DATA: 2008 Upper Deck Documentary Gold Parallel (80, 380, 680, 980, 1280, 2480)

ACQUIRED: Cincy Reds Cards

PING: Just when I thought that SIX Documentary cards of Mr. Votto were plenty, Joe from Cincy Reds Cards hooks me up phat with SIX more. Now, this isn’t just SIX more Documentary cards, it’s SIX parallels. And what a sweet paralell it is! Upper Deck stamped “2008″ on this bad-boy and also made a box at the bottom of the card gold instead of silver.

Mind. Blown.

PING: This set from Upper Deck is kinda dumb, I think. I bet someone out there is collecting all 4,980 cards from the set. What kills it for me is the fact that photos are repeated. I have six cards from this set featuring Joey Votto, and they are all the same photo. I totally understand the cost associated with licensing a photo for each and every card… but if you’re not going to do that, what’s the point? Anyways, this photo has Joey hustling after a bunted ball, sporting a nice goofy look while doing it too. Joey can’t look like a movie star in every photo, right? I have no clue how many Votto cards are in the Documentary set. I think six is enough for me.
