Nice eBay Pickup of My Favorite Player!

Hey guys, Drew back here. I decided to take another day off from school today due to my back injury, just so it could be better by tomorrow. I've been buying a lot off eBay throughout the last week, and I got one of the packages in already. Check it out:

From 2008 Upper Deck Premier, a Nick Swisher "Signature Premier" autographed card numbered out of 25! This is now my 9th Swisher autographed card in my collection of his, and I'm really happy to add it to the collection! It cost around $1o, a typical price for most of his autographs at this point. I hope to continue adding more of Swisher over the next few months, even if I have to look at that alien-like autograph!

Swish is batting .219 so far in 9 games this year, with 7 hits in 32 at bats. He hasn't hit his 1st home run yet, and appears to be struggling thus far in the season. Hopefully he gets it together and starts crushing it as he always does! Let's Go Yankees and Let's Go Swish!

See Ya!

Swisher Collection Pickups

Hey guys, Drew back here. I have 2 items that I bought off eBay to share with you guys, but first, I have a little news. As you may have heard, due to back tightness (???), Cano decided to drop out of the Home Run Derby. This is good news and bad news. Good is that his swing won't get screwed up, and bad because I wanted to see him participate and it looks like we're not going to.

Anyway, I did a little "Swish shopping", on eBay and found 2 cards from a seller that may have been a Swisher fan himself, having sold many autos and game used of Nick that night. I've never seen these cards before, so I knew I needed to jump on the bid button and get them.

The first card was this from 2005 Upper Deck Trilogy, or Trilo3y, if you want to use the bad spelling by Upper Deck. The card features 3 relics, one of which is Pat Burrell (yawn), another of Dale Murphy, which has a cool baby blue swatch, and since I met him, it's cool to have, and then of course my home boy Swish. It's numbered 30 out of 50, and it's got a cool look to it too.

This second one is from 2008 Upper Deck Premier, aka, the product I could never possibly afford but is really nice nonetheless. This card is numbered 3/33, and it has 3 boring gray jersey swatches of 2 bearded dudes and some guy thats almost bald. The bearded guys are Dan Haren, now of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the balding dude is Huston Street, an often injured closer for the Rockies. And Swish of course, who is now on the Yankees. It's funny how all 3 of these guys are gone within 2 years.

Overall, 2 very nice cards to add to the PC! See Ya!

Quick eBay Mailday

Hey guys, Drew back here, with one nice card to display before I go, here it is:

2008 UD Premier Swatches Triple Patch #PS-NS Nick Swisher /50

Price: $5.00

My Reaction:



WOW! That's a low price! I love this card, and the patches are amazing on it. The middle may just be a jersey piece but I'll go with patch for the heck of it. The first patch has 3 colors and 4 breaks and the third has 3 colors and 3 breaks. Considering this being a big hit in an expensive product like Premier makes this even nicer!

See Ya!
