A New Relic

I have mentioned before that Sandy Alomar Jr. has very few relic cards.  He has a few, but certainly not many.  Mostly this is due to the fact that relic cards were becoming common in the early 2000's, which was after Alomar was no longer a star catcher with a starting job.

This is a 2002 Topps Gold Label card celebrating Alomar's All Star Game MVP in 1997.  This is the gold version, there is also a platinum and titanium version.  I do have the platinum version.  I love the small picture of his 1997 card above the bat piece, particularly since that was such a unique photo of Alomar.
