Another New Darwin Barney Card (at least to me!)

 It happened again.  I missed another Darwin Barney item.  Shame on me!

This one comes from the Cubs Vineline magazine in 2013.  Barney backers will remember that this was the season after he won the Gold Glove.  The Cubs decided to note the award with a special card.  How did I not see this back in 2013??



The cards were numbered to 2,500.  I'm assuming that the card was a premium given to those who opened a Vineline subscription.  It's also a much bigger that a traditional card, measuring 3½" x 5".

This was the only one listed on eBay when I found it.  None were in the sold listings.  Even though there were 2,500 printed, most don't seem to be out there.
