Call me Ishmael

After harpooning my white whale recently, I updated my Scott Sizemore Top Ten Most Wanted List:

1. 2010 Topps 206 Mini Framed Autographs Old Mill
2. 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter #320 Mini No Card Number
3. 2010 Topps #513 Red Border (Factory Set) #/299
4. 2010 Topps #513 Black #/59
5. 2010 Bowman Chrome #189 Red Refractor #/5
6. 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter #320 Mini Silk #/10
7. 2010 Topps Triple Threads Gold #/25
8. 2010 Topps Triple Threads Sapphire #/10
9. 2010 Topps Pro Debut Futures Game Jersey Gold #/25
10. 2010 Topps Pro Debut Futures Game Patch #/5

For the second time in a month, I brought home the top card.  I hadn't seen this card since the product came out in 2010.  It's been that long waiting. 


The amazing part, is that this card isn't even the best part of the package.  I also used combined shipping to grab this for $0.99


The player image is see-through.  I grabbed it for my officemate, a West Virginia alum.  Here's wehre things get interesting.  While I paid combined shipping, it appears these cards were prepackaged as they came separately, and each included a bonus team bag full of cards.  The football cards:



Nothing amazing, though the last card in the package was great:


A nice Jayron Hosley for my VT Hokies collection.  How fortunate!  This was nothing compared to the baseball bonus, though.



Not bad...then I saw this card:


That's a pretty darn nice card to get as a bonus. 

There was one more card in the bonus pack that I absolutely cannot believe was there:


This is the Pie-in-the-Face variation of Heyward's rookie card.  I put this bad boy on eBay.  It's not often you bring home a white whale and make a profit. 

Amazing. 

Anyway, here's my updated Scott Sizemore Top Ten Most Wanted list:

1. 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter #320 Mini No Card Number
2. 2010 Topps #513 Red Border (Factory Set) #/299
3. 2010 Topps #513 Black #/59
4. 2010 Bowman Chrome #189 Red Refractor #/5
5. 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter #320 Mini Silk #/10
6. 2010 Topps Triple Threads Gold #/25
7. 2010 Topps Triple Threads Sapphire #/10
8. 2010 Topps Pro Debut Futures Game Jersey Gold #/25
9. 2010 Topps Pro Debut Futures Game Patch #/5
10. 2006 New York-Penn League Top Prospects
