I'm on a mission...

I still haven't busted a pack of 2013 Topps baseball.  Heck, I haven't opened any 2013 products.  But that doesn't mean I haven't picked my favorite set of the year.  In fact, it might be my favorite set of the decade.

I've totally fallen for the 2013 Topps Manufactured Rookie Card Patch cards.  Ever since I laid eyes on the Rickey Henderson, I've been on a mission to build this set:

I started grabbing "lots" on eBay.  So far, I have 16 out of the 25 cards.  But I'm still looking for these:

RCP4 Sandy Koufax

RCP10 Eddie Murray

RCP11 Ozzie Smith

RCP13 Jim Palmer

RCP19 Ken Griffey Jr.

RCP20 Chipper Jones

RCP22 Albert Pujols

RCP23 Mike Trout

RCP24 Bryce Harper

If you have any of these, I have a few doubles to use as trade bait:

RCP1 Willie Mays

RCP5 Bob Gibson

RCP6 Willie McCovey

RCP9 George Brett

RCP15 Wade Boggs

RCP18 Dwight Gooden

Plus I have a bunch of 2013 Topps Commemorative Patches available to help my cause:

CP4 Felix Hernandez (x3)

CP6 Jose Bautista

CP7 Trevor Bauer (x2)

CP10 Adrian Gonzalez

CP11 Giancarlo Stanton

CP12 David Wright

CP16 Billy Butler (x3)

CP20 Chipper Jones

CP21 Anthony Rizzo

CP22 Chris Sale (x2)

CP25 Joey Vatto

So if you have any 2013 for trade, please let me know.  I'm hoping Topps decides to make this a "living set" and continue to add new cards each year.  In the meantime, I'm just dying to finish building this set.

Happy Tuesday and sayonara!
