Time does fly when you get old. With it being the weekend, here comes another installment of ListiaMania.<br />
<br />
Basically, I run down all the cards I got off Listia from the past week, my thoughts on them, why got them and things of that nature. A few caveats though, I'm still on my scanning embargo, so cards I received that need scanning will be saved for a later date. Also an update on the new scanner, it's in at Wal-Mart, all I have to do is go pick it up and there is no way in hell I'm stepping foot in that store on the weekend, especially in December.<br />
<br />
Lets get started, shall we?...<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Adam Jones, 2012 Topps Chrome</b></i> - I am a fan of Adam Jones, so I've been flirting with starting to collect his cards, then just not doing it, until I see them. I saw this one and got it. 984 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Adam Jones and Angel Pagan, 2011 Topps Heritage</b></i> - This Heritage set pops up again. With me winding down 2014 Heritage, 2011 is in my sights, but I could not find a single blaster on eBay. This set may be tougher than I thought. Jones was 1,008 points and Pagan was 262 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Adam Wainwright, 2011 Topps Lineage</b></i> - I went off on the Lineage set last week, this week I will refrain. It's Cardinal card I didn't have. 1,237 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Joe Torre, 1993 Ted Williams</b></i> - I will always forever have a soft spot for 1993 Ted Williams. In a time when sports cards were either plain and boring or gaudy looking, 1993 Ted Williams looked classy. This set is awesome, I wish I had more. 606 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1548/1548-178Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1548/1548-178Fr.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Manny Ramirez, 2002 Fleer Platinum</b></i> - I like this set solely for the 1987 Fleer design. 984 Points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Manny Ramirez, 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces </i></b>- I went gushing over this set last week, so I won't do it again. But I do love these cards. 565 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Ozzie Smith, 1988 K-Mart</i></b> - This came in a two card lot with a 1986 Topps All-Star card of Ozzie, which I already have two of. This card I did not have, which is why I wanted to win the auction. The '86 All-Star card is in much better shape than the K-Mart card, so I'm already looking for a replacement. lol 1,014 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now, the card of the week...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/10590/10590-US85aFr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/10590/10590-US85aFr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Starlin Castro, 2010 Topps Update</b></i> rookie card - If I wasn't on a scanning embargo, this wouldn't be my pick, but alas I am, so it is. It's probably the best card I got all week, which is why I picked it. 808 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks for reading, everyone. But before you go, looking ahead to next week, I may do two entries, one on my new scanner and one for sure on 2003 Upper Deck Vintage. A bought a quasi box of them on Black Friday and I will share my thoughts on them as I tore through the entire box in a day. So much for savoring them. lol So, watch this space.</div>

Some of the stuff that came in were baseball cards, most of which, I can't show off because I'm not scanning anything until my new scanner arrives, which Wal-Mart tells me will be sometime next week. That kinda sucks because I got my latest COMC order today and there is a bunch there that needs to be scanned.<br />
<br />
But here are a few highlights of what I can show from my latest COMC order...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/331/331-1Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/331/331-1Fr.jpg" height="320" width="224" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/331/331-4Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/331/331-4Fr.jpg" height="320" width="233" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>1994 Donruss Special Edition Gold</b></i> - The final five cards I needed to complete the set, people are probably screaming that I should have bought these elsewhere. COMC was the cheapest after crunching numbers and figuring in Sportlots shipping. Now with these cards in the books, 1994 Donruss Special Edition Gold is dunzo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/105418/105418-15206891Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/105418/105418-15206891Fr.jpg" height="320" width="224" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/105418/105418-15206893Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/105418/105418-15206893Fr.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>2015 Topps Archetypes</b></i> - These two were missing from my set McGwire and some shortstop who played for the Orioles, no idea what his name is. So, 2015 Topps Archetypes is dunzo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/449/449-34Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/449/449-34Fr.jpg" height="320" width="233" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/449/449-37Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/449/449-37Fr.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>1994 Upper Deck</b></i> - Usually commons on COMC is a major no-no, but either these cards were scarce on Sportslots or the shipping was too much, so it just made sense to pay the extra ten cents to finish up the set. And now I can gladly say, one of my all-time favorite sets is dunzo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/84424/84424-9706792Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/84424/84424-9706792Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Yasiel Puig, 2014 Topps Heritage short print</b></i> - Much like other sets, short prints I won't really go after, unless it's a Cardinal or a player I like. Puig falls into the "like" category and for this being only $1.50 during COMC's Black Friday sale, I jumped. Jumped hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>2014 Topps Heritage short prints</b></i> - A few more short prints from 2014 Heritage, this time both Cardinals. I'm still about 25 cards away from completing the set, that doesn't include the short prints or high numbers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Moving away from COMC, to other things...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ozzie Smith, 2005 Upper Deck Classics - </b></i>Now this came from a lot of 20 cards from the set on eBay, it was $2 shipped, I strictly wanted it for the Ozzie. I had been watching it for weeks and a few repostings, then I finally bit the bullet. Now, something I did not know, that the scan is missing, this card is actually serial number out of /200. The numbering is on the front of the card, right by the foot. This scan is missing it, which is odd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, before this blog starts to kick rocks, I mentioned I'm done with 1994 Upper Deck, finally completed. So I've moved on to another Upper Deck. Two more actually. 1991 and 1990. Both boxes were $10 on eBay with free shipping, so that's good. 1990 Upper Deck, I don't have too much of, 1991 UD I have a solid amount of, hopefully I'll be able to finish the low-numbers with relative ease.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've opened up a few packs of 1991 Upper Deck, it came in the mail today and I forgot...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/94496/94496-9890782Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/94496/94496-9890782Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Team holograms in every pack! lol I haven't got a Cardinals one yet, just White Sox and American League. I'd rather have a hologram than a stick of gum, especially after 25 years. But, my joy came from opening the second pack I opened and the last card of said pack...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/171/171-SP1Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/171/171-SP1Fr.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>
Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Nowadays, it's not a very special card, but back in the day, it was. I will say, I got excited when I saw it, I wasn't expecting it, mostly because I forgot about it. Yes, a relic from the over-produced "junk-era" cards, but I'll gladly welcome it into my collection, just like all the cards from this box of 1991 Upper Deck.<br />
<br />
<br />
....Except the doubles, they can f*ck off. lol<br />
<br />
Come back this weekend for ListiaMania whatever Roman numeral. So far, nine cards have come in, so it looks like a packed weekend.<br />

