A Trip To The Emerald City Skyline

  A single card post tonight.

 

 

The Seahawks won so I am going with a 2015 Topps Allen & Ginters Keys To The City Space Needle. I spent 15 years and the Space Needle was one of the first tourist locations that I visited, even getting one of those penny souvenirs.

The Space Needle is actually part of a larger complex that was built for the 1962 World's Fair called Seattle Center which contains the Key Arena, where the Sonics played, along with International Fountain, EMP and the Pacific Science Center. It is a fun location to just people watch, you meet some interesting people. When I found out the card was in the set I had to get it as part of my Seattle collection.

It Is Wonderful When A Company Gets It Right

 

Every so often you come across a unique and limited card that is so awesome that you would consider selling your first born, well maybe not your child, but you know where this is going. A perfect example was last year’s 2014 Topps Archives Major League Ricky Vaughn autographs.

This year it seems like the attention will be turned towards 2015 Topps Allen & Ginter’s with the inclusion of Sylvester Stallone and Hulk Hogan autographs, which are both popular pulls but Topps takes it one step further by making the cards Rocky Balboa and Thunderlips from Rocky III, my favorite of the Rocky films.

The ultimate male versus the ultimate meatball!
