eBay Mailbag: John Lackey

My latest EBay purchase is a 2006 Allen & Ginter card of John Lackey.  It cost me 6 cents shipped.  This card is technically a short print.  That really doesn’t impress me since I don’t collect short prints.  But, in 2006 that would be a big deal.  In 2006, this card would probably sell for $6 instead of 6 cents.  However, in 2012 this card is reduced to a mere common card.  And, John Lackey has been reduced to an injury-prone bum.  He is also a Red Sox now so that’s another strike against him.