Last week was rather short and because of my scanning embargo, not all that exciting. This week is different though, a lot of cards came in and I've decided to postpone talking about the cards with no picture and show them at a later date,<br />
<br />
Also doing some cleanup here at the start, hope everyone had an exciting Thanksgiving. Mine wasn't all that bad, ate, went home, passed out and then ate more. 'Murica! Then Black Friday, I did my part as a consumer and spent, most of that was already done though since I got Best Buy's TV deal a full two weeks earlier than BF (suckers!). Also a good amount of baseball cards were bought, some will get spotlighted here in a "It Came from eBay!" entry, by the way, that's suppose to sound spooky - like from the 50's horror movies.<br />
<br />
Alright, enough yapping, onto the festivities...<br />

Jaime Garcia, 2011 Topps Lineage - I really didn't get the point of Topps Lineage, other than Topps wanting to bloat their market share further in a product that straddles the appeal in older collectors and new alike, they did that much better with the re-launch a year later of Topps Archives, it still isn't perfect though. Why am I rambling about this? It's a Cardinal card I didn't have and was only 250 points.</div>

<i><b>2013 Gypsy Queen Singles </b></i>- Nope not a lot, all four separately. Around the horn, Don Sutton, Andrew McCutchen, Duke Snider and Fergie Jenkins. Going for the set and these four were MIA. Point wise, the Dodger players were cheap around 557 for Sutton and 757 for Snider, then McCuthen was 1,269 and Fergie topped out at 1,510 points.</div>

<i><b>Albert Pujols, 2013 Pinnacle - </b></i>My stance on Pujols has drastically withered this year, before it was indifference, now it's at somewhere looking fondly back and whatever is after indifference. lol 350 points.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Sami Zayn, 2014 Topps WWE NXT Prospects</b></i> - Yes, the wrestling fan strikes out yet again, this time nabbing a Sami Zayn "rookie card." Sami is amazing. If you're a wrestling fan and have yet to see Sami wrestle, well you're a bad wrestling fan. Shame on you!</div>

<i><b>Jayson Heyward, 2013 Topps Chrome Connections Die Cuts</b></i> - Ah yes, the return of my mortal enemy! These monstrosity of die cuts. They look like utter sh*t, but I want them all. Not the set, I want every one of these in existence, After I get every one, I'm going to burn them. 2,795 points.</div>

<i><b>Yadier Molina, 2014 Stadium Club</b></i> - And a Yadi sneaks in just before closing! Could an Ozzie be around the corner? (spoiler: No.) I like the fact that Topps uses unique pictures for Stadium Club, instead of recycling the same pictures that they use for the flagship, Gypsy Queen, Heritage and A&G. 2,242 points.</div>
<br />
And now, my Listia card of the week...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Stan Musial short print, 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces </b></i>- An all-time Cardinal great and a set that I like a lot. I wish I could jump right in and start working on this set, can't justify it yet though. So close to finishing both 2014 Heritage and 2013 Gypsy Queen, maybe after those two are done this will be in my sights. The artwork is great as is the card stock. Top notch work from Upper Deck.</div>
<br />
So there we have it, these week in the books. A damn fine week if I don't say so myself.<br />
<br />
Looking ahead to Wednesday's entry...It all depends on what comes in the mail between now and then, much like everything my blog revolves around. lolShoTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07798102774115668849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295739483394125148.post-88057445901339918692015-11-22T15:01:00.000-08:002015-11-22T15:01:25.012-08:00ListiaMania V and Holidays - Not Matt HollidayWelcome to this week's installment of what cards I got off of Listia, a short porch this time around, only a few cards. I'm not really sure why, I haven't really slowed down. I'll blame it on the USPS being bogged down this time of year. With all that said, let's start...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Alfonso Soriano, 2010 Topps Chrome</b></i>. Um, no picture because the Trading Card Database currently does not have one for it and I am on a scanning embargo, until I get a new one. As for the card, a sucker for Chrome cards if they're cheap. 200 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/52967/52967-332Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/52967/52967-332Fr.jpg" height="320" width="232" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Alcides Escobar, 2011 Topps Heritage</b></i>. Still not full tilt all the way on with this set, but if the chance for me to get a card arises, I won't pass it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/8515/8515-158Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/8515/8515-158Fr.jpg" height="320" width="233" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chris Carpenter, 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes. Growing up, I always liked the look of the Baseball Heroes inserts, reminiscent of the 1959 Topps set, sans the Christmas light colors. 299 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1999/1999-384581Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1999/1999-384581Fr.jpg" height="320" width="231" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Jim Edmonds, 2007 Upper Deck. </b></i>I usually don't like going after flagship cards until I'm ready to start the set, but I don't see me starting this one anytime within the next decade, so yeah. Plus it's Edmonds. 299 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Albert Pujols, 2002 Topps Chrome</b></i>. Another sans picture because of my embargo, but it's a pretty card, take my word for it. 5,050 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now, drum-roll please, the card of the week from my Listia haul...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/76971/76971-CTC-15Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/76971/76971-CTC-15Fr.jpg" height="320" width="231" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dustin Pedroia, 2013 Topps Cut to the Chase. It would have been the Pujols, but it doesn't have a picture, so it can jog on, not that this card isn't worthy - I'm a Cardinals fan, what would you expect? This is a set I'm trying to complete, 8 out of the 48 I have. So, some progress is being made.3,000 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
------------------------------------</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was suppose to be posted a day earlier, but not a dollar short, except for the fact my power was knocked out yet again all morning and afternoon following a small snow storm. Twice in a week and a half the power was out for multiple hours. Not fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways, more stuff...The last time, I mentioned my newly acquired 2015 Gypsy Queen Mini Red Ozzie Smith, this came in the mail the other day...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/79278/79278-315Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/79278/79278-315Fr.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ozzie Smith, 2013 Topps Gypsy Queen Mini Black #'d/199. </b></i>A sexy looking card (not my scan though). I saw the lot on eBay and since I don't really go over a certain price on lots and loose cards, it was probably no more then $5. It was a five card 2013 Mini Black lot, with two other "who cares?" players and a Yeonis Cespedes (no scan, sorry). Killed two birds with one stone there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looking ahead to next week and ListiaMania VI, I expect another short porch, because well it's a short porch week. lol Even though I do have two pages of um-received, so who knows.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before that though, we have three holidays in a row. Thanksgiving, Black Firday it's a f*cking holiday now, don't even try to deny it. But what's the third?...Oh yeah....It's my flippin' birthday the day before Thanksgiving. lol My birthday should totally be a national holiday. I mean it would be next year if stupid leap year didn't happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Honestly though, you know how much it sucks having my birthday fall on Thanksgiving is? It's not fun. It's happened a few times, once every seven years. At least twice in my adult hood. I just want to be left alone to my own devices and I love my family. I'm just not one to go crazy with my birthday, in fact, I like to be left alone and be it business as usual. I'm pretty straight edge (I hate that term), I don't drink so I'm not going to go out and get drunk and party my d*ck off.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A night in with my significant other, pizza delivered - because I'm not cooking on MY birthday lol, Then maybe some Fallout 4 when she goes to sleep. Now that sounds like a nice day.</div>

