Austin Jackson Cracks the Card World

Sure, he's got an insert in 2010 Topps Pro Debut, and he has some older Bowman stuff, but let's get on with the show. A real, live, major-league uniform wearing baseball card of Austin Jackson.

2010 eTopps #4 Austin Jackson RC (#/999)

Ok, it's eTopps. But still, this is Jackson's first Major League card, his first "official" rookie card and his first card in a Tigers uniform of any variety (even though it is a spring training photo.) eTopps or no eTopps, those are all good things.

The card is having it's "public offering" right now with an IPO price of $6.00 and a print run limited to 999 copies. So if you, like everybody else these days, are speeding away on the Ajax bandwagon, here's your chance.

On a related note, who wants to place bets that he is announced as Topps Finest Rookie Redemption #3 within the next 10 days? That's where my money is.
