I got a PWE from Jeff at 2x3 Heroes that was loaded with class, history, fun, and mystery, in that order.
Take a look:

| Class |
I'll admit that I've never been big on the Allen & Ginter cards. I was raised on the sparkly, the glossy, and the refract-y. But after 6 months of being back in the game, they are definitely growing on me.
That being said, these black bordered minis are super-classy. The detail is great on a card so small and the design is attractive and timeless. Awesome card.

| History |
Victory is another set I've never really taken a shine to. They seem so plain and unremarkable compared with all the great stuff out there.
The specimen above is the exception. It's a well put-together card with a lot of historical clout. Daddy like.

| Fun |
The modern takes on antique designs are one of my favorite trends going on. I really enjoy the Topps Heritage sets as well at the '75 minis in the 2013 flagship set. I find them cool and instantly likeable. This particular card is a lot of fun.
One question: Is that a batter at 3rd base?

| Mystery |
Which brings us to the mystery part of this PWE. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you, Jeff, in not knowing why this card made it into the stack. I must admit though, it's a pretty baddass card - certainly one of the better "play at the plate" cards I've seen from the peak of the overproduction era.
Plus the 10 year-old Braves fan in me likes seeing Kelly Gruber get dirty (even though he's probably safe).
Thanks for the great cards!
