I Shall Call It A Mini Collection

I am a sucker for Cutch Pirates cards I don't own.

This includes cards of all shapes and sizes.  My number one card I want is a 5x7 Pepsi Refresh photo card given out at stadiums in 2010.

Other cards I am actively seeking are the early parallels of Cutch's flagship and Online Exclusive Topps Mini cards.

The gold parallel from 2012 Topps Mini was numbered to 61 copies.  That would be the equivalebt of the 2012 Topps standard release Black parallels.

Here is a scan of the two golds next to each other.  The standard size is numbered to the year (2012 in this case) while the mini is numbered to match the black flagship (61 in this case).

I will try and grab some more of these mini card parallels as they become available.

Of course in recent releases there are way more parallels to chase (blue, red, pink, platinum), but the older ones are getting pretty dried up and tough to find with each passing year.

Cardboard Cameo: Oh Austin, beeeeeehave

The finish line is in sight.  Thank you all for another fun Save Second Base event.

1 In 8 women will be detected with breast cancer in their life.  Early detection is the key.

Thanks to all the comments made we have met the goal of raising $150 to allow one 1 woman a free mammogram.

With Halloween tomorrow I was looking for some Halloween inspiration and noticed a perfect mix of Devil's Night and Halloween.

Elizabeth Hurley is that perfect mix.

Like a fine wine, she has actually gotten better with age.  Look at that body!

Not sure if it's bedazzling mojo or something else, but it is definitely working.

It seems appropriate to show off a woman who played the Devil tonight since it is Devil's Night.

When she played Satan in the Brandon Frasier comedy Bedazzled she took the phrase "hot" to another level.

It is odd that she played the Devil AFTER playing opposite Michael Myers, a name we all associate with Halloween.

However this Michael Myers was carving up laughs in Austin Powers

Oh Austin, behave...

I want to thank Chris from The Collector for pointing out this cameo appearance.

Anyone know what happened to his blog?  I was enjoying his all time roster series.

In researching the card, I learned that it didn't lead to a catch.

It actually lead to one of Cutch's best games offensively when he went 6 for 7 and hitting a walk off homer in extras

Thanks again to Chris for the tip about this cameo.

I hope you enjoyed this Devil's Day production as we lead into Halloween tomorrow.  Michael Myers will not be making an appearance tomorrow.

However if you say a name 3 times, stranger things will happen.
