Nice pickup. Those framed mini autos are hard to gem.

Haha thanks. I guess I should've said "which autos are stickers so I can avoid them".

Judge hard signed for a majority of 2017 products. More hard signed than sticker. It's pretty random...

Cards like...Topps Inception, Topps Major League Materials, Topps Silver Pack, Topps Update All-Star Patches

Judge went 0-5 today. So he is human.

That lowers his BA to a lowly .402.

Judge’s 2017 auto strategy: hard sign the good stuff, sticker the chaos. Classic rookie year roulette.

also dont forget that in March 2017 it was unclear if Judge would make the Opening Day roster.

So SIGN SIGN SIGN away all those early releases!

Does anybody know who the catcher is in his Future Stars card?

[ThoseBackPages]

great question!

In 2017, the Boston Red Sox's main catchers were Sandy Leon and Christian Vazquez, with Blake Swihart also seeing some playing time. Christian Vazquez eventually emerged as the team's primary catcher.

I looked into this once and knew it was in July...

From MLB - "Judge's card depicts him connecting for a deep drive against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, with the words "Future Stars" printed above his batting helmet.

I believe the image of that card was from July 16, 2017. Yankees at Red Sox.

Boston was up 3-0 in the 8th and Judge was batting with a man on 1st against David Price and Christian Vasquez. Judge hit a rocket to center and Jackie Bradley made a stunning catch to rob him of a home run.

Here's a screen shot.



Uniform, arm accessories and catcher match.

So to answer your question, I believe it to be Christian Vasquez.

Got a nice Judge coming in the mail! Waiting for Ebay Authenticity is going to be brutal though.

Wow, thank you! What a great find/read. Now I have to pair Vasquez card with Judge.

his 2018 Flagship is special IMO....

The Topps Flagship version has The Rookie Cup AND The Future Stars Banner
The Topps Chrome version does not have The Rookie Cup OR The Future Stars Banner
The Topps 3D version has The Rookie Cup but not The Future Stars Banner
The Topps Opening Day version has The Rookie Cup but not The Future Stars Banner
The Topps Holiday (WalMart) version does not have The Rookie Cup OR the Future Stars Banner

...and his card from 2018 Topps Limited Edition (1,000 factory sets) has Limited Edition etched across it as well as the rookie cup AND the Future Stars banner.

There's a "Fine 9" currently up for bid on eBay.

Newest Judge pickup arrived with a totally unrelated buddy. Manning’s cool so I felt bad cutting him out of the shot.

which is why it's my favorite card of all time, just so random.

2018 Chrome Sapphire has both the Cup and Banner (base is unnumbered with a print run of around 250, I believe).