...Wow, was that f*cking lame or what? lol<br />
<br />
I recently passed 35,000 cards in my collection and the 2015Topps Chrome Trout was what did it. Pretty cool. It came out of the Angels/Dodgers lot I bought off eBay last week. Three great lots (I got a Cardinals one the week before) from the same seller. I just need to find boxes to put these three huge stacks of cards now...<br />
<br />
Speaking of eBay, something I want to mention while it's still fresh, but I was going to wait until a counterpart of it also arrived, but it's coming from Canada, so it may take longer, but anyways, nabbed this off eBay...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ozzie Smith, 2015 Gypsy Queen Mini Red #'d 9/50.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kinda pretty, huh? Mini's don't really do much for me, but like anything, there are exceptions and Ozzie is that exception and at only $4 shipped, it's a good exception.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, before I go, I just want to say...My scanner sucks, I know this. Next week, hopefully getting a new one, with some Black Friday deal going around, get a decent one that doesn't wash my scans out. So yeah...I won't be scanning anything for a week, not that I have much coming in, although there is a sizable stack from the Angels/Dodgers lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's pretty much all I have to say, keep it short and sweet huh? ListiaMania V this weekend, which could be very quiet because only 4 cards have come in. So, that could be boring. lol</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Albert Pujols, 2013 Bowman Platinum </b></i>- My stance on Pujols has soften greatly over the past four years, I still think his contract was a money grab, but you can't blame a person for that. Plus he went to the Angels, the Angels are a perennial third place team, even more so now being behind the Texas Rangers and the Astros. 1,010 Points.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Albert Pujols, 2010 Topps Logoman</b></i> - These cards were for HTA stores and apparently are hard to find/get, I have no idea, but they were made to celebrate Topps' getting of the exclusive MLB License. 2,499 points.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><b>Nate Schierholtz, 2007 Topps Rookie 1952 Edition Chrome</b></i> - Topps Heritage Chrome and the like are like "take my money all day long" I don't have many though, but I like them. 2,323 points.<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
When looking through these listings, you learn a lot of things, most importantly - two things really - people vastly over value cards or have no idea what they have.<br />
<br />
As I'm typing this now, I'm looking at listings that were newly listed under the Cardinals lot search and this popped up...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A three card lot of Ozzie Smith relics, a little over $5 a card and most importantly, Free Shipping. While I do enjoy a good relic card, the price is too much for my blood.<br />

Then you have old cards like these above. Dirt cheap (shipping is$2.50). I'm really not into the vintage phase, I'm sure I'll get there at some point in my collecting lifetime, but I still like shiny things and am easily distracted, so these don't really do it for me. Plus I know these will go for much higher than a quarter. The condition of the cards are terrible, by the way, I have much worse looking old cards in my collection than these.<br />

This lot was fantastic. 221 cards, mostly cards from 2015, it included sets that I hadn't bought like Diamond Kings, Finest, Allen & Ginter just to name a few.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Out of the lot, I counted about 41 doubles I had, which for a Cardinals collector isn't too bad. About 181 fresh cards, and I'm going to show a few of them off...Lets start with the oldest...</div>

So, in the middle of writing this entry, a huge windstorm started here in the Midwest and I was without power for roughly 14 hours and it basically took all the excitement I had writing this. lol if that makes sense.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In summary of the lot, it was awesome, I went back to the eBay seller and bought two more off of him, this time Dodgers and Angels and to help bolster my Puig, Trout and Pujols collections. Between the three lots, over 600 cards for about $23, that's roughly the price of a blaster with about 10x as many cards.</div>

And to top off this weird entry, I finally bought me a new TV after weeks of not having one. Best Buy had a preview of their Black Friday sale yesterday online, so I nabbed a 40 inch for $150 which was right in my price range. I will get it on Friday, I had the option to pick it up Saturday at my local Best Buy or sent by UPS and get Friday, so a day early sounded good to me.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Chris Carpenter, 2010 Bowman Chrome Refractor. </b></i>God my scan of this card sucks badly, I don't know what it is, its all washed out. My scans are either really good or washed out to f*ck. Ugh. Great looking card though for 499.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Mike Piazza, 1994 Donruss MVP. </b></i>I have five copies of this card now. Um, for trade bait, even though I've never actually traded one. Don't use logic with me. 560 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ozzie Smith, 1985 Topps Tiffany.</b></i> You can't tell by the picture, you have to tell by the glossy in person (or touch). With online auctions, I'm always weary of going after Tiffany cards, because if you've seen as many eBay auctions as I have where people got everything wrong, you'd understand. But I digress, a parallel to a card I already have. Ha! 3 out of the first 4 cards, I already have or a counterpart of. What the hell? 2,999 points.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Chris Carpenter, 2011 Gypsy Queen.</b></i> The first year Topps started with Gypsy Queen and in my opinion, the best looking of all the sets (says the guy with 2 cards out of it - Hey, you shut up now). 503 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Chris Carpenter, 2012 Topps Archives.</b></i> I like the idea of the Archives cards, but outside of a blaster box, they're too expensive some $200 for a hobby box? Wow. I'll stick with just the Cardinal cards and the handful of players I like. 299 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Michael Wacha, 2014 Donruss.</b></i> Strictly because it was a Cardinal card. Although, not really because I don't see any birds. 499 points.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Fernando Valenzuela, 2015 Gypsy Queen Short Print.</b></i> My philosophy on the 2015 Gypsy Queen short prints have changed radically, from a being a hippie and "Oh, man. They'll get done when they get done." to an overzealous a**hole politician "I want these motherf*ckers done now!" Which is strange, because politicians don't get anything done. Wait, where was I? Oh, short prints. I'm about 15 away, I think. 596 points.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Barry Bonds, 2003 Upper Deck Play Ball Red Backs. </b></i>I'm not really a Barry Bonds collector, but I like this card, its kind of like Topps redoing Turkey Red, although the art style here is real person, cartoon background, whereas Turkey Red is reversed. I have no idea what this significance of a red back is, in the form of this set, judging by a checklist I just looked at, a simple parallel? I don't know. 775 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I thought this week was going to be light, but 10 cards to rant about wasn't too bad. Looking ahead to next and LMIV. A card I should have already got might be here, the auction ended 2 weeks ago, a slew of Chris Carpenter cards, a few modern day Chrome cards in the '52 Topps design and a card that nearly broke my f*cking Listia bank.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

