2012 Panini Cooperstown

I've decided to give the birthday loot posts a break and move on to Christmas loot.   Santa decided that I needed these in my stocking.


I was recently part of the charity BoBuBingo Cooperstown Break, but barely covered any squares on my card.  The design of the cards is nice.  I like them.  But, because Panini is hamstrung by the Topps monopoly, they couldn't use MLB team names or logos.  Hence the "just above the bill" cropping on several head shots.

Induction
Ted Williams (card # 10)

The Induction Year cards seem to resemble a wood veneer on the front.  I'm already getting a nice 'chrome curl' effect on it.

High Praise
Brooks Robinson (card # 19)

Overall a nice bunch of cards, but I won't be trying to complete this.

  1. I love those wood cards and the High Praise looks really nice. If you aren't keeping either of those, what would it take?
