The 2014 version of "I Must Have This Card"

Last year, it was this gem that I came across while searching ebay for combined shipping. This time, it was this that came up while I was doing the COMC challenges. I didn't want to take any chance at this getting away, so I placed it on my watchlist, and bought it immediately.
DERP!

Yes. This is an actual card of someone that, at some point, got paid to play baseball.

OK. He's a pitcher with an American League franchise. Still. this one might be as surreal as the Jim Moore, and I'm seriously considering returning to the Beckett booth at the Spring Expo to get this one graded. My only problem now is wondering if I'll wait to get this shipped until I've got a few more cards in my inventory.

    Do you trust sending it out for a TTM. I would just like to have the guy answer the question "what the hell were you thinking?"

      For anybody that wants to, he is on facebook. And it is obviously the same guy, since he is a member of a Frederick Keys alumni group.

    Another great fine, but the Jim Moore card is going to be tough to beat.

      I think this one comes pretty close. They're both on the short list for sure.

      You should definitely get it graded, so I can live out my dreams vicariously through you.

    The ultimate "Pitcher at the Plate" card, loved it so much I had to pick up a copy for myself.
