This one card post is brought to you by
Adam E from the Thoughts and Sox blog. Adam had posted this on his blog a few months back and I expressed interest because I didn’t have any cards of
David Price in his Vanderbilt uniform and I thought it looked pretty cool.
This was during spring training and I don’t think anyone thought that Price would jump out like he has, but he is acting like the Ace that the Rays hoped he would be when they used the first overall pick to select him in the 2007 draft. The card is from the
2007 Donruss Elite Extra Edition set, card #5, and Adam didn’t just send the Price card, he sent me the ENTIRE set!!! As soon as I get it sleeved up I will start posting pages, but for now here is David Price when he was dominating the NCAA. He failed in his bid for his 8th win the other night, but at
7-2 with a 2.57 ERA in 10 starts he is looking damn good. He has one shutout to his credit and 50 strikeouts in 66 innings this season.
I do have a question about this card that maybe someone can answer for me. Why does it say (NL) after Drafted by Tampa Bayon the cards front? Thanks so much Adam for this great addition to my growing David Price collection. Look for more posts from the
Thoughts and Sox vault in the near future. Go Rays! Troll out.

That's a good catch on the NL thing. I can't tell you why it happened other than to say it was another mistake in long, long list of mistakes that card manufacturers made when they were churning out product faster than they could edit it. Now Topps is making mistakes on purpose (I know this isn't a Topps card). Congrats to Price on his season thus far.
