Reimold #/1961 and Jones #/61
I figured if for some reason William didn't need them, they would make a good edition to my collection. It ended up he wanted them so I was able to pick up a decent second year player from the Seattle Mariners, Jesus Montero 2012 Topps Update Golden Moments Autograph.
Monero was one of the top catching prospects last year and had a respectable year hitting .260 15 HR 62 RBI. I actually like him playing with Seattle more than the previous Yankees for a various reasons. My top reason is because in Seattle there is less pressure for a rookie to perform well and being a top prospect New York could have caused him more bench time caused by media/fan pressure in times of slumps. I have watched many games last year with Monero, I don't expect him to be a Joe Mauer or Yaddi caliber of player but he'll be a great young everyday catcher for the Mariners to build around.
