I recently picked up this lot of Addison Reed cards on eBay for only 6 cents with free shipping. The lot included 4 2012 Bowman cards and 1 2012 Bowman Chrome card. I am not an Addison Reed or White Sox fan but the price is certainly right. Reed is the closer for the White Sox, or at least he was last year. Closing pitchers tend to change frequently on many teams. I have a soft spot for closers. I think that is because I use so many of them on my fantasy teams. A pitcher can go from worthless to fantasy gold just by moving from the 8th inning to the 9th inning. And I am usually desperate enough to chase these pitchers.
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.
Hmmm....1.2 cents per card. Might have overpaid.
