RIP Wallet Card 2016 - Long Live Wallet Card 2017

It's a new year, which I love because it is a highly subjective and completely arbitrary division of time, and that means time for a new wallet card. If you recall from 2016 (why would you?), I rocked a 1988 Score Chili Davis in my wallet. We had a couple of adventures, but he didn't really get out much. 


Here's what he looked like when he was added to the wallet...

And Here's Chili today...

Say Hello to the 2017 Wallet Card!

I decided to go with a Twin for the 2017 Wallet Card (I happened to be in the middle of sorting my Twins cards) and since this particular came up about 6 times in different boxes this weekend, He's the big winner. Not the most famous Twin, but he does have more World Series Rings than Barry Bonds...

  1. I know it sounds insane... but the beat up Chili looks so much cooler than gem mint Chili. Hope your Atherton takes a similar beating in 2017.

    1. I expect nothing less! 88 Donruss was made to fade, ding, scuff, and get beat up.

  2. Today, your beat up Chili would be called a sparkle edged refractor.

    1. Wouldn't that be a cool trick? Put any junk wax common in your wallet, and it converts into a shiny new refractor. I will have to remember that if I ever find a genie in a bottle!

  3. You know in the sunlight Keith's glasses darkened and he gained his super powers.

  4. Love the beat-up Chili!
    Good luck with Keith in 2017.
    I'm gonna try to get my wallet card post up this evening.
