But I especially like this bubble gum card, which are so rare these days. This one is actually a "short print" / "variation" that everyone always whines about. I wanted this new bubble gum card so bad, I paid $3 for it, delivered, instead of waiting another 6 months or a year when they will be another buck cheaper - particularly if this "slugger-in-the-making" doesn't pan out, like the vast majority of cards with the official RC logo. These "short prints" actually appear in quantities greater than the /2014 gold border editions, though there are also "super short-prints" that do not.
But this is definitely my Funniest Card of 2014, were I to find the free time to hand out baseball card awards, which would be fun.
This card answers so many questions:
Where do Rookie Cards come from?
How many Rookie Cards are there?
What does Topps give about how they place the RC logo amidst a given image?
What do Astros rookies usually accomplish?
Does bubble gum help the chewer accomplish any other daily task?
What adjective would describe this set position as a way to play First Base?
Could that same adjective be used about Topps' overall attention to detail here?
