A National Card Show wouldn't be complete without my picking up Jonathan Schoop cards dirt cheap. I have continued to take advantage of him being grossly underrated, which is fine, since I can get some really nice stuff of his.
This year, I picked up some great parallels and a couple autos. The above green refractor from 2015 Topps Chrome is numbered 7/99 and came out of a dollar box. It was cheaper than a dollar because I got a bulk deal on it, so that made it even better.
This 2011 Bowman Platinum blue parallel was also in a dollar box. Even worse, it was unsleeved, just floating around loose in the box. It is numbered 9/199 and now resides in a penny sleeve and top loader.
This 2014 Bowman Chrome Mini blue parallel is numbered 112/250. It was ALSO in a dollar box and was floating around loose.
I don't remember what I paid for this 2011 Leaf Valiant Schoop auto, but I believe it was in a $5.00 box. Not too bad for a nice auto. This is a cool-looking card that definitely looks better in person. It didn't scan all that well.
Finally, here is a nice 2014 Tier One auto numbered 211/399 that was priced at $7.00, but I got cheaper since it, too, was part of a bulk deal. I need to sit down and count how many Schoop autos I have. I'm sure I have a bunch now.
Schoop is having a great season for the Orioles. batting .282 with 20 homers through 127 games. He has been a solid piece for the Orioles and could very well top out at more than 30 home runs this year. I believe Schoop will have a few big moments for the O's down the stretch.
