2004 Topps, Roberto Alomar

Card No. 456

For the longest time, I assumed (wrongly) that this was Roberto Alomar's final Topps card....His card in the 2005 set is actually his final regular Topps entry....Robbie garnered 12 All-Star Game nods and 10 Gold Gloves during his Hall of Fame career.....This card represents his only Topps card as a Diamondback....His true rookie can be found in the 1988 Traded set....Alomar played just 38 games for the D-backs before he was traded to the White Sox in August 2004.

2013 Topps, Trevor Bauer

Card No. 61

The 3rd-overall selection in the 2011 MLB draft, Trevor Bauer is cocked and ready to fire in this snazzy 2013 Topps card....Trevor was a standout at UCLA where he was awarded the Golden Spikes Award following the '11 season....This is Bauer's first appearance in a Topps base set....His rookie card is part of the previous year's Update collection....Trevor was dealt to the Indians as part of a three-team deal with the D-Backs and Reds, 12/11/12....Spent most of '13 season at Triple-A Columbus but also made four starts for Cleveland (1-2, 5.29).

2000 Topps Traded & Rookies, Curt Schilling

Card No. T123

A three-time World Series champion and a member of the 3,000-strikeout club, Curt Schilling shows off his new uniform in this card from the 2000 Traded & Rookies set....Arizona acquired Curt from the Phillies at the '00 trade deadline for a package of players including Travis Lee and Omar Daal....Also appeared in the Traded/Update sets in 1992 and 2004....Schilling's rookie card can be found in the 1990 Topps set....Went 5-6 with a 3.69 ERA in 13 start for the D-backs following the trade.
