I love getting Cutch cards from his Pirates playing days. Prime Cutch is the best!!!
It's why I made it one of my goals this year to add 50 new Cutch cards to the collection from 2005-2017.
I am keeping pace with adding roughly 1 new Cutch card to the collection from that era and it has been an absolute blast getting some of these rarer cards.
Case in point is the exhibit above.
2014 Bowman Purple Ice.
For being a "paper" Bowman card, this card pops and shines almost like a chrome card.
The purple ice parallels were limited to only 10 copies. Odds for pulling one of these aren't available, but they were hobby pack exclusives.
Growing up I watched a lot of cartoons. Cartoons eventually got me into comic books and I remember the first comic book I ever bought had Gambit on it. Gambit was my favorite of the X-Men because of his cool powers and quick wit.
Oddly enough though, my favorite episode of the Fox Kids X-Men cartoon didn't feature Gambit at all. It introduced viewers to a government sponsored group of mutants called X-Factor.
X-Factor 100 was the second comic book I ever bought and it was because it had a shiny foil cover with Havoc holding a lifeless Madrox, the Multiple Man.
Many other things would happen over the course of comics including the X-books, but I always remember the excitement I had when I grabbed those newsstand copies that featured some of my favorite comic characters.
Cold Comfort remains my favorite go to episode of any cartoon (X-Men or other) and I just got done watching it on Disney+ a few moments ago.
Whenever it gets into the summer I always quote the first line of the episode "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" half a dozen a times.
In addition to introducing the viewers to X-Factor, the episode also introduced us to Bobby Drake aka Iceman.
For hoping for some cooler temperatures in the coming days, I am going to show some Ice parallels from Bowman Platinum.

Are there any cartoons you remember watching as a kid that you still enjoy watching as an adult?
