Longoria Countdown to 300 Home Runs Thread. (Rainbows and Runs Tribute) **He Did It!!!!**

jlvette50

Longo has been on fire the last couple of days. He has hit 4 home runs in the last three days. He currently is at 288 and has moved into the top 20 of all time homers for third basemen. I thought I'd post some of my favorite runs, rainbows and miscellaneous items each time he hits another homerun on his quest to reach 300.

First off I'd thought I'd share the card run with the most variations that I have. I currently have 20 different 2014 Topps cards #330.

The rarest of the group are the 1/1 Platinum, 1/1 1st Edition Transcendent 65th Anniversary Party, and the #'d to five black mini shown here respectively.

Here's a photo of the bunch in it's entirety.

Hopefully post more real soon!!

Nice collection. I hope he gets back from the IR in time to get 300 this year.
