The (Evil) Empire Strikes Back

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!

I have no idea who this is, but it certainly is an attention grabber....and it features a nice look at this month's prominent color.

The Yankees are on the brisk of elimination at their rival, the Boston Red Sox. While I don't like the "Evil Empire" I do enjoy the thought of two of my favorite Pirates in recent years (Neil Walker and Andrew McCutchen) having the chance to play deeper into the postseason.

Here are my top 5 women wearing Yankees hats to try and hope they can pull out a victory so that Cutch may chase his World Series ring.

1. Kate Upton

2. Jennifer Lopez

3. Minka Kelly

4. Christina Aguilera (how dare you betray the Burgh)

5. Selena Gomez


To the surprise of many fans, this isn't the first time that Cutch has worn pinstripes. During his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cutch would wear an alternate pinstripe uniform.

It can be seen on this 2009 Topps Update 1/1 Magenta Printing Plate. It's his rookie card.

I remember getting this plate from Sportlots for only $15 in 2010.  That was a massive coup for me.

Going Green: Going Platinum

The challenge was thrown yesterday by Chris of The Collector.

"If you can post Green Cutch cards every day from now until St. Patty's Day I will be very impressed. I'd be even more impressed if you could throw us another Irish lass."


Did you know that Christina Aguilera was of Irish Heritage?

Me neither.

I did know that she was from Pittsburgh and regularly visits games.

The platinum selling artist claims that she is part Irish.

She must get her skin tones from her Latin father.

The bottled genie shared in an interview how when her mom was raising her they would deck out the house with shamrock and leprechauns everywhere.

So how do I tie in today's Irish Heritage platinum selling megastar singer to an Andrew McCutchen baseball card.

Platinum,  Green, ok here's today's card

This is another run of cards that I am very close to completing the rainbow.  I need the gold (1/1) and purple (/250)
