card, and now I will have to do some detective work to figure out if it's an SP/SSP or just a joke card like the Cliff Lee HK patch base card.Take a look, what do you think?
This will be interesting as more people get deliveries of their cases, or break the ones they have.Update: It's still early in opening this product, but it looks as though these cards are parallels. Several different players have showed up with the little twinkle. Some of them have been done well based on the pictures I've seen. Other not so much. I really like the Halladay version of the card though.
This Ike Davis one is ok.
Don't care for the David Price.
By the way, these pics are from BrentandBecca's cases break.
Someone theorized it might be like the pie cards. Could it be all the pitchers who threw a no hitter last year?

@Flash, good point, that could be it. As a Halladay collector, I noticed this right away, but the price they have (even for a best offer listing) is out of control. I need to find out what it's all about before I drop any money on it. It's a cool card, though.
ReplyDeleteIf it is for no-hitters then Halladay is the only one with it Series 1. Dallas Braden, Edwin Jackson, Ubaldo Jimenez and Matt Garza are absent from Series 1.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a cool looking card. If perhaps one of my favorite players wound up with a similar one, I'd buy if it was a decent price.
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be a bunch of them, with no rhyme or reason. One of the blowout posters said they got four in a case, so those odds aren't that long...
ReplyDeletesaw a mariano rivera one on the Bay. the other "DIAMOND SPARKLE" cards were hard for me to make out on the scan.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why Ike Davis would warrant a twinkle.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's one per team?
