100 Pounds - 100 Cards - Card #13

It's late, but I still haven't missed a post. Card #13 is one of the few graded cards I have in my collection. I specifically bought this card graded because it has been faked and I wanted to make sure that I bought a legitimate copy. This 1992 Bowman Mariano Rivera card skyrocketed in popularity and price last year in anticipation of his Hall of Fame announcement. He was a great pitcher, but I still don't understand how he got 100% of the votes when Ken Griffey Jr. feel just short of perfection.

    Some people don't like these types of cards where the players are dressed in regular street clothes. I think it kind of works for Bowman.

    One of the key 90's rookie cards that I haven't added to my collection yet. I probably won't unless it's part of a collection purchase or flea market find, since I'm not willing to dish out the big $$$ people are willing to pay. That being said... kudos to the Bowman photographer that was able to color coordinate the color of Mariano's shirt with the walls in the background.
