Sweet 16!!!
If the regular season starts on time and isn't delayed because of the Coronavirus scare, there will be two former MVPs and former Yankees/Team USA teammates that will be on the injured list.
Giancarlo Stanton suffered a calf strain and is expected to miss Opening Day.
Andrew McCutchen tore his ACL last June and is also expecting to miss Opening Day.
Here is a dual laundry tag 1 of 1 I never showed off.
It pairs well with this dual patch numbered to 10 copies I also never showed off.
Which pairs nicely with this dual relic I have shown off a few times.
It is numbered 16/49.
The card number for the set is also 16.
They look pretty good together.

Serial History: Super Bowl Connection
In case you're living under a rock, today is Super Bowl Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs will be facing off against the San Francisco 49ers.
I am going to show off a pair of Black parallels that relate to the cities and then I will talk about the best black athlete from each team in my opinion.
Cutch played only a few months with the San Francisco Giants to start the 2018 season.
This particular autograph from 2018 Topps Brooklyn Collection, black parallel is numbered 7/10.
There is a lot of Super Bowl connections with that serial numbering.
The 7 represents the former 49ers Quarterback who was under center the last time the San Francisco 49ers were in the Super Bowl.
I am of course talking about Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick was an above average quarterback, but in his final two seasons was below average. He has Been out of the NFL for a few seasons and has a career passer rating of 88.9 and a completion percentage under 60%. In his final two seasons the 49ers went 3-16 under his guide and his QBR was 43.4 and 49.5 resepectively in those final two seasons. 50 is average QBR.
He began to become an activist and spokesperson for racial inequality when he took a knee during the National Anthem. Kaepernick started the movement in response to police brutality, but has continued to be outspoken regarding equal rights for all races.
In addition to being an activist he is also a devoted Christian with several tattoos representing God and Jesus Christ on his arms.
In 2015 he became a vegan and has been following that lifestyle ever since.
He has recently been in the news because the NFL refused to air a PETA commercial that Kaepernick endorsed.
The card that the print run is numbered to /10) represents the current quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo.
I won't go into any comments about Jimmy G but I think that Patrick Mahomes is the better QB in this year's Super Bowl.
Andrew McCutchen is a five time All-Star. One of his All-Star game appearances was in 2012 in Kansas City. Cutch had two cards in 2012 Topps Update to represent his All-Star appearance. In addition to being selected as a participant he also took Giancarlo Stanton's place in the Homerun Derby. I am still missing a homerun derby (US9) card but do have his All-Star game card in the Black parallel.
My particular copy of US87 is numbered 15/61.
Wanna guess the connection of 15/61 to this year's Super Bowl?
Well Patrick Mahomes, the superstar Quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs is number 15.
Mahomes was born the son of longtime journeyman relief pitcher, Pat Mahomes.
He showed a promising career as a pitcher and toolsy outfielder and was drafted out of high school by the Detroit Tigers. He ultimately decided to play football and in his first full season won the NFL MVP. Were it not for an injury early in this past year, he would have likely garnered some additional MVP votes.
He is only 24 years old and has a completion percentage of nearly 66% with a 76-18 TD-INT ratio.
If he has a big game today he could become not only the face of the NFL, but one of the most popular athletes in any sport globally.
I am picking Chiefs to win 36-20.

This Day in Cutchstory: Quality Control?
Where the heck is the quality control at Topps?
They release a high end set with a suggested retail price of roughly $300 per box and said box contains only 1 card.
The design is awesome.
The box it comes in is equally awesome.
The information about dynastic deeds is awesome.
IF ONLY IT WERE TRUE THOUGH!!!
Look up the boxscore for April 20th, 2017. The Diamondbacks played the San Diego Padres and lost easily 4-1.
Was Cutch a member of the Padres then?
Nope!
Ugh....

Majestic Museum Addition
A few weeks ago Nike and MLB agreed to an exclusive license agreement that would have all players wear Nike footwear and uniforms beginning in 2020. Details can be found here.
At one point it was discussed that Under Armour would take over the rights in 2020, but last year the agreement was broken leaving the opportunity for Nike to take over and claim three quarters of the North American sports enterprises.
This means that all relic cards will no longer have a chance at featuring a Majestic logo. Majestic had been the sole producer of on field jerseys for MLB since 2004.
I have a lot of Majestic patches and may one day show them all off.
Here is one of my most recent pickups.
It's from 2016 Topps Museum and is numbered to only 10 copies.

Majestic delivery from Canada
EBay has been running some ridiculous good programs lately allowing members to save up to 20% single purchases or offering 12% eBay bucks. I took advantage of these deals in massive ways and will be having some mega cards for the collection show up soon.
This one is pretty awesome though.
It marks my 191st 1/1 for the collection.
The fact that it features the Majestic logo and an autograph (albeit a sticker) makes this graded card a welcomed addition to the collection.

Majestic Logo 1/1
In my endless pursuit to add as many Andrew McCutchen cards to my collection as possible, I have been adding some really nice high end 1/1s lately.
National Treasures always seems to have some ridiculous cards in their set each year. Picking up a 1/1 Majestic Logo was necessary as beginning in 2020 we will see Under Armour on the jerseys.
The back of the card features information about his second career 3 Homer night. I will talk about that game more in the future.
