2017 Topps Tier One - The Dodgers Tier One Relic Cards

Here is a final last look at the various Dodgers cards available in packs of Topps 2017 Tier One Baseball set. Go here to check out all of my past post on this set.

Featured below are the Tier One Relic, Legends Relics and Autographed Relic cards. With exception of the Dual Autograph Relics, all the inserts below also include a "1 of 1" triple relic card, but none of them have yet to be seen on eBay. I do show both the single and double relics for each player below. On a side note, I have yet to see any of the Duke Snider Legends Relic cards anywhere.

Blog Kiosk: 7/17/2017 - Dodgers Links - Some Weekend Odds and Ends

The Dodgers just keep on rollin'. Instead of boring you with details I thought I would point to the above action photograph taken by Dodgers photographer Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers 2017. As you can see, Jon decided to photograph the game in a different perspective, and in the process snapped one of my favorite subjects. Here, he captured Kike Hernandez with a broken bat swing -- complete with a piece of the barrel flying off the bat.

Go here to check out more pics by Jon from Sunday's game. You can also see pics from Saturday's game here, or Friday's game here. Below are more links to check out:

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1954 the Dodgers field the very first starting nine that consist of a majority of black ballplayers for the first time in Major League history. In 1974 Dodger starter Tommy John suffers an arm injury on the mound against the Expos that would eventually lead to a revolutionary new surgery that would be widely known as "Tommy John" surgery -- to repair a torn ligament in the elbow by replacing it with a ligament taken from another part of the body. The surgery is performed by Dr. Frank Jobe. In 1976 Walter Alson wins his 2,000th game as a manager. His Dodgers defeat the Cubs in Los Angeles, 5-4. Alston would then leave the Dodgers at the end of this season -- finishing with a 2,040-1,613 lifetime mark as skipper.

2017 Topps Now -- #351, #355, #356 -- Puig's Homers, Bellinger's Cycle and Wood's Eleventh Win

I am late again with several Topps Now cards released over the weekend. On Friday evening Yasiel Puig carried the Dodgers to a 6-4 victory over Miami to open the second half of the season, and he did it in dramatic fashion.

2017 Topps Stadium Club - The Dodgers Base Cards

The always fun Topps Stadium Club set was released to collectors on Wednesday, and it doesn't disappoint. There are some fantastic photos in the set; including several I've never seen on cardboard. Go here to check out a complete checklist.

Eleven Dodgers are in the 300 card base set, and surprisingly there are no Dodger base variations available to speak of. (Update: One SSP base Dodger variation exist and you can see it here) There are chrome versions of the base cards available, but they are basically just parallels -- carbon copies of the base, but super shiny. A complete Dodger checklist of the Chrome cards is at the very bottom.

My favorite Dodger cards in the set are that of Corey Seager and Jackie Robinson. The photograph on the Seager card frames the entire batters box as he takes a big swing. Then, as if out of nowhere, an arm stretches out in an attempt to catch the pitched ball. I love the Jackie Robinson card mainly because I don't recall ever seeing that photo. Stay tuned for Dodgers inserts next week.