All that stuff better come, or I'm going to look like an ass (you mean a bigger ass, right?- I told you to shut it!)</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A new year, means a new release of Gypsy Queen from Topps. Since getting back into the hobby, Gypsy Queen has been my card of choice. The art/picture style is what hammers it home for me, I find it much more palatable than Topps other "old fashioned" release with Allen & Ginter who's watercolor style seems to be less appealing year after year, and I know Gypsy Queen suffers from the same draw backs that Allen & Ginter does.<br />
<br />
Taking a look at the base card first (pictured above), Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins, unsure if he'll be the poster boy, it's possible as it seems like Topps like to alternate years between retired/current players, last year was Ozzie Smith and it's sensible to think that Stanton could be the cover boy.<br />
<br />
Now for the card itself, the design I think the border takes up too much room from the card and really doesn't allow for the picture on the card to breathe at all, it's a problem that they had with 2012 and 2014 where the border just chews up too much scenery. Of course 2 things, this may not be the final product and they may look better in hand than on a monitor, so I'm talking out of my ass.<br />
<br />
350 cards in the set, 50 of them short printed. Parallels are included for 100 of the cards, all serial numbered if that's your sort of thing, they include a Purple Paper, Green Paper and a hobby only 1/1 Black Paper, which I'm sure looks very sexy.<br />

First off, want to explain a a few things, the points behind each card is basically how many points I gave for them. There are many ways to get these points, you can do stupid things on their website, post your own stuff or buy them, personally I would never buy them. A typical week, I put up three cards that I think will do marginally well, a couple thousand points, and post items on the weekend for bonus points, usually post "junk era" cards then, because they typically get no interest. Around 4,000 points equal a dollar to give some context.<br />
<br />
Long winded explanation over with, lets get into the cards... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/21720/21720-SOK6Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/21720/21720-SOK6Fr.jpg" height="224" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Chris Carpenter, 2006 Ultra Strikeout Kings.</b></i> A good looking insert set, I love the Cardinals and Ultra, so this was a no brainer. 2,242 points, a little high, but oh well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ryan Ludwick, 2010 Topps Heritage.</b></i> Not a Heritage set I'm going to go full on with, getting the Cardinal cards will satisfy me enough.101 points, my cheapest win.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/74134/74134-5552669Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/74134/74134-5552669Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Yogi Berra, 2012 Topps Gypsy Queen Framed Gold.</b></i> Going for the full 100 card set, only 97 to go. Never going to happen. 3,363 points. The seller also threw in this bonus card...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/63999/63999-4339389Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/63999/63999-4339389Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Lou Gehrig, 2012 Topps Gypsy King Hallmark Heroes.</b></i> Always cool to get a bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/829/829-1873167Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/829/829-1873167Fr.jpg" height="320" width="230" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Barry Bonds, 1996 Ultra Call to the Hall.</b></i> Another Call to the Hall insert knocked out via Listia, a set I wouldn't be opposed to finishing, they're excellent looking cards. 2,689 points, not bad at all with a card that has a $12 book value.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/91634/91634-10065774Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/91634/91634-10065774Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Yadier Molina, 2014 Topps Triple Threads. </b></i>Such a thick card (that's what she said), wow. It's Yadi, why wouldn't I get it? 2,242 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/106539/106539-2056805518Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/106539/106539-2056805518Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Giancarlo Stanton, 2015 Topps Chrome.</b></i> Just because. 202 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1122/1122-58Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1122/1122-58Fr.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ron Gant, 1998 Circa Thunder. </b></i>So, this came out of a Cardinals lot I got, the seller did a terrible job at packing the cards, 15 in total. The envelope was ripped on three of the four side, looks like it might have got stuck in a processing machine. lol Some of the cards were badly damaged, probably because of the machine and that's not a big deal, they're going into my collection, I didn't plan on trading them. The Ron Gant card piqued my interest in the lot, because it was colorful and I had no idea what it was, so I bid. Curiosity killed the cat on this one. lol 563 points, luckily not that much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1930/1930-200Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1930/1930-200Fr.jpg" height="320" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Albert Pujols, 2006 Topps. </b></i>It was also in the above stated lot, but damaged. lol<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/8177/8177-263Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/8177/8177-263Fr.jpg" height="320" width="234" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Yadier Molina, 2008 Topps Allen & Ginter. </b></i>Yadi has been my favorite Cardinal player for probably close to decade now, he's the backbone of the team, so is it unimaginable that I want every Yadi card ever made? lol 1,669 points</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now, my favorite Listia card from the week..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/9823/9823-464Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/9823/9823-464Fr.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Albert Pujols, 2010 Topps Heritage All-Star Short Print. </b></i>When I saw this card, I thought I'd watch it and would see what happened with it, I thought this was something that would draw in a lot of interest, literally only 2 bids, For comparison a few weeks ago, I put up a 2015 Topps base card of Pujols, 7 bids and over 1,000 points. So maybe this card isn't all that special or I got very lucky. Overall I like the design of the All-Star cards, with the players bursting through a newspaper, it was one of the few good things that I like with the original '61 Topps design and then the '10 Heritage. Only 2,021 points.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looking ahead to next week, Tuesday I have story about a bad morning I had, that lead to baseball cards. Thursday? No idea. Then next Saturday, ListiaMania III, looking ahead to that and what hasn't come in yet...I would say nothing spectacular, some cool things, nothing amazing though. I go for the low hanging fruit. </div>

