Such a beautiful and simple card and design!! I'm glad I am not the only one thinking of grabbing a BGS 9.5 soon. I'm sure the price will increase once he hits the HOF.

As for his swing, it is beautiful. Didn't involve that much power and looked flawless. If he had a harder work ethic and was able to stay healthy, there is no doubt in my mind he would have the home run record and possibly go down as the best center fielder of all-time.
