2008 Upper Deck Pickups

I bought 2 2008 Upper Deck cards on eBay of two of the worst pitchers in New York: Daisuke Matsuzaka and Phil Hughes.  Both pitchers have gone from the penthouse to the outhouse.  The Red Sox paid over $100 million for Dice-K.  He spent most of the year in the minors for the Indians and Mets.  Hughes has been terrible this year.  He has been relegated to the bullpen.  I doubt that the Yankees will re-sign him this winter.  So I figured that both cards couldn’t be worth less than they are right now. 

Remember Dice-K?

I picked up this Starquest insert of Daisuke Matsuzaka on eBay for 10 cents.  It’s not much of an insert since these came one to each pack.  This is a common rather than an uncommon or rare.  Matsuzaka’s contract was certain rare when he came to the states.  However, he has gone from the $51 million man to a AAA pitcher for the Indians.  By the way, he is 2-6 so far this year.  In short, he stinks.
