Topps Jumbo break, fake / manu Trout knob
Busted a jumbo box of 2015 Topps series two to try and finish off the set. Ended up about 12 cards short but lucky a friend had all of those for me from his two box break.
Hit a photo variation of Kluber
Auto was a Blue Jay
Pitcher bat card, always a treat to pull a game used bat of a pitcher since they are normally such great hitters.
5/99
Still a nice Seaver
One of my collecting goals has long been to pull a bat knob or nameplate card. Never have come even close! So I guess this will have to do. Fake/Manufactured bat knob.
At least it is one of the best you can pull from this series and I am pleased to have it in my collection:
It only, if only!

i'm not usually a fan of the manufactured relic type cards but those bat knob cards look pretty cool...similar to the world series pin cards from a few years ago

RE: Topps Jumbo break, fake / manu Trout knob
When you say fake/manufactured, are you referring that it wasn't from one of his actual bats and it is just another type of insert that Topps created? If that is the case, that's kind of a waste, but I do agree that it is still a cool looking card.

NO, this was taken from a bat Trout used in a game. Topps had some one make these for their series two product.
Just a piece of wood cut into the shape of a bat knob.

It's not a game used bat, it is just any old piece of wood cut to look like a knob. Still a very cool card.
