Florida Marlins eBay Lot

 I picked up a lot of 20 Florida Marlins cards on eBay for 99 cents.  I picked up the lot because it contained a bunch of parallel cards.  That Hanley Ramirez Refractor is my favorite.  I also like that Cognac Josh Johnson card.  Sure it looks like puke, but it’s really not.  How many packs would I need to buy to get all of those parallels and rookie cards.  Not bad for five cents a card.

2009 Topps Silk: Emilio Bonifacio

I purchased another 2009 Topps Silk card off of eBay. This one is an Emilio Bonifacio card #ed 25/50. I paid $2.49 including shipping which I think is pretty cheap. I know this isn't exactly a Albert Pujols card but still, it's a numbered Silk card for only a couple of bucks. Bonifacio is currently a speedster with the Marlins organization. He played a handful of big league games earlier in the year although he is currently with AAA New Orleans. I really like the design of the Topps Silk cards, but I don’t understand why the backs of these cards are blank. Oh well, they are still cool cards. I should start buying some 2010 Silk cards.

eBay Mailbag: Florida Marlins

I recently spent 25 cents for 5 Marlins commons on eBay. I like making these small purchases on eBay. I can get a nice package without breaking the bank. I got an Upper Deck First Edition card of Andrew Miller. What ever happened to him? Wasn't he supposed to be the next great thing? I got another A&G card. This time it's a Dan Uggla card. I love the A&G design. I'm tempted to buy a box of A&G this year. Finally, I received three 2010 Topps cards of Marlins pitchers. Josh Johnson is pretty much the ace of the staff. But everybody has said good things about Ricky Nolasco this year. Matt Lindstrom is now closing games for the Astros. He's also on my fantasy team. So far so good. This kind of purchase is really a stop-gap until I can get to a card show. eBay is great (We can argue this in another post) but there's nothing like buying cards in person.
