Anyways, I got a couple envelopes in the mail, including a surprise package containing my first official 1/1 card...but that is another story for another day.
Tonight I received a couple of eBay treasures that I thought I would share with you. While it is certainly more fun to pull a dual-auto out of a random pack of cards like, sometimes I like to create my own luck. Plus when I am busy typing out a report, it is about the only card shopping I can do. I am very proud to add both of these to Jacoby's treasure box.
YO! I was pretty mad at myself for forgetting to check in on a Topps Career Best card of Yovani that I could have had for less than 5 bucks, so after several days of searching I land on an exquisite /#20 First Signs of Mr Gallardo. This is my first official Gallardo auto, and also my first exquisite auto. It is on that nice thick sweet spot-like card stock and it pretty swanky lookin. Apparently the card is also sponsored by Nike.
Doin a little prospecting here! I decided to jump on a /#10 Dexter Fowler SP Authentic Gold card. This one went by fairly unnoticed and I got a killer deal on it, so either it was off the radar, or Dexter has already been booted back to AA ball. I am willing to take that chance though and best that Dex hits some moon balls out of that trampoline of a stadium known as Yankee...I mean Coors Field. This card has a beautiful front and back design and a bit of refractor in the lettering and numbering of the card. Well off to sleep, G'nite!
I envy your Yo! I might have to take a look around for another one of his autos.
ReplyDeleteI ended up grabbing the Gamel and Yo Goudey Graphs off ebay recently. Very happy with the price paid on both, and it looks like you did well for yourself too!
