2012 Topps Museum- Dodgers Relic Cards

Following up my past post focused on 2012 Topps Museum Dodgers base cards and autographed cards, below are a handful of Dodgers related relic cards.

I'm starting to fall in love with the set. Heck, I even like some of these relic cards. (Personally, I'm not much of a relic collector, so saying that is a big step for me)

Why am I loving these so? Well, when pairing the phenomenal design of the cards with a large relic game-used memorabilia piece, I can't help but believe that they would look great with an autograph. Just check out the cards below to see what I mean.
These two cards (above & below) are relic book cards. Considering how accessible these players are I think it would be fun and fairly easy to have them sign these cards. After all, that large wooden space is begging to be signed.

Again, getting these cards signed would be incredible looking.

Here are a couple of different quad relic cards below.

Meh. I'm not a fan of these cards. Multiple relic cards do not do much for me.

Not only will Bear Grylls drink his own urine to entertain you, but he'll throw out the first pitch while the Baseball is on fire. That's a true entertainer, folks! (pic via, Jon SooHoo/ LA Dodgers 2012) Big League Stew has a story on it that includes video.

• GCRL continues to show a bunch of great Sportcaster cards from the 70's. Here is one I've never seen before. It's called "Forever Blowing Bubbles" and features Davey Lopes with a giant Bazooka style bubble while at the plate. Just Awesome!

• This sounds like a great event. The LA Times has been hosting a monthly program called "Thursday @ the Globe," and this time they feature Bill Shaikin and Bill Plaschke on a hour long tour and discussion about the Dodgers and Baseball. It's free. All you have to do is register. Information is here.
  
• Shorpy comes through again with a vintage, 1924, photo featuring Washington DC as Baseball fans mingle at a giant outdoor scoreboard awaiting details of the next play in an American League Pennant game. Could you imagine having to get your up-to-the-minute sports news like this?
  
• Check out this great video snippet from the MLB Network of a show they aired recently called, "Showcasing Dodger Stadium." It's just a 5 min clip, but features interviews with many different ballplayers talking about Dodger Stadium. I'm sure they'll re-air it soon. Here's a quote from Joe Torre:

  “When I used to come and get into the batter’s box to hit, I could hear Vin Scully. Now it wasn’t that I could hear the booth, which was obviously behind me, but I could hear it because everybody brought transistor radios because they wanted to have Vin Scully tell them what was going on.”

• If you are a local LA area hockey player and happen to play the goalie position, then you need to check this out. The Kings and Jonathan Bernier will be giving away a full set of goalie equipment. Details are here.

  Coaches, friends and/or family members are encouraged to tell Bernier in 500 words or less why your young goalie is deserving of new RBK goalie pads, blocker and goalie stick. Nominees must be between 4 and 10 years old.
