I snagged this 2005 ESPN card of Mark Teixiera on Listia for just 8 credits. I don’t know how ESPN got into the card business, but they got out of it pretty quickly. Upper Deck produced these cards, but the ESPN logo is a lot bigger than the Upper Deck logo. Teixiera is currently a Yankee but was a Ranger back in 2005. That was before he became a very rich man. Tex is currently on the shelf with an injury for the Yankees. The Yankees miss him, but Lyle Overbay has been a decent replacement.
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.
