Listia Mailbag: Eric Chavez

I picked up this 2007 Bowman Heritage game-used jersey card of Eric Chavez on Listia recently.  It cost me about 1,000 credits.  It has a couple of minor imperfections, but it's a really nice card.  Chavez is best known as an Athletic.  He retired as a Diamondback last year.  He also spent a couple of years with the Yankees.

Pack Break: 2014 Topps Jumbo Pack

I popped open a jumbo pack of 2014 Topps Series 1 over the weekend.  It was a decent pack with plenty of parallels and inserts.  The Mariano card has got to be the best card in the pack.  Here are the highlights.

 

Yu Darvish
Junior Lake
Carlos Villanueva







Lee Smith
Mike Carp
Ryan Howard




Mariano Rivera
Mike Trout
Manny Machado

U-S-A...U-S-A

I picked up a jersey card of Cody Satterwhite on Listia for about 700 credits.  This is a Team USA issue from Upper Deck.  Satterwhite is now a prospect in the Mets minor league system.  I'll be impressed when he hits the bigs.  I'm not a big fan of the Team USA cards.  It seems like most of the players turn out to be duds.  My favorite Team USA card has got to be the 1985 Topps Mark McGwire rookie card.  That was a cool card.
