Check it out!

Currently Reading: The Aeneid by Virgil

Look what I got! Yes, I know smart ass, it's a baseball card. But look what KIND of card it is! Ok could you at least PRETEND to be excited? I'll explain why it's so cool.


This is an Ichiro Suzuki card. He's playing center field now for the Seattle Mariners. He's easily one of the best players in the game today and a pretty decent guy all around. WELL, this card of his, you see that white patch there? This is what they call a game jersey card. That white patch is part of an actual game-worn Ichiro jersey. How cool is that? You've got to hand it to Topps, they know how to increase the value of their product.

Yeah, I know, to anyone else it's just a little swatch of white fabric but to those of us who follow the game and all, it's a whole lot more :-)
