So I went to a single A game tonight to see the Clearwater Threshers (Phillies) vs. the Ft. Myers Miracle (Twins) of the Florida State League. Gotta love minor league action. Well, apparently it was some kind of ode to "Saved by the Bell" night, even had an appearance by Dennis Haskins, the guy who played Mr. Belding. "Saved by the Bell" was a favorite show growing up so it was neat to meet him and everything, even had him sign an OMiLB baseball! Could have only been better if Kelly came too, lol... Was also able to get a ton of player autos as well, most notably Brody Colvin and Jesse Biddle among others, the #2 and #3 top prospects in the Phillies organization! Made for an interesting and great night.
On top of that, I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way home to check out some of 2012 Topps Archives. Got a blaster, a few rack packs and a few loose packs. The blaster yielded a Johnny Cueto relic and I also picked up some of the key rookies such as 2 Matt Moore RC's
a Darvish RC, Cespedes RC and Jesus Montero! So was pretty happy just for those. I opened everything on the way home so I guess I didn't get a great look at all my cards, so I'm going through everything at home when I come across an awkward looking card. Most of the cards have fascimile signatures so I didn't think anything of it, maybe due to poor lighting, but I get home and notice one is in blue ink. Still didn't think anything of it till I noticed the gold foiling also appeared to be different when it finally dons on me that I also pulled a Fan Favorites Auto out of I'm guessing one of the rack packs or loose packs. Turned out I pulled an auto of Mickey Lolich! How sweet is that?!? One heck of a player in his day. Pretty sweet looking card, on the 1973 topps design. To believe I almost completely missed it. Definitly think I'm sold on Archives now.
