More Alex Rodriguez Cards
OK, so here is ARod lot number
two. This lot also cost me $1.04 shipped
from the same eBay seller as the previous lot.
I received a total 16 cards in this lot.
I think my favorite card out of this lot is the Allen & Ginter. It is one of the few cards showing ARod in a
Yankee uniform. And I just like Allen
& Ginter.

An Addition to My Alex Rodriguez Collection

eBay Mailbag: Grady Sizemore
My latest eBay auction win was a lot of 8 Grady Sizemore cards. I paid a total of 49 cents shipped for the entire lot. For the record, it cost $1.95 to ship the package. I think my favorite card of the lot is the Allen & Ginter. Perhaps this lot was cheap because Sizemore does not play much. The oft-injured Sizemore has not played a full season since 2008. He has been on the DL with back problems since the beginning of the 2012 season. He is a talent but is so prone to injuries.

My First Gypsy Queen Card
My latest eBay purchase as a 2012 Gypsy Queen
card of John Axford. I paid 6 cents
shipped for the card. This is my first
card of Axford and my first Gypsy Queen card.
I like the overall card design and the fact that the card lacks a glossy
finish. Gypsy Queen seems to have plenty
of parallels which is a plus. However,
I’m not sure that I would shell out the $100-$110 that hobby boxes go for on
eBay. The cards are nice but they are
not that nice. I would prefer to just
buy and trade individual cards. Axford
has a bloated ERA so far, but he has saved 6 games. In fact, he just blew his first save in 50
tries. I have a warm spot in my heart
for closers. I have won at least one
fantasy league because of my closers.

eBay Mailbag: 2011 Topps Lineage
I recently purchased a lot of 5
2011 Topps Lineage cards on eBay for 32 cents shipped. All of the cards featured Detroit
Tigers. I received 2 Victor Martinez
cards, 2 Austin Jackson cards, and 1 Al Kaline card I don’t have too many Lineage cards, so I
picked up a few at a decent price. By
the way, Dave & Adam’s Card World sells a pack of 8 cards for $3.25.
