I mentioned yesterday that I’d put a post out here to show off some Adam Lind cards that I used to own. Lind happens to be one of the hottest players in the league right now and his cards are showing that. Cards that I used to get for $5 are now well over $20 and some cards that I had eyes for before are now out of my budget.
I’m glad to see Lind do well. As I pointed out yesterday, he’s from my home state of Indiana and I try to follow those guys as best I can and I’m glad to see Adam do well. So here are a few things that I used to have:
The jersey I got from a box of Just Minors Mystery Jerseys last year. At the time, I had a hell of a time getting it sold. I bet that wouldn’t be the case now. The card I miss though is the Sweet Spot barrel card. It was a nice looking card and Adam provided one of the few silver signatures on the barrels that you can actually make out. I also had about the full set of Lind’s “By The Letter” cards from the 2007 SP Authentic. I didn’t figure anyone wanted to see a bunch of letters. 🙂
I didn’t realize Lind was from Muncie until about a week ago when my buddy told me. I was at Ball State probably around the same he was playing in nearby Anderson. I’d always wanted to snatch up a few of his cards when he was a prospect…now I wish I would have!
I’ve been trying to snatch up some Jordan Schafer RCs lately. Apparently he is from Hammond, IN (but he played HS ball in Florida).
Know any other good prospects from the Hoosier state?
