A very long card description

I just got in a shipment of nearly 200 cards from COMC.  It has everything from McCutchen to Morton to Clemente to minor league cards of all-stars, pink parallels, nonsports cards, and even some cards for you guys.

It is going to be a fun month showing off all these cards.  Of course the pink ones will have to wait until October.

One card that I got is such a ridiculously long card title though.  It helps to complete a rainbow that I wrote about here.  Shortly after that post someone posted one for sale at an extremely good deal.

In case you don't know what you're looking at, let me tell you the card description

2019 Topps Gold Label Class 1 Blue Parallel numbered to only 150 copies.

Exhausting card title, I know.

Advance Stats

Advance Stats was a new parallel inserted into 2019 Topps.  Previous years had a few players with sabremetric parallels, but not the entire set.

The advance stats are,numbered to only 150 copies.

Side by side is the base next to the advance stats.

The advance stats on the back clearly show that Cutch is still an above average major leaguer.

Value from a Case break

I don't join too many player breaks because often times the reward isn't worth the risk.

However, sometimes deals just present themselves that are too good to pass up.

For $5 delivered I was the winner for an 8 box/1case player break of Andrew McCutchen.  My winning bid got me a base card and a blue refractor numbered to 150.

Here's the screenshot of the Cutch blue being pulled.

With no insert cards, no autographs, no relics, it's no wonder the break for Cutch went so cheap.  Basically people were gambling on pulling a color parallel.  For $5 delivered and 8 cases to break I knew I would hit at least a base card and it would be fun to watch the break unfold hopimg to see someone pull an Otani or Albies mojo hits.  At worse I overpay by about $4 for a base card.  I am willing to take that risk.
