YADIER MOLINA CARDS IN THE BINDER
Base, parallels, numbered, autos: every Yadier Molina card Dad’s willing to part with.
Collectors chase the 2005 Topps and Bowman Chrome rookies, period. Everything else from that RC year is secondary. Now we get endless Panini inserts of Yadi in a Cardinals uniform because the guy was a lifer, which makes for boring cards when the same pose shows up in ten different products. The autograph market got flooded once he started signing everything Topps put in front of him. Sure, he is a legend behind the plate, but the hobby has milked this catcher dry with parallels and inserts nobody asked for.
ABOUT YADIER MOLINA
Yadier Molina was born on July 13, 1982 in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. He was a fourth-round pick of the Cardinals in the 2000 first-year player draft. The Cardinals' fourth-round selection in the 2000 MLB draft, Molina entered the major leagues in the 2004 season and quickly showed one of the strongest and most accurate arms in the game. He played his entire 19-year MLB career with the St. Louis Cardinals. He helped the Cardinals reach four World Series and win championships in 2006 and 2011.
His playing career included 10 All-Star appearances, nine Gold Gloves, four Platinum Gloves, and two World Series championships. After Hurricane Maria ravaged the island of Puerto Rico in September 2017, Molina began relief efforts for victims of the catastrophe, consequently receiving the Roberto Clemente Award in 2018. His longevity coupled with the success of those Cardinals teams are a big reason why he retired as their career postseason leader in hits (102) and games played (104). Known for elite defense, Molina threw out basestealers at a high rate and controlled the running game throughout his career.
