Why This Card Matters

The back makes the October case in one paragraph: “Smoltz’s regular-season luster made Atlanta a lock for the playoffs every year, but even that was dimmed by his luminosity come October. The radiant righty was all but unbeatable when the lights were brightest, posting the highest winning percentage (.789) of any pitcher in history with at least 25 postseason starts.” The career line printed alongside it is one of the strangest and best in the Hall: 213-155 with a 3.33 ERA, 723 games, 481 starts, 154 saves, 3,473 innings and 3,084 strikeouts. Nobody else has both 200 wins and 150 saves. John Smoltz was born May 15, 1967 in Detroit and came to Atlanta in one of the most lopsided trades in baseball history — the Tigers sent him over for Doyle Alexander in 1987. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2015.

Base — Flat Black With No Prizm Shimmer

Flat black chromium with no rainbow or silver prizm sheen and no parallel name printed. This card number is almost entirely parallel traffic, so to be exact: not Silver, Green, Blue Ice, Blue /199, Blue Cracked Ice, Green Cracked Ice, Pink Ice, Red /299, Red Wave, Ruby Wave, Pulsar /499, Red or Orange Pulsar /399, Orange Wave /49, Purple /149, Power Prizm /99, Green Scope /75, Premium Pandora /199, Gold Pandora, Glitter SSP or Snakeskin SSP. Panini is unlicensed, so the card reads only ATLANTA, with no team nickname, no logos and no printed position.
