Howdy folks!
It's been over a month, so I figured it's probably time to post again.
This card is from good ol' Diamond Jesters. I had forgotten about it until it showed up about a week ago. This is the perfect card to write a short post on and get back to the blog.
A few things about this card strike me. Firstly, Riley without a beard is downright strange. Reminds me of that 2014 Topps Charlie Blackmon card (shaking my head so hard right now).
I love how the card says Official Trading Card of Baseball Fans Everywhere. I didn't know Leaf had it in them to make the 'Official' trading card.
The red is really jumping out, but kinda in a good way. I don't know what it is, but the strange color combination of red and green seems to work well with the card (and it's not even Holiday).
Would you believe that all Matt was asking for was a card older than this one???
I made a deal with myself last season that if Riley Greene bats .320 with 40 homers, I would dye my hair greene (it's a long story for those who don't know it). Unfortunately, he never did it. But I'm keeping the deal up indefinitely. Wouldn't greene hair be so nice on the blog?
Thanks for stopping by, have a great rest of the week, and happy collecting!
Good to see u back!! Riley Greene w/o a beard is something I never thought I’d see 😂
ReplyDeleteI can see Greene hitting 40 home runs, but a .320 average might be tough...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. If he does it though, I'll be held to my word...
DeleteA. Cool card. I really like the 1989 Pro Set design. The "official" thing is kinda funny.
ReplyDeleteB. Considering only three guys hit .320 or over last year... and only one of them hit over 40 home runs (Judge)... I'm guessing you won't need to purchase that dye any time soon :D
