I picked up a pair of 2012 Bowman Chrome cards on eBay recently. I paid a total of 12 cents shipped for everything. The cards are Salvador Perez and Kevin Youkilis. I wanted the Perez card more than the Youkilis. I really didn’t have any Perez cards except for one that was dinged up. I don’t really buy much of the Bowman products, but these are some nice cards. I don’t actively seek out Youkilis cards, but whatever. And Youkilis was a Yankee for a brief moment.
I recently won a laptop case (one of those fancy rolling ones with the telescoping handle you see guys in suits dragging around in airports). It was a nice one, a Kensington that retails around $140. The guy was selling it used for five bucks plus 99 cents shipping. I won with my opening bid and a week later it arrived in a huge cardboard box. The shipping label showed he spent over $17 just in shipping. I felt kind of bad. Thankfully your seller didn't lose too much.
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.
Poor guy lost money mailing that thing to you.

Don't feel bad. That's a nice find.
