Rookie Cards & RC Cola

Looking at some of the new images of baseball products due to be released in 2010, you’ll see a newly designed “Rookie Card” logo that most collectors really don’t care about because 90% of those players probably have prospect cards found in products such as Sterling or Chrome.  But with that being said, I like the new design a lot better.  It fits into the overall card design smoother than that old and bold gold one you find on most cards today.  Last week when I saw it for the first time, the only thing that came to mind was RC Cola.  The logos are quite similar and I think card manufacturers and Royal Crown should get together and do some type of promotional campaign for The Hobby.  It sure wouldn’t be the first time baseball cards would be teamed up with a beverage company.

  

’09 Grand Slam Parade Pin…… Got One!

This is one of the rarest pins collectors can obtain at this year’s Little League World Series.  The 2009 Grand Slam Parade pin is actually two pins that you put together to make a larger pin.  To obtain both sides you need to purchase a certain amount of groceries at two different locations I’ve been told.  One location will have one side and the other location will have the other side.  This is the rarest Little League pin I have in my collection.  I’d like to say thanks to my friend for dropping it off today 🙂
