As I mentioned in my last post, I attended the Inside Pitch show in Raleigh, NC this past weekend. I got many, many great cards but I'm only going to show the Game Used cards in this post. I lucked out and found a vendor who was doing his last show before retiring to Hawaii. I was able to scoop up all 4 of the following cards from him for a great price:
This one is from 2005 Upper Deck Trilogy. Notice that it is serial numbered 20/99.
I really like this one because of the orange swatch. I haven't seen a lot of Ripken GU's that have an orange jersey piece.
Here's my first Eddie Murray Game Used card. This is a really nicely done card by Upper Deck in 2004 SP Legendary Cuts. I'm really digging the Gold Stamped cartoon bird logo.
This one is perfectly round, but I think it is too skinny to be the handle of the bat. This card reminds me of a dollar bill because of the green motif of the card.
I also picked up this one from William. I added the random piece of dust that you can see on the jersey piece. I might keep this one or trade it for the right offer.
Awesome finds. That bat chunk has a lot of personality. I'm jealous, and very curious of what the great price was. Secrets...
ReplyDeleteNice orange GU of Ripken. Card companies should add more color to there relic cards. I know its an old complaint but, Topps can pick its game up.
ReplyDeleteThe Ripken Classic Numbers is a just plain pretty card!
ReplyDeleteThat Murray looks pretty sweet. I like the older Legendary Cats cards... Might have to get a box of them at some point.
ReplyDeleteNice cards. I was wondering where you went to a show--I don't know of any decent shows that are coming up in the MD/DC/NOVA area anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteNo idea if I have anything to offer for it, but I am interested in the Pujols.
ReplyDeleteAnd the orange Cal is damn sweet.
