COMC haul #24: a heady LaMarre

(Note:  all COMC haul posts can be accessed here)
That's "HEDLEY"
Waaaaaaaaay back at the end of last November I showed off a trio of hits featuring former Wolverine OF Ryan LaMarre, who's now a Reds prospect.  Well, today I don't have any hits for you, but I do have eight more cards to add to his PC:
Ryan LaMarre 2010 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Purple Refractor
JaMarcusFractor?  PrinceFractor?  GrimaceFractor?  I think we could have done without the purple, but whatever, it's still a Refractor.

True Refractor is Best Refractor!

I actually needed this for the set so it's going straight to that box.
Ryan LaMarre 2010 Bowman Draft Prospects Blue (#203/399)
Could use a much better "blue" but still, GO BLUE!
Ryan LaMarre 2010 Bowman Draft Prospects Gold
Still thick and useless after all these years....  Put a hoodie on it and you've got Cowboys DC Rob Ryan.

Meh, I like the autographed version better.
Ryan LaMarre 2010 Donruss EEE Status (#080/100)
2010 EEE is easily one of my top-five sets of all time, partially thanks to sweet parallels like this one.
Ryan LaMarre 2011 Topps Pro Debut Blue (#032/309)
"Welcome to Dayton, kid.  If you don't die from the stench you got a good shot of a call-up."

These eight new LaMarres give old Ryan a new IHAS total of 18 out of his 33 issues I'm counting (not including 1/1s, of course).  I hope he's one player I can wrap up this year, but that could prove difficult thanks to multiple rare cards numbered to 25 and lower.  Still, you never know, and I'm totally up for the challenge!  Sadly, this is the end of the LaMarres I picked up this time, but you can bet I'll be after more the next time I pick stuff up from COMC.

Next time I'm leaning towards going back to the football well, or possibly hockey, so stay tuned for that!