They were got though trades, buying lots off eBay and Listia, things of that nature since I have yet to step foot in a card shop or show.<br />
<br />
Now oddballs are part of everybody's collection, you get them while eating cereal...<br />

<br />
Oddballs are a way of life while collecting, I've got my fair share of them. Some stranger than others, but the whole point of this, is I need to sort my new cards into my old cards, which I'm dreading doing.<br />
<br />
The problem with my sorting, I have no idea where anything is, I need to look in multiple boxes sometimes to find one simple thing. I used to have an index card slipped in with the box, telling me which sets are which and what's what. That didn't last long because the index cards got in the way, taping them to the top was out of the question because it would ruin the box.<br />
<br />
I'm going to toy with a new way, writing a small number on the side of the box and then making a checklist in Word of the sets in the corresponding boxes. It may take some time, but it's something that needs to be done.<br />
<br />
Join me Saturday for ListiaMania 2, where I will rundown all of my gettings from this past week. The card I was waiting for last week came in, I was very happy, will it be my Listia card of the week though? Ooh, I don't know. Something might come in tomorrow, which reminds me, I have a butt ton of stuff to mail tomorrow. I wish I had this oddball stamp...<br />

I need to book a trip to Grenada apparently... <br /><br />
See, I knew I'd pull something out of my ass. :PShoTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07798102774115668849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295739483394125148.post-15783575452760085522015-10-27T18:09:00.003-07:002015-10-27T18:09:59.991-07:00Paco Tuesday! or: How I Got Nothin'Small entry this time around...No new cards to talk about today since I've pushed all my Listia stuff to the weekend and no trades coming in this week, two big next week though, so I'll have something to blab about...<br />
<br />
It's the start of the World Series tonight, not a huge fan of either the Mets or Royals, they've both done the Cardinals dirty in the past, especially the Royals. I am a big fan of Yoenis Cespedes though, so I guess I'm quietly rooting "lets go, mets go."....Ugh...I need to take a shower after that...<br />
<br />
And I end today's short porch entry with something I've been neglecting...A few weeks ago, I purchased a lot of 2013 Gypsy Queen cards off eBay and in doing so, I passed 34,000 cards in my collection, the card in question that gets that lucky distinction?....<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Paco Rodriguez rookie card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To tell you the truth, I had no idea who he was, other than he was rookie, played for the Dodgers and had a Gypsy Queen card, so I pulled up the trusty Wikipedia, it seems Paco missed all the 2015 campaign due to injury and will return in 2016. Hopefully a healthy return in that.</div>

Thanks for reading, this was very short, Thursday I'll pull something out of my ass, then this weekend comes ListiaMania 2, what will I get? </div>

Mostly it will be baseball cards, which fits in with this blog nicely, I haven't really looked at too much other stuff on the Listia website, other people's clothes, toys, movies or video games don't really interest me all that much. Enough with the jibber jabber, lets see if I got anything good...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of 2008 Upper Deck Spectrum cards are up first. There were 24 cards in the lot, that's roughly 1/4 of the base set, which for a set builder like myself, is pretty nice. In total 3,363 points. The seller also threw in some extra cards as wells, some 1998 Bowman and this </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
2008 Upper Deck Yankee Stadium Legacy, Billy Martin #2315. This is from the massive 6,742 card set chronicling the history of Yankee Stadium. Yeah, I'm not tackling that set, ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
2015 Topps insert lot. I got this lot mainly for the card above, Maddux Archetypes. Really close to finishing the insert set only a few cards remain. 2,064 points. Other cards in the lot were a Hank Aaron Highlight of the Year and Chris Pratt First pitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/56651/56651-617130Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/56651/56651-617130Fr.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2011 Gypsy Queen Framed Bronze, Zack Greinke. I can't stand him as a pitcher, he's a complete tool, but I want to get all the cards from this parallel set, so regrettably I had to get this. Damn Gypsy Queen. *shakes my fist* 2,242 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/8103/8103-339003Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/8103/8103-339003Fr.jpg" height="320" width="231" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2003 Upper Deck Vintage, Jim Edmonds. Much like Gypsy Queen, anything related to the 1965 Topps design is well loved by the blog, add in a Cardinal and that Cardinal is Jim Edmonds, I was going to go all-in on this and get it at any cost. 734 points was the cost. I was looking for a fight over this card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Willie McGee, 1983 Fleer rookie card. Adding another Willie rookie to the collection, I'm still looking for the right time to strike at the '84 Topps rookie though. 896 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/70558/70558-97Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/70558/70558-97Fr.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2012 Topps Chrome, Yadier Molina. Must I explain why I wanted this? 503 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/76971/76971-CTC-17Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/76971/76971-CTC-17Fr.jpg" height="320" width="231" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Matt Cain, 2013 Topps Cut to the Chase. Another set I'd like to finish at some point, six are currently in my collection, only 42 to go! Yikes. 757 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/71934/71934-5227248Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/71934/71934-5227248Fr.jpg" height="320" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
David Freese, 2012 Topps Triple Threads Sepia, #'d 408/625. It seems like I will go after nearly any Freese card I come upon, I guess it's because he has one of greatest moments baseball history? That's not hyperbole either people. 1,510 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/94878/94878-9869070Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/94878/94878-9869070Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Craig Biggio, 6 card lot. When I see shiny cards, I get distracted, much like a dog with a squirrel. This lot was no exception, I saw a shiny card and put it in my watch list. The above is the shiny card and it's a 2014 Topps Archives Gold #'d 60/199. The other cards in the lot were a 1992 Stadium Club Dome, a 2007 Topps Hit Parade, 2014 Allen & Ginter, 2015 Gypsy Queen and a 2013 Panini USA Cavan Biggio. The Archives Gold being the standout of the lot. Only 666 points. A very good pick-up if you don't mind me saying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/52967/52967-115Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/52967/52967-115Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cubs, 2 card lot. First off, boo the Cubs. Boo. The card pictured is why I got it, it's a 2011 Heritage Alfonso Soriano. While not completely into starting the set, I'll pick up a few cards when I see fit. 499 points. The other card was an oddball of Antonio Alfonseca.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/108234/108234-24745611Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/108234/108234-24745611Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adam Wainwright, 2015 Donruss Preferred Bronze. Shiny card and a Cardinal to boot. My scan of it sucks though.. 499 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/113340/113340-35444560Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/113340/113340-35444560Fr.jpg" height="228" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
David Freese, 2015 Topps 'Til It's Over. Yet another Freese and this card chronicling the moment I referred to above. Yay! 353 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/74134/74134-5552639Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/74134/74134-5552639Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Willie McCovey, 2012 Gypsy Queen Framed Gold. That scan sucks a little bit, but another parallel set I'd like to complete, probably never will though. They look a lot better in person than that scan. 3,870 points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One more card left to show off and I thought for this new feature, I would save my favorite card of the week for last, just a heads up on future editions. So, my favorite card of the week from my Listia haul...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ozzie Smith, 2005 Donruss Classics Timeless Tributes Silver #'d 52/100. That's a mouthful. Ozzie is my favorite player ever, I'm an avid collector of his cards, I had never seen this before and I wanted it when I saw it. I got it and yeah, it's an awesome card. 8,550 points. Worth every single one of those points as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's it for this week's Listia, some solid stuff added to my collection for the cost of a few stamps. Looking ahead to next weekend and the stuff that hasn't come in yet....It looks good, there is something especially I can't wait to get.</div>

