Hall of Fame Auto from The Card Chop

Steve, of the blog The Card Chop, recently celebrated 5 years back in the hobby with a contest. I won first prize for the contest and got the first pick of two prizes.

I chose the 2012 Leaf Best of Baseball Jim Rice auto below.

This is a great price for many reasons! One of which is that one of my 2015 Card Collecting Goals is to add Hall of Fame autographs to my collection. Less than 10 days into 2015 and I've added one. Thanks Steve! 

Go follow The Card Chop if you aren't already. He's a big Braves fan and collects oddball, food-issued and regional sets. Plus, his photo header (if that's what it's called) is awesome!
