Over the past few months I have been dabbling in eTopps minor league cards for funsies. I don't usually do any prospecting or minor league card collecting but these guys are pretty much a sure thing to get to the majors, especially Mike Trout.
Here are the cards I have been able to snag on eTopps website:
Mike Trout
Manny Banuelos
Gary Sanchez
I was most interested in the Sanchez for my collection, and was super happy that I got one of those. The Mike Trout is more of an investment card at this point, I will probably end up flipping it when he gets closer to making his debut in the majors.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if Topps used this design on cards that they release for hobby products. I think the design is cool and different- something we all like to see.
Did anyone else snag some minor league eTopps cards?
I like these too, but haven't bought any from this season. I took the Eric Hosmer card in hand last year and it looks great. Of course, I'm anxious to see if they make a Bryce Harper at some point this year...
ReplyDeleteprobably a dumb collection but how does etopps work?

I like the Tampa Yankee jersey, might need to get one of those. You're right, these are really nice looking cards.
ReplyDeleteMy interest is piqued as well, how does eTopps work?
