Aces In The Cards: Vol. 4
As a new feature this season, Not Just Baseball…Aceball will look at the Reno Aces within the baseball card industry. All the oddest, visually striking, and valuable cards for some of your favorite Aces players will be showcased each month. This month we take a look at RHP Evan Marshall, RHP Kevin Munson, and LHP Joe Paterson.
Evan Marshall
This card of Marshall is from the popular “Bowman” set from Topps baseball cards. Designated as the “1st Bowman Chrome Card” of Marshall, the card adds additional value to baseball card collectors. In addition to being his first bowman chrome card, this particular version is the “red refractor parallel” and is limited to only 5 copies in the entire world!

Kevin Munson
One of the few cards of Munson on the market, this Donruss Elite card features Munson in his collegiate uniform while he attended James Madison University. In addition to providing a unique picture of his college playing days, the card also features an autograph of Munson. Typically baseball cards featuring players in their collegiate jerseys don’t sell well however. Donruss/Panini currently don’t possess the needed MLB rights in order to showcase their clients/players in their Major League apparel.
Joe Paterson
This is an official “rookie card” of Aces LHP Joe Paterson, as collectors can see the stamped “RC” logo in the bottom left portion of the card. The card features Paterson on the mound with his patented side-arm delivery, and is also visually striking due to the “X-Fractor” technology on the front.
