2012 Topps Heritage High Number Rockies Team Set

You see that card of the old guy to the right, yup, that's the Rockies team set. Jamie Moyer, who was designated for assignment by Colorado on May 30th, was then signed, pitched in AAA and was released by the Blue Jays and Orioles and has been without a MLB contract since July 6th is the lone Rockies player in a product released in November. Moyer got two cards in Topps Update, which is fine, a 49 year old winning an MLB game was a good story and worthy of being recognized on cardboard, but that should have been it. Then Moyer got a card in Bowman Chrome for no good reason and now he is the only Rockies in the Heritage update set. Of the 49 players to play for the Rockies this season, Moyer was the first player to be let go by the team making him the the least current player possible for an "update" set.

Custom Card: 2012 Topps Jamie Moyer

Another spring training themed custom, 49 year old Jamie Moyer in his new Rockies uniform. I feel the same about Moyer as I do about 2012 Topps, interesting and new, but not particularly excited about either one. I give Moyer very little chance of making the Rockies roster, but like base Topps, he's a novelty until something better comes along. This is not my best custom attempt, but I don't think I will ever use this design again and it's Friday so I kind of half assed this one.
