I’m not really sure if the Fleer Platinum counts as a rookie card or not. I’m posting both Fleer cards to show that the blue blemish looks like a consistent printing issue.

More Pujols Rookie Cards
I picked up this three card lot on ebay last month for way less than the $35 – $40 local shops are asking for Albert’s 2001 Topps Stars card alone.

Winter Warm Up 2011–Day 3
This is the first year we went to the Warm Up on Monday. It is only a half day but we still got some cool autographs. I’ve met Pat Perry before at the Cardinals baseball camp last summer. We paid for Allen Craig and the rest were freebies. The Shane Robinson matches last year’s card except this one is on a Target card. I also got my third Rookie of the Year. Eli Marrero was really nice and asked for a picture with me that might end up on the Cardinals website.
Dad – Eli was extremely nice, especially considering we were in the last group of the day and he had been signing for nearly two hours. Still, I’ll remember him most for helping to bring Wainwright to the Cardinals.

Winter Warm Up 2011–Day 2 (Morning)
The Shelby Miller line was really, really long. I got lucky and met someone who saved a spot for me at the front of the line. Bill Virdon and Wally Moon are my first Rookie of the Year autographs. I got three Adam Reifer autographs so I can give one to my friend who’s dad is going to Afghanistan next month. Hopefully Zack Cox ends up better than Brett Wallace – his line was long too.
Dad – I highly recommend that folks going to next year’s Winter Warm Up to book the package through the Hyatt and not through the Cardinals. Guests who book rooms and passes through the hotel have priority access each morning which means no waiting in the miles long line just to get into the Warm Up (or even inside the building). Guests have assigned line spots on the second floor and are allowed upstairs to the autograph areas before general admission. For us, that meant getting in and out of one autograph line and into a second before most fans ever make it into their first.
