Added! Eddie Mathews Game Used
While perusing eBay the other day, I happened upon a nice Eddie Mathews 2006 Upper Deck Epic Materials Game Used Jersey. It is serial numbered 29/75. I threw my high bid of $5.50 and to my surprise, won it! I got it in the mail today. Here it is, via my new scanner.
The odd thing about this card, which I love most about it, is the beautiful blue swatch of jersey in the middle. Obviously this is from those awesome 70’s Braves jerseys, so I am led to believe that this is a jersey from his managing days. (If you can find playing photos of Eddie wearing the blue, please let me know.). Nevertheless, I love color swatches. They are way more fun to collect than the gray and white that you find so commonly all over the place. This is a beautiful card, and I am proud to add it to my collection.
Yeah, I got a Frank Robinson like that (also Epic Materials) with a red swatch. It looked orange on eBay, but it’s VERY red in person, and from his days with Cleveland.
Very nice! I agree, color swatches are much better than grey or white. They may not be a stripe, but they’re the next best thing!
