Clayton Kershaw was the Cy Young winner in 2011 and was runner up to the RA Dickey Show in 2012. This year Kershaw is among the leading candidates once again - He is led the League in ERA (1.83!!), Ks, ERA+, as well as Lowest WHIP.
2012 Panini Prizm
Panini Prizm really isn't my thing.
I think Panini Prizm went for $3 for a 4 card pack. A bit beyond the Team Phungo budget. One thing I don't understand about cards that are not MLB licensed is the sticker price. I mean if your not paying MLB megabucks for an exclusive, why do your cards cost just as much (and more) than Topps. I don't get it.
Prizm are higher card stock - chromium cards to be specific. Which is nice but bumps up costs a bit.
The biggest reason I am not a Prizm collector isn't the license nor is it the money. I just have never been a fan of the sets where every card is one of the players image is taken totally out of the the picture it has originated. I prefer a card werhe I can see the field or stadium and try and figure out where and when the game was played. All that being said this Kershaw card has a fine photo of the lefty as did the remaining cards in the small "pack".
