Clayton Richard 2011 Topps Chrome Red Refractor (#12/25)
For just $2.99 delivered I got one step closer to Clayton's 2011 Topps/Chrome rainbow; in fact, with the addition of this Red Refractor, I just need the Gold version to close the book on that project. And pending a post covering my COMC scores, that Gold Refractor will also slam the door on Clayton's 2011 issues.
Although I've always been more of a blue (and maize!) kind of guy, I'm a fan of Topps' Red Refractors because they've always worked out well when it comes to the color scheme. Their relatively limited print run makes them fun--but not impossible--to chase, too. In this case I would have forgiven Gavin for outbidding me to add this card to his cool #12/25 PC!
I now have 106 of Clayton's 150-card run, with the latter number jumping up a bit thanks to 2014 Topps Mini.
Now that I'm caught up on other pickups maybe I'll finally get to the COMC stuff!
I said it the other day on my blog, those Chrome Red refractors are fantastic! Nice pickup!
ReplyDeleteYou did indeed, and here's a link to the post for anyone still reading comments on this post for some reason: http://30aweekhabit.blogspot.com/2014/09/hit-parade.html. Thanks for looking!
DeleteOne of these years I'm going to attempt a rainbow. Just need to find the perfect player to choose.
ReplyDeleteCutch would definitely be too expensive, but I bet you could do one of Gyorko or a not as recent Pirate player.