Hell of a one-two punch to end the Gypsy Queen's off.<br />
<br />
Two blasters done and dusted for. Nothing earth shattering, I would have liked more base cards, but what can you do? Final tally is 120/350 for the set, so maybe another two blasters are in my future at some point. I would like to finish this base set, because I do rather like it.<br />
<br />
Join me this weekend as I go through my Listia haul for the week, some interesting stuff has come in already.<br />

End of the Gypsy Queen for today, tomorrow is the last two packs... </div>
<br />
Also here today, some 2015 Topps Chrome Blaster talk. I was at the store yesterday and I said what's the hell, lets get a blaster of it. I'm not going to go through the whole thing, just some of the highlights. I've got a few Chrome cards through trades and other ways, I like this years set over the previous years I've seen, maybe the color border has something to do with it. Anyways, the highlights...<br />
<br />
From the base, the highlights were a Jeter which is always a cool pull, Kolten Wong, Clayton Kershaw, Masahiro Tanaka, Daniel Norris rookie, Steven Moya rookie, Jacob deGrom and Brandon Finnegan rookie. That's the main base highlights, I think. lol The Sepia pack was, ugh.<br />
<br />
Now onto the fancy stuff....<br />

Xavier Scruggs base, Xavier Scruggs Refractor and Xavier Scruggs Auto. The refractor came first, then the base, then Auto. It's strange when that happens, right? At first I thought the first two were doubles (same with the Kershaw) until I actually looked at them in the light. The Auto is my first pulled, which is cool. This is something I would usually bitch about and mock Topps about, I don't mind it too much since he's a Cardinal. lol<br />
<br />
And to top of this entry....<br />

Pat Neshek Auto, 2014 Topps Update.</div>
<br />
The last of the TTM Auto's I sent out before taking a little break from it. The second time I've sent to him, from everything I read he's a great signer, so that's a plus. This time I sent some Cardinal cards, instead of Astros like last time. Here's the strange thing though, he didn't return the cards in the top holders I sent them in, in return he sent them in between a stack of 2015 Topps Series 2 cards. lol Who knew baseball players collected cards? lol<br />
<br />
So, that's it for today, until next time....ShoTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07798102774115668849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295739483394125148.post-51675450686772380432015-10-17T14:54:00.001-07:002015-10-17T14:54:25.623-07:002013 Gypsy Queen - Day 5 and Listia Show & TellWell, I'm back posting, hopefully I'm over my allergy flare-up. I still don't have a TV though, although sadly I did see the Cardinals eliminated from the playoffs, that sucks but it frees up my October evenings now, which isn't entirely bad. Before the packs, I did get some mail today, it was a small 2013 Gypsy Queen lot I bought off eBay, some base, some Framed white, a few Mini's and inserts for a couple dollars shipped. Alright, lets get into these new Gypsy Queen packs...<br />

All the above was written a few days ago, as soon as I got done opening the packs, my computer crashed again and I just wasn't in the mood to keep it all going, the creative juices all flowed out of me, that sounds pretty gross, sorry you read that.<br />
<br />
I have four packs of Gypsy Queen left, I've been dragging it out like nobody's business, but everything seems to be back on track, my computer isn't dying left and right. Still no TV, which a week without one hasn't been too bad.<br />
<br />
But since I have everything together, this will be longer than usual, because I got some crap off :Listia and well, I'm here to show it off....<br />

2010 Topps Cards Your Mom Threw Out, Ernie Banks. I like this set of reprints from Topps, I know collector's are suppose to HATE reprints with a passion, why? Because it's on newer paper than old paper?</div>

Who knows, who cares but for only 1,093 points, not too bad of a get. Boo the Cubs though! Boo!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2015 Topps Chrome, Matt Adams. Hey, a Cardinal card. He didn't play in the post-season for the Cardinals, I doubt he would have done much good, but c'est la vie. 301 Points, that's pretty low.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2014 Heritage, Matt Cain. Now this came in a 6 card lot, with three other 2014 Heritage cards, 3 1988 Donruss and 1 1994 Flair. The Cain was the only Heritage card I didn't have and 1 of the '88 Donruss. So, my hunt for 2014 Heritage continues, 90 cards left in the base to get. 503 points, could have been worse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2006 Topps WWE Heritage Chrome, Michelle McCool. Um yeah, I'm from the school who thinks guys that collect female wrestling cards are a little creepy. But it's in the 1965 Topps design! Justification enough? And look under her right arm, Topps forgot to "Chrome" that part. I've never seen something like that. 1,510 points.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2001 Topps Traded & Rookies, Ozzie Smith. Now this is odd, it's a reprint of Ozzie's 1982 Topps Traded card and it's considered a card in the 2001 Topps Traded set as well. I don't understand why it just wasn't an insert, but you'll have to ask Topps that. 503 points. That's pretty low, if you're asking me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1988 Topps Coins, Ozzie Smith. I had a few of these growing up, I didn't like them then and I'm not really a fan of them now, I only got this because of Ozzie. So yeah. 955 points, not sure about that one...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2015 Topps Heart of the Order, Tony Gwynn. That last card I needed to complete this insert set, so I can officially say it's dunzo! Archetypes is nearing it as well, Gallery of Greats though, Nowhere close. 3,333 points for Get It Now, it probably would have went higher if I didn't GIN it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1985 Fleer Limited Edition and 1987 Topps Glossy Send-Ins. Another Ozzie 9-card lot, of the 9, these are the 2 I didn't have. I thought I had the Fleer one, I did not. 1,122 points a solid pick-up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, that's my Listia haul from the entire week, some stuff still hasn't come, but oh well.</div>

