I don't buy football or basketball cards often but occasionally I get tired of whatever baseball offerings are at my local retailers and I try and branch out to other sports (even hockey when I'm really desperate). I read on the Blowout Cards forums that Topps Sterling retail had been providing some pretty nice hits (especially for retail) so I thought I would try my luck with a few packs. I didn't get much of note out of the first few but the last pack yielded the beauty you see on the left: a Juaquin Iglesias 3-color patch autograph RC #322/350. I realize he's not a star (he didn't even play a game last season) but gosh that's a pretty card. It's probably the nicest looking patch I've ever pulled from a pack (not difficult considering that I've only pulled two) and I think I'll hang onto it and see if Iglesias breaks out next season; he was a very good receiver at Oklahoma. Sometimes trying new things pays off...it sure did this time.If there are any Chicago fans interested in this card you can e-mail me to work out a deal. I'd like it to find a good home rather than selling it on fleabay.
