Totally unrelated but I bought this set a couple of years ago and this card was missing from the set so I really need it if anyone has it.

Woohoo, my first RCotD! 

I have this card in my traders, @crh614 if you want it, it's yours. But I note that you have trading off and might be away.

Otherwise, @xdj511 I am happy to help you finish your set.

I'll let you guys work it out, just let me know :)

hiflew, your post reminded me of Mike Hessman. He had 223 ML ABs from 2003-2010, but he continued to play minor league ball until 2015, at the age of 37, when he played 114 games at AAA Toledo (.237, 16 HR). Somewhere I have an article I saved about it and he basically said what you said...just playing for the love of the game. 

I saw Hessman several times in Tigers spring trainings here in Lakeland.

The back is quite basic, but has some nice touches. Better than a lot of major league cards, which these days often seems to be the case for minors.