Thanks for reading, Gypsy Queen packs will return on Monday, two then and two more on Tuesday to finish it off. Then I'll have nothing to write about. Maybe I should turn this into an entertainment blog and write about the Kardashians? </div>

It is currently 10:57am on Sunday October 11th, 2015. I wrote everything above this paragraph last night with ever intention of posting it, minus what I'm writing about now and maybe some thoughts about the Cardinals/Cubs NLDS game. My thoughts on the game? AHHHHH!!!! lol<br />
<br />
So, why didn't I post this last night? Well my computer died on me, that's why. lol It sucked because everything just froze, like I was Medusa and my screen went to stone. That sucked and my night isn't finished.<br />
<br />
After my brand new paperweight stopped playing music and prevented me from writing this fine entry, I thought I would turn on my TV and allow my computer to rest some while I let my computer cool off.<br />
<br />
I turn my TV on. Nothing. I hit the button again. Nadda. I ask it nicely to turn on and hit the button. It ignores me. Now I go and check all the connections, because I did move my entertainment center around, a cord could have got loose. One did and breathed the biggest sigh of relief. Hit the button again. Nothing but another expensive paperweight.<br />
<br />
Not to mention my allergies are killing me, this morning I look like Mike Tyson gave me a massive right hook. I haven't had the greatest 12 hours, luckily during half of those 12 hours, I was sleeping nothing could go wrong.<br />
<br />
Before I went to bed, I did try my computer one last time and it came on, Praise Jeebus. When I woke up, I tried the TV. It shunned me.<br />
<br />
So what does all this mean, besides being out a TV? Yeah, I have the money to go out and get a TV right now with my Elephant Man looking face - I'm not an animal! But with the Holidays coming up, I'm going to rough it! In other words, I'm going to see what the Black Friday sales are.<br />
<br />
I don't think it will be that great of a loss, minus bye-bye Rock Band 4 and Fallout 4. I don't watch all that much television, what I do watch is available online in a myriad of ways. I don't think I'll be hurting.<br />
<br />
So, that was my 12 hours in a nutshell....Exciting, huh? lol<br />
<br />
God, I like like f*cking Shy Guy from Super Mario.<br />
---------------<br />
<br />
I wrote all of the above yesterday, it's now Monday, October 12th at 3:23pm, Columbus Day! - with every intention of publishing it, but another allergy attack hit and I spent most of the day sleeping it off. Today I feel a lot better, no signs of allergies yet, knock on wood.<br />
<br />
My TV is still broke and my computer is still acting wonky. lol I think I'm just going to post this now</div>

It's like it all comes in one day and then nothing else small comes at all, it's really strange because I get my mail everyday. I don't know what to make of it. lol<br />
<br />
Anyways, lets start off with a trade with Joshua825 at the Trading Card Database, I gave up some 2012 Heritage and a couple 2013 Topps parallels and in return some Cardinal cards including...<br />

2015 Topps Star Wars Journey to the Force Awakens Chewbacca Patch. I got this off eBay for $4 shipped. I have no clue what I'm going to do with it. lol It's a really nice looking card, I just bid on it for a lark, thinking, certainly someone would bid higher, but nope. I should stop doing that. I don't know. I guess it will sit in my collection. I might throw it up on Listia for a ridiculous amount. lol</div>

Yesterday Rock Band 4 came out and like I knew it would, it basically sucked me in all night long. After installing the game and then downloading a 1 gig update, an update for a brand new game? what the hell?, I basically played it all evening and shunned my Gypsy Queen cards. But, here I am to open two more packs of 2013 Gypsy Queen, here we go and as always, packs are opened in real time.<br />

So, two packs into 16 and 7 base cards, 2 inserts (from the same set), 2 minis and a Framed Blue. This set is going to kill me...</div>

Tune in tomorrow for another opening of two more packs and the rest of the week. Unless Rock Band 4 does come tomorrow and just consumes my life.</div>

A trade from wjsenke did come in, I'll talk about that shortly, a few items from Listia as well, but nothing Earth shattering.<br />
<br />
This week will be interesting in terms of what happens and it all revolves around the USPS. Monday, I could get two blaster boxes of 2013 Gypsy Queen I ordered off eBay. I'm still secretly working on that set. Don't tell anyone.<br />
<br />
Then on Tuesday, the thing that will drag me kicking and screaming away from my baseball card obsession...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes, Rock Band 4 comes out Tuesday and for awhile I will be fully entrenched in it, I have over 1,000 songs I need to re-download on my Xbox One, which I can only imagine will be fun! (sarcasm). I picked release day delivery from Amazon, so more than likely it will be here Tuesday evening, which is fine. Hopefully this will hold me off on my gaming need until Fallout 4 comes in early November, then with Fallout 4, I will be fully out of the loop on baseball cards.<br />
<br />
Also on the baseball card front, I have decided to skip 2014 Topps Update. Choosing to save that money for Topps releases next year, specifically the main release and Gypsy Queen. I've already decided to skip Heritage next year.<br />
<br />
Ok, all of that out of the way now, lets move onto the trade with wjsenke, I parted with some Gypsy Queen and some 1994 Flair and in return he helped me out with 2014 Heritage, a set that has sneakily come close to finishing, the base set anyways and some Cardinal cards that I thought were much needed in my collection including a few Yadier Molina cards. Thank you to wjsenke for another great trade!<br />
<br />
Here's a card from that serial number card lot I bought off eBay...No reason to show it, except to show it. lol<br />

Another from corozco at the Trading Card Database. I gave up some Angels, Dodgers and Cardinals scattered across '91 Studio, '12 Heritage, '15 Gypsy Queen and '15 Heritage and got back '14 and '15 Heritage to help me with those sets and some pretty nifty inserts...<br />

