Coins!

A few years ago, I found myself inside a cards and collectibles shop when I spotted something I had never seen before: several plastic player coins released by Topps in 2013 and 2014. I believe they were 50 cents each, so I picked out three of my favorite players: 

Here are the backs: 

Although these pictures don't do them justice, I think these are really nice looking coins, and they're in good shape. The Posey and Bumgarner coins were from 2013, and the Trout was from 2014. Anyone else have any coins from these sets? 

Although I am ultimately a Texas Rangers fan, my loyalties were previously with the Angels and the Giants, hence why these three players were my favorites. My grandfather was one of the last Ellis Island immigrants in 1950, and he spent his childhood years in New York, where he became a diehard Giants fan. He went to college in California, where he met my grandmother, and they settled down in the Bay Area, where he continued seeing Giants games at Candlestick. When he retired, he got a job as an usher at the stadium (then Pac Bell), which he enjoyed until his death. It was a really cool job, since he got to share it with my grandmother, and since he could get paid to watch all the Giants' home games. His love for the Giants passed on to my father, who passed it on to me, and I went to several Giants games as a little kid. As I got older, I got invested in the Giants' 2010, 2012, and 2014 World Championships and the insane performances from Posey and MadBum. And of course, Trout was the sensational player in the game at that point, and since my mother is an Angels fan, I loved him as well. 

What are y'all's thoughts on Buster Posey for the Hall of Fame? I always love a good Hall of Fame debate, and I personally think he belongs. Here is a list of his career accomplishments: 

-In an era when catchers rarely hit .300, Posey sustained a .302 / .372 / .460 slash line across his entire career, good for an OPS+ of 129. 

-He was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2010 and MVP in 2012, when he led the Majors with a .336 batting average to go along with 24 homers and 103 RBI's. 

-He was a seven-time all-star, five-time Silver Slugger, and three-time World Champion in only twelve seasons, and to date is the only catcher ever to win a Rookie of the Year Award, an MVP, and a Batting Title. 

-He was excellent behind the plate as well, throwing out 32.9% of potential base thieves over his career and catching three no-hitters, including Matt Cain's perfect game in 2012. He beat out Yadier Molina for a Gold Glove in 2016. 

-He was twice the NL Comeback Player of the Year, once in 2012 after missing most of 2011 to a broken leg (which resulted in his very own rule change) and again in 2021, when he batted .304 after opting out in 2020 and led the Giants to a franchise-record 107 wins. 

While his counting statistics are somewhat low, he was still the best catcher in the league when he retired and could have kept compiling his record, but instead chose a higher calling, to retire and care for his medically fragile children. He had nothing else to prove on the diamond. 

Any other pros or cons for his case?
