Alrighty, jumping back into the pool with something easy to post about. This is becoming a pretty regular feature here on the blog. Recent auction wins! I'm a bit of a bargain hunter when it comes to ebay auctions but I also don't usually buy super popular cards either. I also have the good fortune of working at a place where I have internet access all day so bidding on an auction at 10am on a Tuesday morning isn't really a problem. I can peruse ebay all day long but can not read my personal email (stupid firewalls). Looks like I'm rambling again. Here's the cards:
Here's my first Nolan Reimold card that I won. It's a Blue Refractor '05 Bowman Chrome Draft picks numbered 140/150. Man I hope this guy stays healthy this year. I know he could hit 25 to 30 homers if he did. He'd be able to replace Mark Reynolds' power and strike out a lot less.
This black beauty is from 2010 Topps Heritage. The Black Refractors are pretty awesome I think. I really hope Nick stays healthy this year too. Injuries haven't really been a concern for Nick the Stick during his career so I think last year was a fluke. Let's just keep Captain Cheesburger's fastballs away from the wrists. BTW, this one is lucky-numbered 7/61.
The next Nick that won was this 2011 Topps Chrome Red Refractor numbered 2/25. I own about eleventy billion different versions of this card through flagship, Chrome, and Opening Day. I think the only version I'm missing is the rack pack exclusive un-numbered Orange Refractor. How does that happen?
The final card that I'm showing off today is a 2009 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor of Nolan #d 42/50. Not a whole lot left to say about Nolan in this post. Just stay healthy. *fingers crossed*
Here's my winnings from Listia over the last few weeks:
Oh right, I didn't win anything because I refuse to pay 1000 credits (approx $10-12) for a stack of late 80's commons. The credits required to win a couple of Cal Ripken cards got way out of hand in my opinion so I refused to bid. There seems to be more and more sellers starting to charge for shipping too. No way am I handing over 2000 credits and 2 dollars shipping for a relatively plentiful mid-90's insert of Cal, no sir! My patience with Listia is running thin, so when I finally spend the rest of my credits I'm closing my account.
See, I told you that I can put pictures on a post! Hope you enjoyed the cards as much as I do. Thanks for reading!
