I always like to go through the current Topps set and pick out my favorites for a blog post. Here is the 2012 edition.
2012 Topps #15 Melky Cabrera
Melky apparently saves a home run. What a play! Let's look at that again.
2012 Topps Opening Day #49 Melky Cabrera
I love it when I find Photoshop twins like this. I did not see too many of these this year.
2012 Topps #117 Carlos Ruiz
Carlos is having such a great year and has been rewarded with an All-Star berth.
2012 Topps #57 Yuniesky Betancourt
Nice action shot. You don't often see a shot of an infielder throwing with the ball in mid-air.
2012 Topps #62 Ben Revere
Flying player shots are always a favorite.
2012 Topps #118 Miguel Olivo
Two catchers track this pop up. Hank Conger hit it and Miguel Olivo wants to catch it.
2012 Topps #300 Josh Hamilton
Hamilton's having some kind of season with 25 home runs and 73 rbis. He also set a record in All-Star voting with over 11 million votes.
2012 Topps #368 Carl Crawford
Your classic collision at the plate shot.
2012 Topps #371 Jim Thome
Good luck in Baltimore, Jim!
2012 Topps #376 Carlos Quentin
The classic bat across the shoulders shot.
2012 Topps #407 Torri Hunter
Here's a couple of happy fellows. And Hank Conger in the background again.
2012 Topps #494 Darwin Barney
Maybe the best flying baseball player card ever.
2012 Topps #585 Jimmy Paredes
I think this is the only bubble-gum bubble blowing card I have this year.
The Darwin Barney card looks unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteFlying guys. Levitating guys. That is what I collect. Though I am a fan of that Darwin Barney card, I am more a fan of Jonny Gomes 2008 UD. As for levitation, I lean towards Dee Gordon's 2011 Topps card.
ReplyDeleteHi Erin. You probably mean Gordon's Topps Update from 2011. Yes, that is an awesome flying card. I posted that sometime last fall.
ReplyDeleteI actually have the Marco Scutaro base and Op. Day twins from 2010, as well as his update card. That is pretty cool that you got both Melky's too!
