I picked up a couple of Topps Supreme autographs recently. In what has become a recurring theme lately, one of them was an example of a card I already had in my collection. This first one is nearly the same as a card I already had, but it is at least a different parallel which means those little triangular swooshes at the bottom of the card are a different color and the print run is different. This one is the Orange parallel of Munenori Kawasaki's 2013 Topps Supreme autograph card. It's got a nice low print run, being # 06 / 15.
Kawasaki recently signed a deal with the Cubs. I hope he gets pictured on some cards next season, although I have to wonder if he will get any playing time. The Cubs are pretty well-stocked with talent. I am a fan of Kawasaki independent of any loyalty to the Blue Jays, so the move doesn't have much effect on me either way. I just think that he had room for more playing time on the Blue Jays roster.
Here is the card I already had a copy of, a Purple autograph of Jon Singleton from 2014 Topps Supreme. This one is numbered # 16 / 25. It's a cool card, but I don't really need two of them. I can take some consolation in the fact that it was cheap, selling to me for the opening bid of $0.99 + shipping. I don't know what I paid for my original copy, but I can be pretty sure that it was more than that.
After Kawasaki signed with the Cubs the other day I watched about a dozen interviews with him. He's a fun-lowing guy!
ReplyDeleteHe has some of the best interviews out there. His body language on the field is fun to watch, too, although it's hard to see him getting a lot of playing time on that roster.
DeleteI've always loved Kawasaki and was irrationally ecstatic when I read that the Cubs signed him. Fingers crossed he at least gets to make a cameo in Chicago; but, with the MI depth the Cubs have, it's going to be an uphill battle for him.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he will have a hard time cracking that lineup. I'm definitely a fan of the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the game.
DeleteMunenori Kawasaki is one of those most entertaining guys in baseball. Congratulations on picking up that signature. Definitely need to track one down for my Japanese PC.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to pop up in runs, probably whenever someone bust a case or two of Supreme. He's a really fun player to watch.
