More Yankees Pies Have Surfaced. And Frankly, I Don't Care!!!

I have officially decided...I am not going to collect these Yankees "Pie in the Face" cards. It's one thing to have a variation card where the player featured is wearing a different uniform, but when your short print set is just of Yankees players getting hit with A. J. Burnett pies after a walk off win...

If Topps only did this with one player...fine. I'd go for it. But seven???

• #65b Nick Swisher PITF
• #88b Jerry Hairston, Jr. PITF
• #120b Jorge Posada PITF
• #250c Mark Teixeira PITF
• #370 Robinson Cano PITF
• #422 Francisco Cervelli PITF
• #475 Johnny Damon PITF

And there could be more. There were 15 Yankees Walk-offs in 2009. I mentioned it before, but others who got Pied include:

• Alex Rodriguez
• Juan Miranda
• Melky Cabrera
• Hideki Matsui
• Joe Girardi

Heck, even Luis Castillo of the Mets, one of Burnett's old teammates, got hit with a pie as a "Thank you" of sorts. There could be more. Or they could all just pop up here in series 1.

But frankly, I'm not going to actively hunt these down. I never thought I'd say that about a card with a base Topps design. But there. I've said it. I figure, it's a Yankee thing, Yankees fans would appreciate it more than I do. Now, I'm not saying that I don't like the look of the cards. But...I just don't care for them.

Sincerely,
