Added a Greinke grail to my PC!
 
Hi all,

Quick post to share my newest card of Greinke’s that I’ve been after for a while now. It’s from the 2004 Topps Cracker Jack set and it’s the rare blue mini parallel. It’s unnumbered but I’ve been told it each SP mini blue has a print run of 50 copies. I think that the “mini” designation is a bit unfair here as the original 1914 set was of the smaller variety and are the same size as these “minis” in the 2004, so technically the regular sized cards are “jumbo.” Anyway, the blue parallel works well with Greinke’s Royals uniform and being that I have slim odds of finding the white 1/1, it’ll do! It’s one of Zack’s lesser known rookies but is among the more appealing options he has. The set has a nice addition of history as well with the original from 1914 being an iconic set and a thread through our National Pastime!

Hope you enjoy the card as much as I do!

Nice pickup! Greinke is one of my favorite active non Met players. He'll be in Cooperstown for sure.

The World Series appearance here should certainly help his Hall credentials.
I hope he gets a start and we get to see that eephus pitch again!
