Andre Dawson 2012 Panini Cooperstown Collection
Unfortunately, I cannot recall the last time that I pulled an Andre Dawson baseball card out of a pack of cards.
When the 2012 Panini Cooperstown set was released, I thought that it could be a possibility. And when I received nine packs of the cards from this set for Christmas, I had my fingers crossed that I would pull a ‘Hawk’.
Sadly, that did not occur.
I also was unable to find the card of Andre at the baseball card show that I attended during the first weekend in February.
So, I settled for some online shopping and was easily able to score the card.
Here it is:
FINALLY!!!
In Cubs pinstripes, as it should be. He’s in the Hall as an Expo, but he wouldn’t be there without his time as a Cub.
sirrahh- I agree that the time with the Cubs made him a superstar due to the bigger stage, but Montreal is where he honed his skills as a 5-tool player!
I was interested in the cooperstown set when they first released the checklist since it was the first set in years to include a Kirby Puckett card, however after the final release it was mysteriously missing. Still trying to figure out what the deal with that is. Still, Nice card, I just wish they were allowed to show team logos.
Zebulon- Very interesting with Puckett. I never examined the full checklist to see if their were any players missing…
