| Still not the "Real" Sewing Machine Guy |
Like said in the last post,
Sewing Machine Guy hooked me up plural. (Btw, stay off that ankle and Get Well Soon, man!!) I showed off the football cards already, but there was a STACK of Royals baseball that he included, too. I have neither time nor space to display them all, so you will get my favorites here.
First off, some oldies but goodies -- One for my managers collection and one for the KC collection:
 |
| 1969 Topps #547 Billy Martin |
 |
| 1972 Topps #205 Dick Drago |
Three Generations of Ginter:
 |
| Allen and Ginter - 2007 #34 Mark Grudzielanek, 2008 #347 David DeJesus, 2009 #337 Billy Butler |
SHINIES! Shiny Royals!!
 |
| 2011 Topps Diamond Anniversary #244 Mike Aviles, #658 Mitch Maier |
More Shinies! Well....Chromies. The purple on the Espinal is sweet. The George Brett might be my new favorite card -- the chrome on it looks AMAZING.

SMG hit a bunch of my favorite players, too. I love cards of Mike Sweeney when he was still a catcher (played 1B and DH for much of his career). Billy Butler is my favorite current Royal, while DeJesus is my favorite Royal period. The DeJesus card is a perforated parallel - designed to look like a ticket on the top and bottom.

SMG, these were awesome. He included one other Royal I wanted to show off.
Oh well. The color scheme is still good. :-) I guess that one must have fallen into the trade box by mistake.
