2015 Spirit Deluxe


The base set for the final Deluxe product of 2015 has arrived. We've done the flagship, the low-end and the retro releases. Here's a look a the "high-end" set, Deluxe.


I decided to go more with a simplistic design instead of the ornate, cluttered stuff that usually passes for "high-end." The cards are cut into 2 team-colored halves with a full-color player cutout jumping off from the background. Player names and team hat logos are in gold foil along the bottom along with a solid stripe making its way around the partial edge.


The back is split but not 50-50 like front, leaving a little room up top for a more intimate photo and space for the player write-up on top of a colorful background below. Also, being a high-end set, there are autographs to be had. There will be insert autos as well but I wanted to start out here with just the base parallel auto. The bottom color half fades to white a little more drastically to make room for the ink but that's the only design difference for the base autos.

More designs to come for the Deluxe set as well as the other Spirit releases.

2014 Spirit Base: 391-400


#391 - Miguel Montero
Pretty cool shot with his gear on and mask up.

#392 - Luis Avilan
I had a hard time finding photos of Avilan. I know he's not a marquee name or anything but he's been pretty good for the Braves.


#393 - Ryan Flaherty
Flaherty may have to fill in for Machado in the postseason. That's gotta be a bummer to O's fans.

#394 - Dustin Pedroia
Somehow, Pedroia is pulling off the turtleneck look.


#395 - Jason Hammel
Man, the A's are gonna be stacked in Series 3.

#396 - Adam Eaton
Pretty good illustration of Eaton's speed here.


#397 - Todd Frazier
I know Frazier's more known for his prowess at the plate, but this was just too cool of fielding shot to pass up.

#398 - Lonnie Chisenhall
That's a lotta Ls and Ns.


#399 - Juan Nicasio
I present the "I just saw my mom naked" pitchface.

#400 - Anibal Sanchez
 Last year's AL ERA leader, it's shot up almost a full run this season. 3.46 is still pretty damn decent.
