Even though I have taken on a daunting task with my collection goals, the little victories truly pump me up. Today a trade came through that took a little leg work and research to make happen and I am psyched.
I am all jazzed up for:
Gustavo Molina 2007 Topps '52 #118
He has over 115 different cards and this is the only base version featuring him as an Oriole. There are 20 or so high-end cards of his from 2008 Exquisite that I was unable to locate. I was about to buy some Topps '52 base cards to send but this trade saved me the time and money. I had to give up a 2009 Adam Jones TTM success from spring training to acquire this one.
Molina has been used sparingly during his three seasons in the majors, only totaling 23 games with four different clubs over that time. During his nine games in town he posted his best batting average, .222. Needless to say he hasn't made a great enough impression to stick with major league teams.
