I was watching a rerun of Expedition Unknown on Discovery Channel and learned that Thursday is named after the Norse God of Lightning, Thor.
I have always enjoyed watching the baseball version of Thor pitch so I have been picking up a few autographs of his over time. It's nothing really special, but I do like having a small bit of variety to my PC besides just Collecting Cutch with some Clemente, Bettis, and Morton sprinkled in.
I am starting the PC not because he has a cool nickname (although that helps).
It clearly isn't for any rooting interest of my home team either (although the Mets are much closer geographically than Pittsburgh)
It's partially because I think building a side PC of a guy on my mom's favorite team could be fun since I really don't see her much anymore and looking at a stack of Mets cards from time to time could bring back some of the good memories we had.
I only have one rookie of Thor. It is a pack pulled Chrome Prism Refractor.
Are there any PCs you are building that people don't know about?
That prism refractor is awesome. Didn’t know this about you - thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteNope. Ive dabbled in a few Yankees prospects, but I don’t have the heart to do it.
ReplyDeleteI've been collecting Buster Posey cards for a few years. I haven't published it on my website... but I'm sure I've mentioned it on my blog.
ReplyDeletePretty funny to announce this mini-collection right after he gives up ten runs in a start.
ReplyDeleteI know. Hoping after that start people will be willing to part with their cards after that career worse start.
