Card of the Day - 2013 Finest : Clayton Kershaw 1993 Retro Insert

First our 1A ace pitcher Zack and now our true ace, Clayton Kershaw. I just love this retro set and now have both our top pitchers and Kemp in hand. All have been purchased for less than $3 a card with Kershaw here coming in at a modest $2.27. I now need 4 more Dodgers to complete the set which shouldn't be too hard except for Puig which is selling for a premium.

With each year that Kershaw pitches with the numbers he is putting up I believe we will look back after he retires and realize that we witnessed one of the greatest left hand pitchers if not players ever to play the game. If Kemp did not exist, Kershaw for sure would be my favorite player. All I can say is that Kershaw defines "finest" and his inclusion in this set is appropriate.

    1. I loved the 1993 set back in the day. I found out after the set was released. Lots of Dodgers and lots of stars. Great set to collect. Might try for all of them.
