And then turned out to be a Mets card. Morneau has a few "Pittsburgh Baseball Club" cards from Panini, but it's just not the same. Of course considering how Topps has treated the Bucs (McCutchen left out of Tek, the same 3 players with autos in every single product, etc), it's not shocking. I'll definitely be using customs to fill in the gaps for what *should* have been released the last two years.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-82283338140831869192015-02-12T20:48:47.946-05:002015-02-12T20:48:47.946-05:00You should work for Topps: you can produce somethi...You should work for Topps: you can produce something they failed to do. I was so bummed that Topps didn't even acknowledge the Pirates wild card victory in 2013 after doing so for the previous decade of sets. That plus Byrd and Morneau never got Pirate cards and yet stinkin' John Axford was the first Pirate I pulled in 2015.

I do have a couple of my own designs that I mocked up backs for, but haven't finished/printed any of those designs yet.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-4216506828678654652015-02-09T17:56:35.565-05:002015-02-09T17:56:35.565-05:00Nice work!

Guess there's still a chance for Francisco, but I don't think he's had any autos since '09 or '10.<br /><br />I'm still pretty peeved Marlon Byrd didn't get a Pirate card after being so critical down the stretch. But we do get a John Axford card...Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-53043142702800735982015-02-09T17:25:55.604-05:002015-02-09T17:25:55.604-05:00Thanks!
