Since Vlad is pictured as an Oriole in 2012 Topps Series 2, a set that came out a full eight months after his final game in Baltimore, it's starting to make me wonder how many more Orioles cards he will get. I believe he is scheduled to appear in this year's Allen & Ginter set, probably also as an Oriole, but I kind of hope that's it. This was supposed to be a mini-collection!
Wasn't he last with the Blue Jays' AAA team? Probably Topps' way of giving him a nice major league send-off.
ReplyDeleteJudging by the photo, I would probably agree with Crackin Wax's comment.
ReplyDeleteGuys- I pretty much agree that this card seems to be a send off, but would have made more sense to me in Series 1 when Vlad had recently played for the O's.
