2018 Topps, Justin Verlander

Card No. 650

This card marks the first time Justin Verlander appeared in the flagship Topps set as a member of the Astros....Not sure I'll ever be a fan of an orange baseball top....Verlander owns the distinction of having a 'First Year' card and a 'Rookie' card in a regular Topps set....Appeared in the 2005 set as a Draft Pick while his technical rookie card can be found in 2006 Topps....No A.L. pitcher started more games (34) or struck out more batters (290) than Justin did for the Astros in 2018.
