2015 Topps Gold Throwback Variation David Ortiz

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. As a nod to the Gold Together activities going on this month to help raise awareness of the leading cause of death by disease in children, I thought I'd contribute several "gold" themed posts sprinkled throughout the month. Here's the next one.


Let's talk about this card...



This is a pretty fantastic card. The "throwback" designation refers to the old timey logo in the corner. But, Ortiz is also wearing a throwback uniform in the picture, rocking the 70's pullover version of Sox uniform. The point back to the gudout is just the perfect finishing touch.

The design of the 2015 set is one of the busiest I can remember. There's a lot going on. It's like an intern wanted to show off their computer graphic skills or something. But, the gold version tends to mute that a bit somehow. Which is nice.

If you are able this month, or any month, to support the Gold Together efforts, I highly recommend you consider a donation. You can follow the the link to the American Cancer Society here.

Support their efforts to be Gold Together!
