2 Days in a Row

I got another card in the mail today, and after getting a dual relic yesterday, I got an autograph today. He was a starter, at least for the first few weeks of the season.

If I remember correctly, he was our starting center fielder but after coming out the gate at a snail pace he lost his spot in center and then eventually his spot on the team. He had a great spring but it didn't carry over. Which considering this is a 2013, says something that he didn't get his shot until 2017. I picked this up for $2.25/shipped.

Wet Monday

You actually get a post during the week. Mainly because I skipped work today. Technically, I didn't skip, I had to go to court this morning so they knew I wasn't going to be there. After that we grabbed some breakfast, hit Walmart and went to visit my grandmother in the hospital (she had a hip replaced) and by the time I got home, I would have been getting home from work and I still had plenty of time to post. What that tells me is I dick around to much after work and that's why I don't post during the week. I guess I just told on myself.

I got one envelope today with 2 cards, it was delivered UPS while I was gone so I wasn't to happy that it was laying on my porch, in the rain but once I opened the soaking wet manila envelope, there was another, smaller manila envelope inside so it ended up being fine. The rain hadn't soaked through the 2nd envelope so that was good.

Either way, let's get to it.

I've been bidding on a bunch of his cards and haven't been able to get them under a quarter. He had a decent year this year after coming up and there is a lot of talk about him being great so I've been wanting to pick his cards up. I grabbed this for $.25/shipped.

I also picked up this Denard dual relic for $1.84/shipped. I guess it pays that he isn't playing anymore. It's also numbered to /399. It's my 2nd relic of his and my 32nd card of Denard.

Single card Saturday

I did get one card today and for most (probably all) of you, it'll be nothing exciting but it was for me, because I need it. I remember bidding on this without checking to see if I needed it for sure and after my last post, that was probably a bad idea but it worked out, I didn't have it.

I picked up this for a whopping $.06/shipped. It's a 2008 Topps Finest which I'm not sure I have any, that's why I took a shot without looking it up. It didn't look very familiar.

If I ever get around to listing the cards in my box I'd know if I have it for sure or not but for now, I'm working (slowly) on getting everything listed with a picture. I do have over 10,000 photos now so I'm getting there (again, slowly).

2 out of 5 ain't bad

I got 3 envelopes with 5 cards, although 2 of the envelopes came from the same seller and they were cards I bought at the same time. Following last Saturday's new player collection, tonight I have another.

I picked this one up with the following 3 cards. Although, I just went to take it off my team set and it wasn't there, which means I already have it. Damn it. Oh well, it was only a quarter/shipped.

I also picked up these 3 for $.25/shipped/each and upon putting them on my Barry Larkin page, I already had 2 of these. I don't know what the hell happened. If I drank I could blame it on that but I don't so I can't. I do get to add the 1996 Score thought. That makes 148 Larkin cards.

I know this one I didn't have because it's my first of Jehu and it's a Michigan card at that. 2 collections in one. This one I even got cheaper, only $.23/shipped.

Saturday catch-up

Sadly, I was a slacker again this week so this post is all the cards that I got. It was a good week though, a relic, an auto, even the first card of a player collection.

We'll start with a player collection that I tend to log in a bunch of cards throughout the year. This 1987 Donruss Highlights card of Ripken came to me for $.25/shipped. This is my 349th card of Cal jr.

I picked up this former Wolverine for $.19/shipped. It's my 23rd card of Funchess which is the most by far, of any of the Wolverines that went pro that year.

This would be the new player collection. I've bid on a bunch of Peppers cards but this is the first one that I finally won, and for only $.17/shipped at that.

I picked up this Danks auto for $2.25/shipped. I really need to make a list of my autos and relics, I don't think this is my first of him but I don't have many, I want to say it's my 2nd auto but I'm not positive.

Last but not least, I picked up this Abreu relic. I always like to get cards of him because he is underrated outside of Chicago. Kind of like Konerko was, people don't know anything about him even though he puts up the numbers. I'm good with that though. I grabbed this up for $2.13/shipped.
