheBoobies 2018 event.  He recommended her when I did a recap of all the cards I showed off last year.  He also recommended her last year, but I wasn't able to fit her in.

She looks like she was perfectly created to be stared at despite her miniature stature 5ft3
The front and back are perfectly crafted.

Speaking of miniature and beautiful designs, is there anything better than 1987 Topps in terms of classic designs?

1987 Topps is the first set I ever collected.  The wood grain borders resembled the classic 1962 set while the team logo in the corner helped young collectors quickly spot their favorite teams while sorting through packs. The player's name is also in team colors.

This particular parallel is the red/rose/maple variant, but for the same of this month the extremely limited /25 fits the "shades of pink" category.

And much like Mawby...the backside is perfect too.  It contains comprehensive career stats, the most recent year, trivia about the player, random baseball trivia, and of course all the player demographic data.

It's the perfect baseball card.

Front and back!

Ruby + Rose = Shark Week Cameo

Last night on Shark Week actress Ruby Rose appeared.  She is starring in the new shark movie, The Meg that releases August 10th.

As silly as the concept may be for a dinosaur sized shark attacking the oceans I can't deny my joy and excitement I have for this movie.  Then again I just love shark movies.
I also have a weird love for hot girls with tattoos.


So what kind of cards do I have that can tie together my love of Andrew McCutchen baseball cards with an upcoming shark movie starring Jason Statham and Ruby Rose?

How about two baseball cards produced by Topps?

First up the Ruby parallel numbered to 1/1 from 2016 Triple Threads.

Then a 2017 Topps 1987 Rose parallel numbered to 25 copies. (This card will make another appearance in October as part of the SaveTheBoobies pink Breast Cancer Awareness feature I do.)



It's the 30th anniversary of Shark Week this year and last year was the 30th anniversary of 1987 Topps.  Fitting segue, right?

I hope for those Finatics out there you are all enjoying Shark Week. I know I am.
