Not an easy task trying to gather usable photos of September call-ups!<br /><br />To me, the biggest thing I look for in a card is a story within the picture or a unique shot. Don't get me wrong, action shots are awesome, but once you've seen twenty pitchers in the middle of a wind-up, you've seen them all. You know? <br /><br />The All-Star card is a nice one, because it has a story behind it, "Oh, this card commemorates LaHair and Castro's All-Star appearance." The Sveum is a nice example of a unique shot. Shots of managers making a phone call to the bullpen don't usually make it to cardboard! Nice job!<br /><br />Just an idea for you to kick around. I'd vote for three more cards: 1 card of the #1 draft pick (Albert Almora), 1 card of the Cubs minor league hitter of the year (Logan Watkins), and 1 card of the Cubs minor league pitcher of the year (Nick Struck). When I was collecting in the late 80's and early 90's Topps had draft pick cards and Future Star cards. They were so cool! I can still picture the cards of Ty Griffin and Mike Harkey in my head. <br /><br />I wish I had your computer skills. Keep up the good work!<br /><br /><br />P-town Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437348006643978055noreply@blogger.com
