One of my favorite things to surf EBAY for is a good deal on Cardinals lots. There has not been any that have jumped out at me lately, so I decided to look elsewhere. Trading Bases member William M. post on the group board about trimming down his collection. He has a nice website that is easy to find cards which is sorted by team or player with his sale prices listed. I found 15 different Cardinals from my wantlist that cost me $20 delivered.
Heritage short print seem to be easier to pull, but are still difficult to find a deal on. Glad to cross off a couple of older one like the 2008 Looper and 2002 Drew. The 2024 Yepez leaves me one short of the team set. Of course it is the Jordan Walker short print.
I completed my 2013 Topps Tribute team set by adding the Molina and Smith cards.
Speaking of Ozzie, these 2 cards completed my 1995 Pinnacle Museum Collection team set. I love the top card showing Ozzie in the early stages of his flip.
I completed another team set by adding the 2013 Wal Mart blue Joe Kelly. It will be an interesting week or two for Brendan Donovan. He is a hot trade target for many teams, but the Cardinals asking price is rumored to be high. I love him as a player and he is an even better person off the field, but the Cardinals do not appear to be going anywhere the next few years, so it may be best to trade him.
Two more short print cards, one from 2003 Sweet Spot and the other from 1997 Finest.
My Topps Gold quest continues with two Update cards.
Finishing up with two numbered short prints. The 2005 Classics Musial is numbered to 1,000, while the 2003 Fleer Avant Hart is numbered to 699.
I was very pleased with the average cost of $1.33 for each card including postage. Once my Christmas bills are paid off, I may have to place another order.
