Recent Royals: 2008 SP Authentic Letter Mike Aviles V, L, K

I have very few card collections given my limited resources and space, but I did decide some time ago to begin collecting on-card Royals autographs. It’s been a blast so far trying to track these things down and this is the latest addition to my collection. To view the cards currently in the collection, take a look at the Gallery or the other posts in this series. I’m working on getting a legit want list together on my trade page but, in the meantime, if you have any on-card Royals autos that it looks like I don’t have, don’t hesitate to drop me a line!

Did You Know: Edward Scissorhands is wearing a "V" hat when he's arrested.

What the L?! LOL!!1

I'm sure someone made these spell out something funny. Someone find me a picture.

When I started getting these letter cards I thought, “Okay, they’re not on-card, but at least some forethought went in to how they’d be put on a card so I guess they count.” Now that I have a bunch of them, I think they suck. Just plain suck. Of all the manuletters, this set is the best since the photo is more than just a tiny floating head. But seriously… why do they spell out the guy’s first name? At that point, you’ve completely lost the point. Plus, these have parallels where the tiny bit of actual card is a little bit shiny or something. Lame. I think I’m done with these. Anyone want them?

Oh, it’s Mike Aviles. So I guess not.
