My latest Listia purchase is a 2011 Topps Diamond Anniversary card of Miguel Olivo. I think I paid a total of 21 credits for this. I bought the card because it is a parallel. Olivo has always been a starting catcher on a bad team or a backup catcher on a good team. He has been a journeyman. Since 2002, he has been on 6 different teams. This year, he is a starting catcher on a bad Mariners team. But the Mariners are always bad.
I have been a New York Yankees fan for my entire life. I have collected baseball cards for over 20 years. I did take a brief hiatus from 1996 to 2004. Nine years is brief, right? I prefer cards made after 2004. I also prefer cards that measure 2.5 in. by 3.5 in. I also have a thing against baseball cards that don't feature a baseball player. I collect all teams and players, even the Red Sox.
