2013 Leaf Memories Baseball - All the Dodgers Cards - Including Alexander Guerrero's 1st Baseball Card!

Leaf Trading Cards discovered a winning product last year with 2012 Leaf Memories (See the Dodger cards from that set, here.). So, they hoped their follow-up set would garner the same amount of interest. Unfortunately, it comes off as a little stale since they chose to use the exact same design as last years set.

Not that it's horrible, mind you. The 1990 vintage Leaf design they used was one of the best from that decade. It's just that you'd think they'd come up with something different. I guess they kind of hit a wall, since the 1991 Leaf Baseball design is, in my opinion, one of the worst from that decade. Check out the entire checklist here.

For Dodger fans, the 2013 set lacks numbers, but does include the very first card of our newest Cuban signee - Alexander Guerrero. In fact, he is the only Dodger player in the entire base set. See it below. As of this posting, Guerrero cards are selling for just a few bucks a piece.

BTW, the set also includes cards of two other recent Cuban defectees - Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez and Jose Abreu.

Chris Anderson was the Dodgers 2013 1st round draft pick.

#CA2 Chris Anderson

The Leaf Buyback autographed cards are the best part of this set. These are original 1990 & 1991 Leaf cards that have been repurchased by Leaf, signed by the player, numbered up to their uniform number, and embossed will a limited foil stamp. Unfortunately, only two Dodgers are included.
