Soccer? NO WAY I don't hit women

In my Ebay shopping I picked up a trio of A&G cards two USA Women's Soccer Champs and one Supernanny? I've been meaning to pick up some USA Women's Soccer cards for ages and ages now. So What did I get? From one dealer I got 3 cards at BIN prices shipping was $2.49 combined. Individually shipping would be $2.49 each. I am so glad many sellers allow for combined shipping and you can "Ask seller for total" before you finish the checking out completely. OK so in reverse order of preference I got:

First I got the Supernanny Jo Frost. I'm not a reality TV lover in fact I usually shout and complain about the entire genre of reality TV, but it has been here for several years and looks to have a permanent hold in the universe of television. I eventually need to get the rest of the base set so it was a set need.

Next the first of two of America's Sweethearts of the Soccer Gridiron Brandi Chastain. What you don't remember her? Maybe if she takes off her jersey...
OK NOW you remember her!

Third comes the sweetest sweetheart of the World Cup Champion USA team Mia Hamm. The poster girl for the team for several years.

My Loot from the Shoebox Draft

I mentioned a post or two ago that I had received cards from a card draft held by Shoebox Shane. I think all the other participants have shown their share of the collector's booty from his draft. Some of these cards I will mention in greater detail (and probably show their backsides as well) but later, and for the Nationals cards those will eventually show up at my Curly W Cards Blog. For now I will simply list and show, show and list. EEK I'm Listing? How on Earth will I ever straighten up?
