Merry Monster Card Monday! 2007 Matt Holliday

I have posted Matt Holliday’s 2007 card seven years ago but considering that Christmas lies on a Monday this year, I couldn’t resist the temptation to post it again. For the Rockies, Holliday vindicated his breakout year in 2006 by outdoing himself in 2007. The slugger led the NL in…

Monster Card Monday: 2023 Shohei Ohtani

Posting a Shohei Ohtani monster card is becoming an annual event. But if the shoe fits… Shohei continues to produce a great card as both a hitter and a pitcher. For the Angels, he led the league with 44 homers, a .412 OBP and a .654 slugging percentage. His 78…
