Set: 2009 Topps Chrome

I'm really craving this product right now but I haven't bought any packs in a while. I'm really liking how the chrome looks on these years Topps which i really like . The designs have simplicity which is very good & I love simplicity, good work by Topps this year. The checklist for autos is pretty good and it features 2 Padres which is rare for any auto checklist. The autos are all on-card which is great. I'm liking the prices of the Hobby Boxes, $65, and there are 2 hits per box.

Card of the day:Everth Cabrera

Card: 2009 Icons Everth Cabrera Autograph.

Player: Everth Cabrera

Features: Rookie Card Autograph

This player isn't known outside San Diego. He was chosen in the Rule V Draft last year. Instead of just hiding him away like with many Rule V draftees the Padres decided to make him the starting shortstop.

Only 22 years old Everth has shown some growing pains but he's made some great plays with the glove and at the plate. Cabrera, like many hitters is great away from Petco hitting .281 and terrible at home hitting .194.

The main reason why the Padres got him was because of his speed. In the 40 games he's played he's robbed 10 bases.

Card of the day:Adrian Gonzalez

Card: 2007 UD Black Adrian Gonzalez

Features: Dual patch, Dual Jersey, Autograph, and Serial #'d to 75

Player info: No one has been such an offensive threat like Adrian Gonzalez for the padres this season. The padres have always been weak with power. Since 2002 Adrian has been the only Padre to hit more than 30 home runs in a season. Not only is he good with the bat but defensively as well, winning the gold glove last year. Adrian is one of the most hard working player in the MLB by starting in 299 games without a day off. Adrian Gonzalez is not like a typical show off, greedy, thinks the world revolves around them MLB player he's one of the good guys. Very reminiscence of padre legend tony Gwynn by his hard work and dedication to the city of San Diego Adrian might one day also be a San Diego Padre legend.

Why this card: Adrian Gonzalez is one of my favorite player to watch. He's going to be in the Home run Durby tonight.

Card Design: The card uses its patches & jerseys slots very nicely into the numbers. The patches multi colored and very appealing.

Price: The lowest seen one go was 20 for one were the patch had 2 colors and highest has been 100.
