    Picked up one of my favorite Triple Threads cards of all time.

    Also picked up a cool auto from Mattingly Charities. Love the pic of Donnie Baseball being that happy.

    And one last one of last year's NL Rookie of the Year.

    I thought Mattingly looked like Phil Jackson on this card. Mattingly is a favorite of mine.

    Good call on the Phil Jackson comp. :smile:

    I don't get why the Bryce Harper card says "Clown question".

    I don't get why the Bryce Harper card says "Clown question".

    It is a quote from Bryce Harper in 2012:

    The 19-year-old Washington Nationals outfielder quipped, "That's a clown question, bro," to a Toronto TV reporter who asked if he planned to take advantage of Canada's lower drinking age after belting a long home run in a win over the Blue Jays.

    Harper is a Mormon, a religion that forbids alcohol. A Nationals PR staffer suggested the reporter try a different line of questioning, but Harper was ready.

    "I'm not answering that," Harper said. "That's a clown question, bro."

    THanks, Chicago1976 for the Bryce explanation. Seems weird to put that on a card though.
