I bought one at Walmart and didn't do any better. I like the Impressions autos

Doesn't make me feel better
but thanks for trying Yeah, the Impressions... they're a nice auto card design.
I was surprised ... The James Taillon card books for about 2X the Sonny Gray card.
Is Taillon any good? Is he better than Sonny G.?
RE: 2 boxes 2009 Signature Stars - petillo64 - 05-27-2014
Definitely not better than sonny g... Sonny is a beast!
Don't know the specifics on taillon. I know he was very highly touted, but I think he was slowed by injury this year... Sonny is filthy. Lack if size as a prospect and lack of hype due to oakland are big factors for Donny's low prices. I've been loading up on his autos.
Not bad autos there IMO!

Yeah, I was hearing nothing except great things about Sonny Gray and nothing at all about Taillon, so I was confused by the huge discrepancy between their respective BV on Beckett. I was hearing Sonny G's name being mentioned in the same breath as Jose Fernandez as the best young arms last year.
Thanks, I was pretty happy about pulling Sonny's auto/relic ... It's a nice card!

Tallion has been a big name prospect for the Pirates for a few years now. Was going to have a big shot this year untill he went down with Tommy John. I think he has the same upside as Taijuan Walker for Mariners and possibly could end up better than Gray

Wow!!! Another one with TJ surgery!?!?!?! that's like 2 dozen pitchers in the past 2 seasons. Are they giving them away or something? I guess that's the reason I haven't seen/heard about him much....

Thanks! Nice card, clean design, great pitcher.
Just wish all those cards were 'on-card' and not sticker autos. Oh Well!
