COMC haul #15: a colorful ChristianMas

(Note:  all COMC haul posts can be accessed here)

Since it tis the season and all, I thought that after I showed off a bit of color on Wednesday, I should keep that theme going today with a different player.

Jason Christian is a Michigan Baseball alum I found out about accidentally, and that discovery sent me after his fairly small collection.  Over the course of my three recent COMC packages, I acquired a bunch more of his cards, which hail exclusively from 2009 Donruss EEE and 2010 Bowman Chrome.  Since the latter are certainly the more colorful of the two, that's what I'll be showing off today.  In addition to the base Bowman and Chrome cards I already had of him while working on this sets, I now have these:
Jason Christian 2010 Bowman Chrome Prospects Blue Refractor (#129/250)
Jason Christian 2010 Bowman Chrome Prospects Purple Refractor (#047/999)
Jason Christian 2010 Bowman Chrome Prospects Refractor (#740/777)
Jason Christian 2010 Bowman Prospects Black
Jason Christian 2010 Bowman Prospects Blue (#442/520)
Jason Christian 2010 Bowman Prospects Orange (#86/250)

Why are there so many different parallels for each of the base and Chrome cards?  I have no idea, but fortunately, most of them are cool.  I could definitely do without the unnumbered Black cards, but as long as things don't get too ridiculous, I'm cool with a few different Chrome Refractor colors.

So all told, Jason has 11 different base and Chrome cards in 2010, and I have eight of them, which means I'm missing the Gold (#d /50), Orange (25) and Red (5) Refractors.  Since Christian is relatively new to my PC, I won't be breaking the bank to acquire those, but I'll certainly be on the look-out.

Stay tuned in the future for the rest of my Christian pickups, and sooner than that for more COMC Wolverines!  And please remember to head over to Too Many Verlanders for a five-spot of Wolverine favorite Barry Larkin relics.
