If you watch "The Card Life" show with Matt Strahm on Bally Sports (or other regional sports networks), you know they do a small giveaway each month sponsored by Hobby Armor.
For this month's show they were in Milwaukee, so they were giving away this Rookie Auto of Nelson Cruz (then on the Brewers) from Topps Finest. I happened to be the winner!
8 teams later (MIL, TEX, BAL, SEA, MIN, TB, WAS, SD) and at age 42, Cruz is sitting at 464 HR. Quite a successful career!
So thanks to Hobby Armor and The Card Life for the prize.
Always nice to be the winner!
