Albert pujols - let's see them

[bigfanNY]

This is a tough card. From 2012 Topps series 1. Pujols was traded in the offseason and this card was offered as an SSP. I picked it up 5 or 6 years ago. Glad I did because it rarely shows up.
This Cap with outstanding game use and great signature was also picked up about 5 years ago.
One of the final 5 I need for my 500 HR Ball I hope Pujols lowers his autograph prices when he retires.

Love the card and the cap!

Who doesn't love Pujols!

HOF…. Cardinals or Angels cap. There have been some controversies in the past, Carter, Winfield, Tome and Henderson come to mind. My guess is his best years and best results would make St Louis a lock. As I understand it the player’s preference is factored in but not not determinative of the decision which is made by MLB and the HOF

Well there is a twist to the HOF cap decision. The cap on the plaque is the decision of the HOF...But what cap is worn by the player during the induction ceremony is the Players choice. Like collecting cards these small variations make it more fun.
And a post from ALR always adds fun and information to a topic..

Albert hit another last night to tie the game in the 6th - crazy what he is doing and doing it with class and humility.

2 away from 700 - it's coming soon!

The really crazy recognition will come after 699 - as it should.

My son and I made the 3 hr trip to St Louis Friday night to see it. I have video of HR 698. It was electric in there!

I don't think there is any doubt which cap will go on the plaque or which cap he would want.
