A 1/1 Bat Barrel relic of baseball Hall of Famer, Nellie Fox, was pulled in the Vintage Breaks card breaks!
While ripping 2024 Leaf Lumber, the "young gun", Rob, pulled off card number 2 from the box and got a peek at the card underneath. Rob then made this face:
If you saw the card on deck, you'd probably be right there with Rob! After pulling card number two, a Fred Lynn relic, a quick glimpse of card three was had - a Bat Barrel!
2024 Leaf Lumber comes with 4 cards per box, each being a memorabilia card or an auto. As you guessed by the product name of "Lumber", these are bat relics. Leaf included huge 1/1 hits from game-used bat barrels with the player's name plate. The names possible in the Bat Barrel checklist include current stars like Aaron Judge to Hall of Fame legends like Ted Williams.
Whose bat barrel was Rob about to pull? Check out the video:
HUGE hit! Congrats, Kevin W. Nellie Fox was a 15-time All-Star, won 3 Gold Gloves, and took home the NL MVP award in 1959. Playing for the Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Sox, and Colt .45's/Astros between 1947-1965, Nellie Fox used his lumbar to tally 2,663 career hits on his way to being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997.
You can see the nameplate has Fox's full name of Nelson Fox. Just imagine - this bat was held in the hands of a Hall of Famer and swung in a game back when you could buy a pack of baseball cards for 5 cents! The A's haven't been in Philadelphia in 69 years! The Colt .45s lost that name 59 years ago!
If you'd like to try and pull your own 1/1 Bat Barrel like Kevin W., we do have more 2024 Leaf Lumber breaks available for you HERE.