2015 Topps Gallery of Greats, Mays and Clemente. Another insert set from 2015 Topps I'd like to finish, I only have 4 though, these are a bit more pricey than the Archetypes or Heart of the Order inserts.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks to corozco for the trade. He's a very good trader. I have two more trades on the way, one big and one small. So look for me to ramble about them next week.</div>

1996 Ultra Call to the Hall, Ryne Sandberg. Recently got the Ozzie Gold Medallion of this set, now a Medallion less Sandberg. 671 points on Listia, not bad for a card with $8 book value.</div>

2015 Topps WWE NXT Prospects, Hideo Itami. I'm a wrestling fan and Itami is awesome. He's not a big name in the States, but in Japan where he wrestled as KENTA, he's a very big name. His finisher is the GTS, which CM Punk ripped off from him. lol 1,510 points again.</div>

That's it for Listia, but one more thing to talk about before I wrap it up. I bought three separate lots off eBay last week and they came yesterday, one lot is a 50+ card lot of 2013 Gypsy Queen, that I'm secretly working on, don't tell anybody. A 50+ card lot of 2014 Gypsy Queen, which I may get to at some point. and a 30+ card lot of serial numbered cards. Roughly 140 cards for $7. Here's the kicker, the seller paid $11 for shipping. Ouch! That does suck.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now a bunch of the serial number cards do need scanning, but I did a few already. Of the 30+ cards, mostly were baseball, some basketball and a few football...The football I think were the standouts though...because here is one...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Those were the two big cards out of that lot, I think so anyways. Hopefully I can unload some of them in trades, the lot was only $1, so it's not a huge gamble. Plus there was a 2011 Gypsy Queen George Sissler Framed Bronze in the group, worth it right there. Over the next few posts, I'll end with what I've recently scanned out of the lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Fitting that a former Cardinal gets me over the hump? Kismet? Karma? Another K-word that describes a chance occurrence that I don't know?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's it for now. Make sure you charge the right amount for shipping on eBay, or you're just giving your stuff away. Oh and make sure the cute girl at the post office gives you correct change and the stamps you bought. Now I have to go back, dammit!</div>

So, this is going to be LONG, but with lots of pictures.<br />
<br />
First off a few trades, from baddchad20 at the Trading Card Database, I gave up some '92 Studio card. Nolan Ryan, Sammy Sosa and Paul O'Neil. Got back a few 1993 Upper Deck cards and the following...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/61736/61736-3719940Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/61736/61736-3719940Fr.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1991 Topps Cracker Jack, Ozzie Smith (my scan). This card is super small, about half the size of a Gypsy Queen mini.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/33328/33328-88Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/33328/33328-88Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
1989 Score Hottest 100 Stars, Ozzie Smith. I'm shocked I didn't have this card. But I didn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another trade this one from p_dawg68, also at the TCDB. I gave up some Cleveland Indians card and in return...a 2015 Heritage David Murphy to help me on that set. 1976 Keith Hernandez, 1988 Donruss Lance Johnson in Cardinal uniform..also...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/91/91-190Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/91/91-190Fr.jpg" height="320" width="231" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1983 Donruss, Willie McGee rookie card. My first Willie rookie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97340/97340-35444826Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97340/97340-35444826Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and 2015 Topps, James Paxton. Odd card to want in a trade, but it was my last card needed for 2015 Topps. I can officially say 2015 Topps is dunzo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking at this stack, I don't know what to go with next...Ok this is a lot I bought off eBay for about $8 I believe..All these cards were in it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

2013 Topps Update 1971 Topps Mini, Yasiel Puig rookie card. Same lot as the Chrome Puig rookie. Like I mentioned earlier this week with the Cespedes mini, I don't care for minis, but I do make exceptions.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2015 Topps Chrome Prism Refractor, Yadier Molina (my scan). Hard to tell from the scans but there are prisms in the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's all from the same Puig lot off eBay, which also included regular 2015 Topps Chrome cards of Adam Jones, Albert Pujols, Hunter Pence, Yadier Molina, Eric Hosmer and Andrew McCutchen. A would say a solid purchase.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok. Now lets do Listia stuff. I kinda went overboard on Listia this past week, but I still have a bunch of points left and no, I haven't bought any (nor do I plan to).</div>

Alright, why did I list those? Well the final Listia mention for the day were three separate lots of Ozzie Smith cards, 9 cards a lot 27 cards in total. I got all three lots for 4,306 points and out of the 27 cards those were five I didn't have. A couple of them, not easy to trade for, but I ticked off five more Ozzie's and got some doubles for sets when (or if) I ever start working on them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

2011 Topps, Ozzie Smith. We wrap this entry up with the Ozzie short print from 2011 Topps. Nabbed this off eBay for $7 shipped. I usually don't like to spend that much for a card, any type really..Auto, relics, parallels or whatever. It's the same price I paid for these two Ozzie cards...</div>

2011 Topps 60 Years of Topps, Stan Musial. A reprint of the '61 Topps Musial card. It's a Cardinal card, which is pretty much the only reason I got it. lol 1,069 points on Lista, not too bad.</div>

2013 Topps Update 1971 Topps Mini, Yoenis Cespedes. I've been on a Cespedes kick the past few months, before he was traded to the Mets and I wanted this, even though I'm really not a big fan of mini's. 3.313 points. A little high, but what can you do?</div>

2010 Topps Update Turkey Red, Lou Brock (my scan). I like the Turkey Red cards and Lou Brock is a Cardinal. Put two and two together. I have one problem with the card though, Lou Brock looks far more cartoonish in it than any other player in the Turkey Red set. It looks...Odd. 1,588 points on Listia. A solid pick-up.</div>

2005 Flair Diamond Cuts Jersey Die Cut, Mark Prior (my scan). I'm not a Cubs fan, but this looks like a nice card, it's also numbered 68/75. A relic with pinstripe, very nice. The card is damaged a little bit around the jersey, it looks like someone bent it causing there to be creases along the top part of the swatch. It sucks but oh well. 8.938 points at Listia. Yeah, I was bid up in the closing moments. A little excessive spending on my behalf. lol That's it for Listia, but one more new card...</div>

Uno, dos, tres, Kerry Wood. 1999 Ultra Gold Medallion (my scan), 1999 Upper Deck Collector's Choice StarQuest and 2009 Upper Deck (my scan). These were cards I was going to do for my TTM auto gimmick, but I changed my mind and picked three different Kerry Wood cards.
