2015 Bowman Inception Baseball - All the Dodger Cards
Topps newest card set came out a couple of days and it's a high-end set focused on rookies/prospects and autographs. You get five cards, all of them autographed, in a single box that will run you about $80.00 a piece. There is no base set. Go here for a complete checklist. Take a look at the Dodger cards below. I've included a checklist of the "1 of 1" cards for your information.
Blog Kiosk: 7/10/2015 - Dodger Links - Pederson, Greinke, Scully and Bill Murray
Joc Pederson is pumped! He's as excited as you can be to have been selected an All-Star, and is no doubt relishing the chance to show off his swing during the home run derby. BTW, he'll face-off against Orioles slugger Manny Machado in the first round of the derby, and then either Pujols or Bryant in the next round. Here he is above showing off the National League team jersey. Photo via Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers 2015.

(Magic Johnson) wanted an owner who was committed to building a winning team. During his meeting with the Guggenheim executives, he looked at Walter and asked: “Are you doing this for the investment or are you doing this to win?” Walter didn’t hesitate: “I’m doing this to win,” he said, adding that he hoped to leave the team to his daughter one day.

- Via Jesse Sanchez at MLB.com, "Dodgers, Giants favorites to sign top international prospect (Eddy Julio) Martinez."
Martinez could command at least a $10 million bonus, and his contract will send the team that signs him into the maximum penalty under the international signing guidelines -- 100-percent tax on the bonus pool overage and the inability to sign a player for more than $300,000 during the next two signing periods -- if it is not already there.
