eBay Wins #113

I won 97 auctions for individual 1991 Leaf cards this time around. The seller couldn't find one of them, and asked if he could replace it with another card from the set, and since I was agreeable to that, he sent me two replacement cards. So this bundle is 98 cards for 97 cents. The cards were just curved enough to make them annoying to scan, so I've trimmed this post down to just the 11 Cardinals in the stack.

Mark Whiten made me want to be an outfielder, because it was simply amazing to see him throw the ball from to the warning track to home plate on the fly. I'm not sure how many runners he actually threw out, but he certainly made runners think twice about tagging up, much like Molina seems to give would-be base-stealers pause.

These cards really aren't curved that badly when I put them in sleeves, but for some reason it took me way too long to line them up on my scanner.

Before these 98, I had 23 cards from the 1991 Leaf set. There were a few duplicates, but now I have 116 cards from the set.

eBay Wins #77

Today's eBay win is another half-dozen cards for a nickel and a penny. That's 6 penny cards if you don't like doing math on the weekend.

I feel like these cards are everywhere, but I only have 182 unique cards from 1989 Donruss. It's not a particularly great set, so it's not high on my list, but I still like the idea of completing it one day. This purchase added 4 new cards and 2 duplicates, since I already had the Lance Johnson and John Moses card. If I ever finish the set and start a separate "Current and Former Cardinals" collection, now I'll have a Lance Johnson for it without breaking up this set. Aim high, I always say.

If I ever get a Genius Grant, I'll dedicate some of my time to things like counting how many players in the 1980s sported mustaches on their cards. This post is 5 for 6, I believe.

Kind of milestone: I crossed 2400 cards won on eBay with these 6.
