After the really solid break I had with the NFL Icons, I decided to try the MLB version since it was a lower price point, but stated it would have the same five "hits" ( two letterman, two swatches and an auto). As I've stated before, I love the Icons set. As a collector who is just returning to the trade, it gives great bang for the buck. Red means traded, green means not trading and yellow means make offers.
Letterman: Cole Hamels: E /45, Ken Griffey Jr.: N 35/35
Swatches: Legendary Icons - Ozzie Smith, MLB Icons - Michael Young ---Neither Numbered
Auto: Brett Gardner /500
MLB Icons: Josh Beckett and Alex Gordon /999
Legendary Icons: Ozzie Smith --- No Number, red border
MLB Rookies: Rick Porcello and Dexter Fowler /599
I love former player cards, so the Ozzie Smith's were definate keepers, while everything else would end up trade bait. I have since traded the Hamels and Griffey Jr. letters and Gardner Auto. While I only got an Ozzie Smith to add to my keeping collection, I got a few Beckett listed cards that I knew I could used to trade at Premium Investments.
