Card of the Day - 2003 Topps Traded : James Loney Signature Moves Autograph

I recently finally acquired the crime dog's (Fred McGriff) autograph and now I finally reacquired the lone dog's autograph.

I have met James a couple of times and had acquired his autograph on a ball but that was sold during the ball purge and for some reason I had forgotten to reacquire his autograph for my collection.

I would have preferred to have his autograph represented on some chrome whether it had been Bowman or Topps but every single time I went looking for said card(s) the price was too high for this former Dodger. We are talking $7+ and that is before S/H was factored in. Surprisingly I couldn't find a copy from a fellow blogger who was willing to trade so I had to sit and wait.

Even though this is not a chrome card, it is an on card autograph which trumps the chrome need. Price was good so the purchase was guilt free. Welcome back James.

Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

Trade with Dr. Liu Part 7 also Photo of the Day - James Loney Signed 8 x 10

The first silver ink autograph makes an appearance in the Dr. Liu trade.

Former Dodger first baseman James Loney is presented in this great action pose with him at the plate. I assume he got a hit.
= )

I am still looking for an on card autograph of James but till then I now have this nice photo of him in happier times with the Dodgers. Autograph is in crisp silver ink and really pops.

Card of the Day - 2013 Heritage : Matt Kemp SP Action Variant . . . Plus Some Random Bonus Cards

So the second package comes of the day comes in and in it is the Matt Kemp High Numbered SP from this years Topps Heritage Set. But considering Heritage's numerous variations I am on the hunt for each one and this is the "Action" variant.

I picked this up for just $2 on eBay. The buyer didn't send the card out for a few days after the end of the auction and sent me an email to tell me he was sorry so he threw in some bonus cards. They are from PRIZM and for me the are nothing special as there are no Dodgers and the cards are not licensed by MLB but just the players association. I'm not a fan of cards with no team logos on them. Just my thing. If anyone is interested in them I am willing to trade. All of them are stars.

Matt Kemp SP Action Variation

Josh Hamilton, James Loney, Frank Thomas, Adrian Beltre and Curtis Granderson

All from PRIZM. All available for trade.
