BIGGUNS #4

I NEED ANOTHER EASY ONE FOR DRAFTSMAS SO HERE'S A LONG ABANDONED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN SERIES FOR 'BIGGUNS' AKA LARGE UNWEILDY SIZED CARDS THAT ARE COOL. I HAVE A FOLDER WITH LIKE A HUNDRED SCANS IN THERE OF THESE KIND OF CARDS BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO POSTING THEM. HERE'S A NICE ONE

2018 GYPSY QUEEN GLASSWORKS JOSE ALTUVE


SOMEONE SENT ME THIS YEARS AGO AND I HAVE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN WHO IT WAS. I THANK THEE, UNKNOWN CARD SENDER, BECAUSE THIS CARD RULES. THE CORNERS ARE A LITTLE MOOSHED BUT WHO CARES BECAUSE THIS CARD IS SHINY AS HECK. IT REALLY DOES LOOKS KIND OF LIKE GLASS, IT'S SUPER THICK AND HAS A VERY SHINY, GLOSSY COATING OVER SOME EXTREMELY BRIGHT HOLOGRAPHIC FOIL. IT'S COMPLETELY DAZZLING AND THE SCAN CANNOT DO JUSTICE. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST REALLY NICE JOSE ALTUVE CARDS I EVER GOT AND I THINK IT KICKED OFF ME ACTIVELY COLLECTING HIS CARDS. NORMALLY THESE KIND OF DESIGNS WHERE A THIRD OF THE CARD IS JUST WIDE OPEN SPACE FOR A LOGO OR A RELIC PIECE COMPLETELY TURN ME OFF BUT IN THIS CASE IT REALLY WORKS GREAT 


THE BACK IS LESS FANTASTIC. CAN'T COMPLAIN THOUGH, THE FRONT MAKES UP FOR IT AND INSERT BACKS USUALLY GET SHORT SHRIFT ANYWAY. IT'S A JUMBO SIZED BOX TOPPER, NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TOTHE BACK ON THOSE. THESE AREN'T SUPER CHEAP BUT IF YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. EVEN IF YOU CAN'T FIND A TEAM OR PLAYER YOU LIKE IN YOUR PRICE RANGE, GO FOR A CHEAP JABRONI. YOU MIGHT FIND A NEW FAVORITE PLAYER
