Some Recent eBay Pickups

I was originally planning on having an autopsy post to examine my Gint-A-Cuffs X entry, but some recent developments have convinced me to delay that post for a bit. Instead, I am going to take a look at a few eBay pickups I've received during the past few weeks.

The first couple of cards are from 2018 Panini Stars & Stripes. I've been trying to snag cards of Steven Gingery whenever I can. Gingery, a fourth round pick for the Cardinals in this year's draft, was the ace of the Texas Tech staff until he blew out his elbow in one of his early starts this season. I'm excited to see him get back to being healthy and to see how he will do in the Cardinals' system. This Silhouettes patch auto is numbered to 25.

This may be my favorite addition to my growing Gingery collection:

It's not autographed, but this jumbo relic comes from the player's nameplate. It's numbered 1 of 4. I really dig it.

I also snagged a couple of Matt Harrison cards. It's getting harder and harder to find Harry cards that I don't already have. However, there are still a few out there.

For instance, I didn't have this 2012 Prizm auto, numbered to 25. Now I do.

On occasion, I will intentionally grab duplicates of cards I already have, like this one:

This is the Brooklyn Back/Red Back of the 2013 Allen & Ginter mini. I know I have at least one of these already, and I believe that I actually have one or two more in my collection, as well. I gave all of $1.25 (with free shipping, if I recall correctly) for it, so it was hard to pass up.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

The Daily List - December 2, 2013

Apologies, I was in the process of uploading the video to YouTube yesterday when I had a family emergency.

1. After much debate in my head, I've decided to consider my 2013 Allen & Ginter set "complete." I have the base set and all short prints, but I'm not close to finishing the insert sets. I originally planned on getting everything like I did with Gypsy Queen, but Ginter has so many damn inserts and they are ridiculously overpriced on eBay, so to hell with it. Done. I'll leave my "Needs" list up in case anyone wants to send me some cards from the inserts.
2. In terms of nearly-complete sets, I like 12 cards in completing my 2013 Topps flagship project: four cards from Series 1 (7, 68, 201, 326) and eight cards from Series 2 (339, 377, 378, 393, 482, 508, 530, 591). Help me out!
3. A few weeks back, a couple people hit me up about potential trades. Please leave me a comment below! I can't seem to find those e-mails to figure out who asked me what - I was right in the middle of a crazy week and getting ready to go out of town for vacation, and I lost your letters! I'm so sorry!
4. Nate over at Big 44 Sports Cards runs a pretty sweet blog devoted to basketball, baseball and football and also has some product reviews. The only problem I see is that he's a Steelers fan (go Cowboys! It's really hard to say that these days) Go give him a follow! He uses the Google+ thing, (which I am too stupid to figure out) but perhaps we can convince him to add the Blogger Follow button! Bookmark until then if you need to, it's worth your time!
5. Lastly, I'm sure you remember me going on and on about the Taproot concert last Friday. Well, it was awesome! The lead singer even grabbed my phone while I was recording a song and gave me his point of view...watch the video below (about 2:20 in).
