My favorite player of all time is Hall of Famer Willie McCovey. I
have amassed a collection of over 1100 different McCovey cards since I
started collecting him in the late 1980s. I will show off one of my
favorite cards every Monday. Stretch was one of the most feared hitters
of all time and I am excited to show off my collection.
I finally picked up a new high end McCovey and I am excited to show it off. This card comes out of 2014 Topps Museum Collection:
I think this is a beautiful looking card. I was a little disappointed to see on 2 Giants (Will Clark and Willie Mays) in the base set this year, it is always fun going after the base and parallels in this set. I find it one of the most visually appealing sets each year. However, this McCovey and some of the Jumbo Bat Barrel and Jersey relics I have seen have made up for the disappointment. I hope to pick up a couple more McCoveys and maybe some other Giants from this set.
In addition to the great quad bat pieces on the front, I really like the Quad Qualities on the back. The four qualities listed here aren't things that are new to me but I find them interesting and a little outside the norm for card facts.
Time to hunt down some eBay deals on more Museum Collection Giants!
I have the Clark base and copper parallels. Do you have any Brewers stuff to trade me? If you might, shoot me an e-mail.
