COMC haul #23: Clay's the rainbow part 2, or, 13 for '13

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

It's actually only been a few posts since I showed off a chunk of the Clayton Richards I picked up from COMC--some 2008 Bowmans, Drafts and Chrome of the rainbow variety.  Then again, it's also been a few weeks since I put that up, so here's a couple more rainbow projects that are now part of my Richard PC.

First up are five of Clayton's eight (non-1/1) cards from 2005 Bowman Draft and Chrome Draft, which means a couple are his true RCs (::insert middle finger to MLB, Beckett, et al for stupid, inconsistent and arbitrary rules::):

Clayton Richard 2005 Bowman Chrome Draft Refractor

Clayton Richard 2005 Bowman Draft Gold

Clayton Richard 2005 Bowman Draft White (#073/225)

I'm glad to have only three more to chase, and they're actually not that bad:  X-Fractor (/250), Blue Refractor (/150) and Gold Refractor (/50).  Totally doable, and I'll see if I can't complete that in the next month or two.

Next up is an even larger rainbow from 2008 Bowman Draft and Chrome Draft.  CR has 11 non-1/1s between those sets, and I managed to pick up eight of them:

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Blue Refractor (#76/99)

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Gold Refractor (#20/50)

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Refractor

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft X-fractor (#094/199)

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Draft Blue (#330/399)

Clayton Richard 2009 Bowman Draft Gold

Yes, it's true:  that lousy Gold parallel is never, EVER going away.  Anyway, this chase will be a bit tougher: while the Purple Refractor isn't numbered, I'll need a couple rarer Refractors:  Orange (/25) and Red (/5).  Because of that I'm not gonna push myself to complete this rainbow by the end of the year because I'm not breaking the bank for a low-numbered insert of Richard.  Anyway, I've already got a nice assortment of color here, and that's plenty enjoyable.

Clayton's new IHAS count jumps up 13 cards to 33, with plenty more on the way!  I hope kicking things off on this blog with a lucky 13 cards for '13 brings me (and everyone who reads this) a great year of collecting.
