Mailday: June 13

[JesRey]

I won an auction last week for a pair of Jerry Sands Game-Used Memorabilia. The cards aren't him pictured in a Dodgers uniform but instead it's the minor league affiliate, Chattanooga Lookouts.

Jerry Sands was a 25th round draft pick in 2008 by the Dodgers and made his MLB Debut on April 18, 2011. He doubled in his first major league at-bat against Tim Hudson. On June 9, the Dodgersoptioned Sands to Triple A Albuquerque.

I think this product is awesome because collectors can receive players during their minor league stints before they make it to the majors. It makes it more exciting to collect players in their minor league uniforms instead of just the Dodgers uniform.

There is also a Dee Gordon game-used memorabilia from the same product that I'm trying to get my hands on.

I will be keeping one of the Sands for my personal collection and the other one is for trade. Looking for Dodgers in return.
