The Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, finished the season with a 68-73 record in 2012 under manager Kevin Boles. The team included two of the Red Sox’ top 10 prospects, according to Baseball America: outfielders Jackie Bradley Jr. (#2) and Bryce Brentz (#8).

Grandstand produced a 34-card team set for Portland, which is printed on non-glossy cardstock which should be easy to get signed if you collect autographs. Unfortunately, the cards came out late enough in the year that I didn’t have the opportunity to get any of them signed.

The majority of the cards have a vertical setup, but there are a few horizontal ones thrown in for variety. The photos are mostly game action shots; there aren’t many posed pics. The backs are printed in black, navy blue and red, with recent stats and career highlights.
