Henry the DBack

Sluggo and I ran up to the LCS to pick up some cards. I wasn't going to buy anything for myself but as usual, I don't do very good at that. I did only spend $10 and I came away with 23 cards (20 of those were $1) and a publication. You'll see those when they get randomed up in the future.

Today, you'll get one of the few Wolverines currently on a MLB roster. 

Tommy started 9 games this past season for the Diamondbacks. He doesn't have a ton of cards, mostly from the year he was drafted (see above). He's only had 6 cards this year and that is 1 Topps Now card with 5 parallels. I didn't even know they had parallels of Topps Now. I'm hoping since he was called up later in the season, he'll have a card in the Update release but I haven't checked the checklist yet.

These 2 cards came from Sportlots and give me 8 of Tommy.

Tommy Sunday

I finally got my cards logged and scanned so I'm ready to go again for another round. Just a quick hitter tonight, it's an auto that I've been looking for awhile and finally stumbled on at the card show yesterday.

I paid $6 for this Tommy Henry auto, it's numbered to /99 and he's in the Maize and Blue which makes it even better. I've been hoping to come across some Michigan baseball autos.

This is only the 6th card of Tommy Henry.

Purple Henry

I always enjoy picking up former Wolverines but I especially like running into former baseball Wolverines as they are a lot harder to come by so I'm alway happy to pick up some.

Part of the reason it's harder to find is the year they get drafted, they get Bowman cards and then you don't see anything for a few years until they make it to the pros. You might get some minor league cards in between. This is only my 5th card of Tommy Henry. I picked it up at the card show last weekend. I have 3 different versions of the Bowman and 2 minor league cards. Hopefully he'll make the pros soon so I can build a better collection.

2 days

The Michigan baseball team squeeked into the playoffs and got seeded in South Bend at Notre Dame. Guess who lives near South Bend and has tickets to go see them on Friday night? Yep, this guy. I'm hoping ND and Michigan both win on Friday so they match up on Saturday. I'm pretty hyped to go to my first Michigan baseball game. 2 days!!!

Fittingly enough, today's random popped up with some former Wolverine baseball players. I picked up 1 card each of 5 different players. Some of them are even new collections.

We'll start off with Tommy Henry. This is my 4th card of his. This is a Heritage minors card which he still is in the minors. I don't see any MLB stats for him so maybe he'll get a fall call-up. He is in the DBacks organization.

Same goes for Jeff Criswell as he is still in the minors as well. The difference is, I only have 3 cards of his but this my first pro card as the other 2 are USA cards.

I also picked up another Jesse Franklin card and as with Criswell, this is my first pro card. The other one is a Wolverines uniform card. In case you haven't guessed it, I have 2 cards of Jesse.

Now on to the new player collections.

I picked up my first card of Jorgan Nwogu. I actually got to see him (and the next player) play (on TV) because Michigan made the college World Series in 2019 so they actually broadcasted quite a few of their games on TV.

Jordan was on that 2019 team as well and was the Big Ten player of the year that year. This is a Heritage Minors card as well and he is in the Astros organization.

Old and New Maize and Blue

* I put my February purchases on random for today's post.

Well, Indiana is going under a stay-at-home order tomorrow at midnight. As of now, I'm working tomorrow but I'm pretty sure it'll be my last day for awhile. I don't think an RV factory is considered an essential business but they haven't officially announced that we are shutting down. The wife asked me to stop buying cards today. Lucky for me, I purchased this past weeks cards on Sportlots last night and shipped what was in my box so I did it just in the nick of time. So I'll have cards to post next month and hopefully this doesn't last more than a few weeks but you never know.

Enough of that talk though, let's show the cards. Today, they are all former Wolverines but only 3 of them go into the Wolverines collection. The other 2 are the first of a new player collection.

Oddly enough, I didn't have any cards of Tom Harmon so I picked me up a couple. When I went to enter them, I realized he only has 38 cards so that's probably why it took so long to get some of Ole #98.

I do have some of Zach Putnam though. Michigan collection cards and White Sox collection cards. Actually, White Sox card, as in singular. I'm not sure why I only have one but I'm guessing when I get around to entering my box of cards of the Sox collection, I'll find some more. This card makes 8 cards of Putnam, 5 of those are autographs in Michigan uniforms so there is that going for me.

These 2 cards of the former Wolverine are the first of this player collection. Although TCDB says he has over 150 so I'm going to have to go looking for some more.

All these cards were purchased on Sportlots for under $.50/each. I went looking for some Michigan cards and came up with these. Being as you can't search for teams, it's a little difficult to find cards for that collection.
