Opening Day Bargain

I picked up this 2013 Topps Opening Day card of Albert Pujols for just 15 credits on Listia.  That’s not bad for a Pujols card.  I know it’s Opening Day, but still.  Viva Opening Day!

Random Cheap Cards on eBay

I picked up a lot of 20 baseball cards on eBay for only 42 cents shipped.  There is really no common theme to this lot, but the price was certainly very cheap.  These cards were not junk wax and contained several stars, including Albert Pujols.  The lone Pujols card was probably worth 42 cents.  Also included were card of Hideki Matsui, BJ Upton, Mike Piazza, Torii Hunter, Greg Maddux, and Vladimir Guerrero. 

White Plains Card Show: Part 4

I spent quite a bit of time cherry picking a 3/$1 box at the White Plains Card Show.  I did so until my neck started to hurt.  The end result was 8 Albert Pujols cards and a Derek Jeter card to round out the lot.  Here is the loot.   

Flea Market Finds

So I made another trip to the local flea market this past weekend because I have no life. I walked away with some decent baseball cards though. I bought 22 Alex Rodriguez cards and 6 Albert Pujols cards for a grand total of $3.00. I can’t complain about a deal like that. The cards are mostly base cards but they are in great condition. Most came in top loaders and penny sleeves for some reason. I notice that most baseball cards at flea markets are junk wax with rubber bands around them. These vendors should save themselves the embarrassment and just set fire to these cards.

My First Albert Pujols Lot

I purchased a lot of 12 Albert Pujols cards for about six bucks on eBay. It’s not that I collect Pujols cards or anything. Maybe I should though. The guy is a true superstar after all. I just realized that my collection lacks Pujols cards. I probably tripled my Pujols stash with this purchase. There are some neat cards in here. I got a 2010 Topps 206 base and bronze card. I think those are my favorites. Pujols cards seem to go for about 40-60 cents each on eBay. He is one of the most popular players amongst collectors so this is no surprise. I like buying these player lots because you never know what you will find. Every now and then you will find an unusual card or a parallel or insert. I probably will not become a Pujols collector, but I will continue to buy player lots just because they can be just as fun as opening a pack of cards.
