Being a Rice Owl Fan. Getting this card is very exciting to my little card collection.  I decided to plop down the Alexander Hamilton (ok I paypal-ed it!) because I wanted this card really bad. The Owl logo with the signature is a must have to me. What a beautiful card! The signature is nice! Would have been great if it was the 12/50 card (college jersey was 12) but I had settle for the 9/50 card.

You can’t beat what an outstanding young man this is now and what he is going to be. At one time a chicago white soxs minor league product to a freshman 23 year old player at Rice to a 5th round steal for the Houston Texans. I am not sure of his nickname besides “rook” or “rookie” in the pros. On the owl messages boards he is known as “Thor” and among some of his college friends/athletes as “Superman”.  Charles Atlas would be envious of this player’s physique. Texans may have Owen Daniels as the TE receiving option but don’t be surprised to see this young man get some chances on making some big catches.

Pulled #1544 out of 2008 out a mini box of 2008 Topps Baseball. I really like opening these. 1. They are a bargain. 2. Even though its base topps you can get some nice looking limited cards.

In case you wondering of some of his auto cards. Here is a nice one off ebay.

Bought the Mini Box of Allen and Ginter’s 2009 Baseball. 8 packs of six cards a piece. Not worth 20.00 but that is not the point right?

Gray swatch as you can see.

In case you are wondering about any of his autos. here is one from ebay.

I know 20.00 a little steep for a pack that usually has a 3-5.00 jersey card. But hey isn’t that what its all about?
Nothing like the hunt for the cool autos!
Anyway enjoy!
