Default **The Official Cal Raleigh AKA "The Big Dumper" Thread**
For those that know me, it's no secret that I PC Cal Raleigh in a BIG way.

If you have been outbid gunning for high-end, low # or rare Cal cards (or sold one), there's a good chance it was to me.

I'm a big fan of the Topps Dynasty RPA's, and the 2022 version lent itself to a beautiful Cal Raleigh (and Julio) RPA. The blues in these just pop!

This is 2 (of the 3) 1/1's.

*SIDE NOTE* If anyone knows where the 3rd version (DAP-CRA1) is or has, please get in touch with me

Was going to post this in the heritage black thread but it belongs here as well!

Love that the heritage doesn’t shy away from giving us some big dumper.

I’ve seen maybe 5 of them and all have Ripken’s auto. They are /25. I assume all 25 are the wrong Cal.

At least that one makes sense.

I've only seen one example of mine, which does NOT make sense




BTW, actual Dumper-related content, here are my current Dumper autos:

That's like a 1/1/1 with an extra /1 for the Julio on Soto.

I bought a First Bowman Chrome refractor auto for my FSU PC when he was in the Minors and I’m really having to resist the urge to sell.

"Little Dumper", I guess, since this is a Topps Mini RC, numbered to 25



After 91 homers over the previous 3 seasons, he's on pace to go well past the 30 per year he's been putting up.

Happy to see Dumper & Julio pushing each other. Hope the hitting continues once the rotation is back & healthy. Ms could be dangerous with these guys hitting at MVP levels

He's #3 in Fangraphs WAR, and he has a legitimate case to be the third best player in baseball behind Judge and Ohtani. Elite defensive catcher and an insane 176 OPS+ - and that OPS+ number was before his 2 bombs tonight.

Good to see our boy getting his due. Here is my only auto of his - and it’s already framed so no need for PSA
