Atomic Yankee

Andrew McCutchen hasn't had many Yankees cards produced thus far by Topps.

There was a Short Print in 2018 Update, a Topps Now Postseason Wild Card Game, and an image of him wearing a Yankees uniform for a Topps Now Off-season signing (with Phillies logo in corner).

The only Yankees cards with multiple parallels to chase are his Bowman Best cards.

So far all I have gotten is the Atomic Refractor.  I will likely pick up some of the color parallels in February after the prices drop a little bit more as I have been spending way too much money on his Giants super high end releases recently.

The back talks about his April 7th game where he went 6 for 7 with a stolen base. His final hit of the night was a walk off homerun.

Cutch is highly radioactive Dubnium

I have always thought that the atomic refractors from Topps Chrome products look the best.  Superfractors are awesome too, but the Atomic Refractor has a look to it like "shit is about to get real".

The low numbered atomic refractors from Cutch's early MVP caliber seasons have evaded me for a long time.

Well, one finally popped up for sale for his 2014 Chrome and I had to have it.

It's numbered to only 10 copies and like I said, these don't show up very often.  Another Cutch collector has already reached out to me trying to get it.  I'm torn if I want to trade it though.

The card number is 105 and if you look at the Periodic Table of Contents for this atomic level of cardboard you will see that 105 is the highly unstable radioactive synthetic element, Dubnium.

Cutch was radioactive in 2014 when he followed up his MVP season with another top 3 finish for the NL MVP
