Speaking of Nate Schierholtz, Phillies photocards 2.1 alert:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NATE-SCHIERHOLTZ-PHILLIES-SIGNED-2012-POSTCARD-W-COA-/150915845219?pt=US_Autographs&hash=item2323490c63
I never saw the set for sale at the stadium, so I'm wondering if this was printed just for Schierholtz to answer autograph requests.
I'm not paying $15 for it though!
Good find!
I've e-mailed the seller to see where the card came from. Stay tuned.
Ha! I did too. Here's the reply I got:
"The card that you found on e-bay was from the Phillies Phestival that supports ALS. That card most likely came from a mystery grab bag and not added in the second series set of cards. Those cards would have gone through the community outreach department and not merchandising as it was for the Phestival."
However, as I emailed back, Schierholtz only came to the Phils two days _after_ the Phestival, so it couldn't have been from there. But it could well be that the Phils created for him to send to fans who wrote to him for an autograph.
Next stop--Phillies Community Outreach. Let me know if you hear anything different.
Oops, I just re-read your comment. To clarify, my reply came from the Phillies merchandising department, not from the seller. Let me know what the seller says!
