I look because Panini has become the go-to place for relics and autos of the unknowns. A month ago I picked up an autograph of Victor Caratini, as he was included in the Donruss set.
Diamond Kings came out a week ago and Caratini has both autographs and relic cards. Since he's played for the Cubs this year and the card shows him as a Cub, the relic meets my rule.
Victor become's the 86th Cub to have a relic card that shows him as a Cub in a season he played for the Cubs. Here's the complete list:
| Arismendy Alcantara | Kosuke Fukudome | Jose Nieves |
| Albert Almora | Nomar Garciaparra | Mike Olt |
| Moises Alou | Matt Garza | Corey Patterson |
| Jake Arrieta | Mark Grace | Felix Pie |
| Javier Baez | Mark Grudzielanek | Juan Pierre |
| Darwin Barney | Jason Hammel | Mark Prior |
| Francis Beltran | Ian Happ | Aramis Ramirez |
| Kris Bryant | Rich Harden | Anthony Rizzo |
| Damon Buford | Brendan Harris | Addison Russell |
| Marlon Byrd | Kevin Hart | Jeff Samardzija |
| Jeimer Candelario | Jason Heyward | Kyle Schwarber |
| Victor Caratini | Bobby Hill | Jorge Soler |
| Andrew Cashner | Rich Hill | Alfonso Soriano |
| Welington Castillo | Todd Hundley | Sammy Sosa |
| Starlin Castro | Brett Jackson | Geovany Soto |
| Aroldis Chapman | Jacque Jones | Matt Szczur |
| Hee Seop Choi | Eric Karros | Ryan Theriot |
| Tyler Colvin | David Kelton | Josh Vitters |
| Willson Contreras | Bryan LaHair | Darryle Ward |
| Juan Cruz | Junior Lake | Todd Wellemeyer |
| Wade Davis | Derrek Lee | Randy Wells |
| Ryan Dempster | Jon Lester | Rondell White |
| Blake DeWitt | Ted Lilly | Jerome Williams |
| Jason Dubois | Kenny Lofton | Kerry Wood |
| Jim Edmonds | Greg Maddux | Carlos Zambrano |
| Carl Edwards | Carlos Marmol | Ben Zobrist |
| Mike Fontenot | Gary Matthews, Jr. | Julio Zuleta |
| Dexter Fowler | Fred McGriff | |
| Kyuji Fujikawa | Bill Mueller |

Catcher cards from Panini are the best kind too, since they don't look unlicensed due to all the protective equipment!
