Card #100: The Force is Strong With This One

Today is National Star Wars Day

One of my favorite Yoda quotes is
"The Force is Strong With This One"

The same can be said for this card.
2006 Triple Threads gold parallel featuring Barry Bonds, Roberto Clemente, and Willie Stargell (all in Pirates uniforms).

This is one of my favorite cards in my collection as it features three of the game's greatest to ever wear a Pirates uniform.

Cards #32 & 33: Triple Threads Pairings

I won a small lot of Pirates Triple Threads cards back in September 2017.  In addition to an emerald parallel of Cutch I also got two Roberto Clemente parallels.

The Emerald is numbered 232/250 and the gold is numbered 35/99.

Not only does the back include your standard counting stats (G, AB, R, H, RBI, and AVG) found on many older Topps cards there is also Total Bases, Slugging Percentage, and OPS.

It also has the standard 3 quick notes detailing facts about the player both on the field and off field.

Card #15 & 16: Steel

My latest relic card might look familiar,  but in fact it's not.

Because of eBay's 10% bucks program plus a holiday bonus check I had some extra money to chase after this card.

Numbered to 36 copies and featuring 3 of the greatest Pirates of All-time (Yes Cutch belongs on that list) is a Triple Threads card with relics of Willie Stargell, Andrew McCutchen, and Roberto Clemente.

I've previously shown the /27 parallel on Collecting Cutch.
