2014 Panini Immaculate Collection Immaculate Hitters Josh Reddick

I picked up this card last month because I saw it and I thought it was cool. Sometimes I wonder if there is a group of collectors out there who spend their time 'enforcing' prices on eBay. Like they don't really collect anything specific, but if they see a card going cheaper than they think it should be worth they bid it up to an acceptable level. Or maybe they are disgruntled former collectors of a player and can't bear to see a card sell for less than they paid for their copy of it. I've probably been guilty of that last one a time or two.

This card wasn't a case of that, though, it just happens to be something I was thinking about today. This is a 2014 Panini Immaculate Collection Immaculate Hitters relic card. In 2014 this would have been a coveted jersey number serial number, but he gave up the number 16 to Billy Butler when 'Country Breakfast' signed on with the A's for 2015. Now he wears the number 22 on his jersey. This card features a nice swatch with some bits of patchwork and the full serial number is # 16 / 20. My Reddick collection has kind of fallen by the wayside lately as I've been pulled in other directions. I'm still a fan, though, and it's nice to add a card here and there when a chance comes up. There are still a few cards I need for that 2013 Josh Reddick Topps Super Rainbow I'm working on, so I still scan the listings pretty regularly for his cards. There's actually a printing plate that would fill a spot in that collection up on eBay right now, but the sticker price is a bit higher than I can stomach at the moment. I may come around eventually and pay the price, or it will disappear back into the darkness and I'll wonder every so often what ever became of it.
