PrintI decided to share with you all my favorite 25 cards in my collection. I will show you some Dodger history, cool photos, technology, and some rare items. Maybe it will spark an interest or relive some old memories.
Here we go with #25... 2006 Upper Deck Future Stars Andre Eithier Red Parallel
These cards are really cool because they are see-through. It is serial numbered 27 of 35 with an autograph in red ink. The red ones are the limited editions compared to the blue ink autographs. Too bad the autograph is a sticker instead of on-card. It has been graded 10 Gem Mint by PSA. There have been no other Either cards submitted for grading, so it is the only one of its kind.
I also have another card from this set that is really cool, a PSA 10 triple autograph of Chad, Hamels, and some guy named Alay Soler. Too bad he sucked.
And one final note for Phil. Topps actually mastered this technology in 2002 with its Topps Pristine set. I was foolish enough to spend a few dollars for this autograph. Back when he was called Irvin.

Soler
Looked him up. He had 8 starts for the Mets in 2006 with an ERA+ of 73.
The guy was already 26 at the time as opposed to Billingsley and Hamels who were 21 and 22 respectively. Doesn’t exactly scream top prospect.
I had to look him up too
he was born in Cuba and didn’t play pro ball in the US until he was 26 — perhaps he was a semi high profile defector who didn’t meet expectations.

Card companies are lazy and stupid. They probably had a bunch of that dude’s autographs left over and just stuck him on that card. It happens a ton when you see a card with 2 or 3 guy and you see one of them and just say “what the fuck?”

I have that Guzman card. I’m actually quite interested to see which cards you list and how many of them i have.
Cool beans
I may have to go find my old Offerman minor league card.

Irvin JtD Guzman?
had no idea. If I had known he went by the name of Irvin I’d have written off as a prospect from the beginning.

That card is totally boss

Thanks for posting
My dad and I were big into cards in the mid 90’s. Unfortunately that was the worst time to collect. We have a pretty big collection but so much of it is just commons :(
I used to really enjoy cards but it seems that they started making to many insert cards. It used to be a set and then 2-3 insert sets with that set. Now it’s just too much to keep up with.
Packs of cards are just too expensive these days as well. You buy a pack of cards for 4 dollars and you get 6-8 cards. Or you buy a wax box and get 14 packs with 6 cards in each pack. Used to be so different that you’d buy a wax box and get 30 packs with 15 cards in them :)
Oh well, I still do collect Dodgers cards. I have my own collection that is of Dolphins and Dodgers.

How much does it cost to get your card graded? Back when I was collecting I don’t think it was available or if it was not very common. It seems like this is what drives the price of cards these days.
