This Just In: Stealing JayBee's Thunder

But seriously, read his blog.

Now that that's out of the way, what have we here?
2009 Topps #DET3 Curtis Granderson

Oh, I guess I shouldn't have put a caption on that shot.

Anyway, this card is wholly distinct and immeasurably better than the card that Marie sent me last week. That's no knock on Marie--that's Curtis' base card in 2009 Topps, but look at this one! Swinging! If you recall, last year's baseball card offerings were like a Will Smith movie--lots and lots of running. It's nice to see Curtis with a bat this year. Here, Finest, Bowman. Maybe those 13 HRs aren't a mistake after all--the baseball cards have foretold it.

Dear Topps, Thank you for putting different pictures in the team set, and not just a few, but a whole bunch. It makes collecting them so much more fun.
