  • 2012 Topps vbaseball cards are out!

    Couldn't resist buying a couple of packs.

    The FIRST card I see is "Active AL ERA leaders," with pictures of Mariano Rivera, JOHAN SANTANA, and Felix Hernandez at 1-2-3.

    wtf? It lists Santana as being with Minnesota, No. 4 Tim Hudson as Oakland, No. 6 Roy Halladay Toronto, 8 Barry Zito Oakland, and 10 Zach Greinke Kansas City.

    turns out it's any MLB player who has a qualifying AL ERA. what a dumb card.

    looks like most hitter cards have "3B" above the list of doubles, and "3B" correctly above the list of triples as well.

    I got Skip Schumaker, but not the "short print" version that shows the Rally Squirrel and only Schumaker's foot.

    also got Braun, DJennings, DGordon (rookie card? it doesn't say so), and a Tommy Hanson "mini card" that has a different style than the others (plus several other cards). good pack overall.

    PACK 2 UPDATE: Funny, the only "leader" card is NL leading ERA guys. Only oddities are 4 Brandon Webb (no Phil Niekro? lol) and 5 Peavy.

    fyi, THudson is also on this list, at No 8 for NL ERA efforts.

    Got a "mini" Posey, and a special "James Shields Golden Moments" card and a "Lou Gehrig Golden Greats" one. also a Dellin Betances rookie card, the Yankees phenom.
