THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY COLLECTION

Hey everyone, Drew back here. I got home from my trip to find 4 packages waiting from me. One from Grand Cards, one from Bad Wax, and 2 from eBay. While everything was sweet, those 2 blog packages will be saved for another day. For my Confirmation and Birthday celebration, I picked up a few really nice cards. Today I found the crown jewel, and another nice one.



The first of these 2 was a 2010 Allen & Ginter Robinson Cano bat card. Many of you have pulled this card, but I was able to get it cheap so I jumped at it. Cano has been having an awesome year, and I'm really happy to have invested in many of his cards earlier. But this is not the highlight of this post at all.

Is! My first, and hopefully not last, Derek Jeter auto! I bought this off eBay last week for a high price, especially for a baseball card. I've never spent more than $30 until now, and I don't know how to describe the feeling. Although it's a beautiful card and I love it like crazy, I don't know how someone could possibly pay over $100 for a piece of cardboard. But, this is something I've wanted for a long time, an autograph of my favorite player. And since I had the money to afford it, I figured I would get a nice one. I didn't want to go over $200, which I didn't, and I needed to know the card was a legit auto. I searched for a while, and then saw this beauty and stopped. I needed this card! So, after a long time of studying the card, I bought it, and it's mine! ALL MINE! The card is a masterpiece, the on card auto, the jersey, on canvas, ooooooooooo yeah!

Let me know what you think of my new favorite card, and your opinion on spending a lot on a card! See Ya!

  1. That is an awesome card. Jeter has one of the best autos I have ever seen. I hate the Yankees, but I love the kid from Kalamazoo Michigan.

  2. What a beaut! It's painful for me to admit that maybe Jeter isn't such a douche after all. It's hard for me to say that about a Yankee.

    He does still look like the spawn of The Rock and a Muppet though. It'll always be the first thing that pops into my warped little mind when I see him.
