Today’s installment brings us card #26 in the autograph set titled “Petit Freezes Hotlanta”. The card celebrates Petit throwing three scoreless innings in a game against Atlanta.

Tiki Add: 2005 Topps Chrome Gridiron Badges Relic #/100

I don’t recall seeing this card pop up too often, so when I saw it on eBay a few weeks ago I knew I had to get it. I probably over paid a little, but the cards surface looked good so I didn’t mind paying extra for it. Now I am one card closer to
