Recent Pick Ups

Had a couple recent auction wins come in and another eBay purchase.

Here are my newest pick ups.  Two lots from the recent Sterling Sports Auctions.  The first lot was this sweet little double card pleasure.

First of the two is this 1910 e93 Standard Caramel of Davy Jones.  This is a dupe for me so either this one or the one I already have will hopefully be traded for an e93 common that I still need.  Let me know if you want to trade.  🙂

 

The second one is this 1910 e98 Anonymous Set of 30 card of Bill Dahlen.  This one is in sweet shape I must say.    Oh well, at least it checks one of the wantlist.

 

 





The next lot that I won was actually a really nice looking card except that it has writing on the back where someone checked off the cards they collected from the checklist. 

This is another 1910 e98 of the Larry McLean variety. 

 

I was surprised I won both of these lots for the winning amounts.  The McLean is not for trade or sale, but the Dahlen could be pried from my collection with the right offer. 

 

The last recent pick up is another sweet Mark Teixeira game used auto.  This one a 2005 Upper Deck Trilogy bat/jersey auto numbered to 75.

 

 

I really enjoy adding these to my collection.  Some sellers ask crazy prices for these Teixeira cards, but you can find really nice ones for very affordable prices.  I just wait for a good deal and jump on it.

 

So those are my newest pick ups folks.  I hope you like them as much as I do.

 

Enjoy the hobby all...it's a great one.



Mail Day...Again

I received several more packages in the mail today.

So I have been on a little buying spree lately and today was a good day at the mailbox.

First up is this quad relic Teixeira.

 

This is a 2007 UD Premier Remnants Quad Jersey.

 

I have another one of these that says MARK instead of 1B23 so it's cool to get another one that is a little different.  This card came not in a toploader, but in a penny sleeve between two pieces of cardboard.  Really?  Not even a toploader?  Oh well, at least it arrived safely.

 

Next up is an auto/jersey card of Teixeira.

 

 

This one is a 2003 SPx Young Stars.  I am a big fan of the auto/relic cards so it's nice to get another one.  This is numbered to 1295. It did come in a toploader.

 

Next is what?  Yes, another auto/jersey card of Teixeira.

 

 

This one is a 2004 Upper Deck SPX Swatch Supremacy and is numbered to 999. 

 

Next is a nice prewar pick up.

 

 

Another E98 HOFer in the form of a Johnny Evers PSA 1(MK).  Obviously the MK qualifier is for the W.G. stamped on the front and the star that was scratched into it as well.  I don't care about those things though.  I'm just glad to have it. 

 

I also received the following three cards in one puffy.

 

 

These are 1934-36 Batter Ups.  Nice poor condition ones like I like 'em. 

 

So that was my mail day today.  Not bad huh?  It's nice getting mail. 

 

Enjoy the hobby all...it's a great one.

Mail Day

I got a couple nice cards in the mail yesterday.

First off I don't collect much modern stuff, but if you follow my blog you'll know that I do collect some game used and/or auto cards.  I just like the look of them and so I pick them up now and then. 

I also mostly collect these cards of Mark Teixeira.  I liked him when he started with the Rangers and then followed him all the way to the Yankees.  I pick up mostly his game used and autos but also those of other HOFers from my youth in the 80's. 

Well, these two that arrived yesterday are two Mark Teixeira cards. 

 

This is a 2004 SP Game Used Patch Premium numbered to 50.  I like the look of the patch on this card and the overall design of the card is nice.  The picture they used of Mark could've been a better choice instead of him looking away but whatever.

 

Next up is an auto/game used that I am really fond of.

 

 





This one is a 2004 UD Ultimate Collection Game Materials Signatures also numbered to 50. I like the colors and design on this one too.  And the signature is nice and clean.  The swatch is just a plain white swatch but I can live with that. 

As one of my collecting friends always says, collect what you like. 

Enjoy the hobby all...it's a great one.
