Who wants to be a millionnaire ?!?!

With Series 2 live I usually have the urge to open some wax and this time was no different. In a few days I will show you the couple of (metal) hits I pulled. Today, it´s time for you to become a millionaire, or at least a chance on becoming one !!

Topps decided that foreigners can´t play any Topps games so sadly enough they won´t give me the chance to become rich. But it gives me great pleasure to give my loyal readers a chance so leave a comment and I will send you a code. I have 18 codes up for grabs !!

Glavine number 951 !!

My progress on the Glavine collection has been a little slow in recent weeks, largely due to my focus on Kershaw and Rizzo. Still, now and then I am able to pick-up a nice Glavine. Here's on that arrived last week, a nice 2005 Leaf Certified Materials, Blue Mirror !

Here's an update of my Glavine collection, it's relic number 140 and Glavine card number 951 !!

Some new Rizzo currency !!

I have been watching one of the cool Gypsy Queen Hometown Currency cards for a while now and the seller finally came down to a more reasonable level. Long story short: Here is my latest and coolest Rizzo card !!

Fan Favourites !!

This year I am not trying to complete the Archives set, don't like it that much this year. Therefore, I will just chase some of the Kershaw and Yankees cards from the set. I did notice, however, that the Fan Favourite Yankees autos were going for less $10, which felt like a bargain to me, especially since I didn't own an autographed card from these former Yankee players yet.

Here's Mickey Rivers and Graig Nettles !!

That's it for today, thanks for the visit !!

A UK Trade !!!

I finally found another way of getting rid of my Red Sox cards (instead of burning them or throwing them away!). John at Pursuitof80s blog, another baseball card collector based in Europe (UK) like me, collects Red Sox cards !!

I send him a bunch of Red Sox cards and a return package arrived at my doorstep earlier this week. Some cool cards from my Want list were included and some cool Yankees cards as well !! Here they are !!

First up a great Jeter 2010 Heritage card, numbered to only 61 !! In addition, one of the very cool Cut to the Chase cards !

Next up minis !! I love minis and still trying to complete several minis sets so these additions are very helpful !! Another mini for my Kershaw collection as well !!

Next up, a great 2011 Gypsy Queen card, I still only have a few of the base cards so still looking for loads of them. Also a cool mascot card (3 more to go I think!).

2009 Allen & Ginter !! Like 2011 GQ I only have a few 2009 A&G yet so still need a lot including this one ! Also the most hated Yankee (also by me to be honest), A-Rod.

Two young Jeter cards were included as well....he looks really young here !

Lastly, 2 cards I still needed, a 2012 insert and a 2012 Archives base card !

The package included a bunch more Yankees so thanks very much John for the trade ! Great to have another place to unload my Red Sox in the future !

National Treasures: Up and Coming Yankees

Panini launched its National Treasures set a few months back. Although it's Panini I do believe they decent job and the cards are actually quite nice. Still, consensus seem to dislike them and as a result I was able to pick up a few "new" Yankees on the cheap !! Here they are !

First up David Phelps, who made his Yankees debut slightly over a year ago . He has been mixed since then and has moved around from starting pitcher to bullpen and back. Hope he will do well in the coming years !

Next-up are two cool cards from Yankees "new" catcher Austin Romine !! He played a little in 2011 and only recently "rejoined" the Yankees after Cervelli got hurt. Hope he sticks around !

That's it for today. I like the National Treasures set and hope to pick-up some more ! What do you guys think ?

Another Museum Score !!

Chasing most of the Kershaw Museum cards I came across another cool card, a primary pieces card numbered to only 25 !!

In addition, the seller added 2 bonus cards, both are for trade !!
