2011 Set - Oakland Athletics

The Oakland A’s always look so cool on the green cards. No other teams look quite like them. Some of the best looking cards in the set are from the A’s due to the color, not my cutout work.


The team itself is not great, though there are some fun, draftable cards. The pitching is definitely the strength here, with 4 starters for 400+ points, headed by ace Brandon McCarthy, and 3 relievers for 200+ points. I like Jemile Weeks and Chad Willingham on the offensive side, but there isn’t much else to speak of. (Anyone drafting Daric Barton

at 10 points?)


Don’t miss the Hideki Matsui “alt-foil” and the Sal Bando and Vida Blue In Memoriam cards!


Foils: Sal Bando (IM), Vida Blue (IM), Brandon McCarthy























And the Pennant Run addition:



The A's have two In Memoriam foils:
