#BlueJays50 Card of the Day 266/365: 2009 O-Pee-Chee Baseball David Purcey (📷 eBay)

With Justin Verlander set to retire it reminded me that the Jays took Purcey 14th overall in that '04 draft. Purcey was most recently a youth baseball coach and instructor in Texas.

For some reason, cards featuring the spectre of the player in the background were really big in the 90s.

This sweet patch just sold Monday on eBay for a cool $1200 USD. Despite a down season, collectors are still going after some of his most sought after cards.

Raise your hand if you collected any of these in the 90s. I actually never got the Jays one but had Oakland.

After years of injury setbacks and underperformance, it was great to see McGowan finally put it together in 2007. His almost no-hitter vs. COL being the highlight.
