Orange Tribute

Yesterday I received one card in the mail from a trade I completed on The Bench website. 

2015 Topps Tribute Orange Relics

I believe this is my first relic from the Topps Tribute brand.  The orange design really makes the card stand out.  I was having a hard time deciding what type of hat Wainwright was wearing in this photo until I discovered this card while putting the Tribute card away.

2014 Topps Update All Star Stitches

Same photo, just a not a close up version like the Tribute.  I am sure Topps will use the same photo somewhere in one of their 2016 products.

  1. Top card is a stunner but what keeps it from being perfect is the reused photo, arr..

    1. They are sharp cards, lots of gloss. Just wish Topps could use different photos. I guess Waino was hurt most of 2015, but they should have a large archive from the other 10+ years he has pitched.

    2. The 82 Traded Ozzie blew my mind. That was my #1 most wanted card. I'm working on a write-up for Cardinal Sauce.
