I saw this card a while back and wanted it for the PC. I don’t collect a lot of off-sizes or minis but this one had James Wood and was pretty unique. And was a Gem at PSA 10.

Wood’s time on the IL has been longer than anticipated for the Nationals but hoping for a recovery to end his season well.

Although currently working his way back from an oblique strain, James Wood has had a very impressive 2026 season. Including another All-Star nod as a reserve outfielder for the National League.

This is one of a few sharp Wood cards that I have in the PC. Am also waiting on PSA to grade a Rookie Frozenfractor, which I should have back in the next month or so.

What a season for James Wood - and here is his mid-season call-up card from 2024. It’s got a population of 1 in the PSA-graded world and is serial number 9 out of a total of 10 cards in the red parallel.

This pairs really well with a few other interesting Wood pickups I have done in the last year or so, including a FrozenFractor parallel card.

A few days ago Wood connected for a game-tying two-run blast in the fifth and later hit a solo shot in the eighth to give Washington some insurance in a great victory over the D-backs. He’s up to 30 homers in 2026, which makes him the first National since Adam Dunn in 2009-2010 to do so in back-to-back seasons.

This is a /50 and a PSA 10 with pop of 2.

Loved this card when I saw it at a card show in DC last month. Picked it up with another James Wood and a Jordan Walker auto. With his All-Star selection it felt like a good time to post it.
