eBay Wins #183

Sometimes I bid on lots of cards at once on eBay. I'll bid a penny on pretty much any card, and more on cards I specifically want. I figure at the very least penny cards give me something to trade. I didn't really realize that I bid on at least 9 different auctions for this same card from the same seller, until the envelope arrived with all 9 of these in one stack.

2006 Bowman Draft - Draft Picks #DP58 Kristopher Medlen (x9)

I could have just scanned one, but then you wouldn't get the whole self-Bipping experience I gave myself. On the plus side, I gamed my stats and I've had 2 posts in a row where my average eBay card cost dropped by .001 cent.

eBay Wins #36

I won another big bunch of cards for a penny apiece. This time it was 2005 and 2006 Bowman Draft. I actually didn't realize until I started writing this post that it was Bowman Draft and not Bowman, but no matter. I have a huge hole in my collection from 2000 to 2010, so anything in that range I can get cheaply is new to me. Since it's now 6 to 7 years later, these are mostly the leftover cards of players that didn't pan out, though not all of them.
