A little late to get your Yankees cards

Melky Cabrera has three walk-off hits this season, leads the Yankees in batting average (.317) and just looks to be having a heck of a lot of fun.

He did it again Saturday on national television where Joe Buck clutched his stomach in pain as he had too announce Cabrera's game-winning hit against Phillies closer, Brad Lidge.

However, with Cabrera being on the most loved (and hated) team in the Majors and doing it on national television, his cards might shoot up in price. It could be a too late for Yankee fans to jump on the Cabrera bandwagon and snag his cards.

Check out this card: a dual autographed Cabrera and Robinson Cano card, heroes of today's game. It's a nice looking card and at $21 with a little less than two hours left. Update: The card finished at $31.

Well, since it's Memorial Day weekend, you may have time to find steals before everyone comes home on Monday night. Hurry!

P.S. I'm still sick. That's why I've been MIA over the last few days. I have to say thanks for Marie for keeping the blog going by herself in my absense. Thanks. I'm going back to bed.

Bubble Mailer #1

I went to the post office (finally) to check on a trade I was expecting, and some eBay auctions I had won over the weekend. Much to my delight, there it was- a stuffed P.O. Box full of bubble mailers (and junk mail). Hooray!!! I love bubble mailer days.

Here is what was behind envelope #1:

2008 Moments & Milestones Robinson Cano Autograph



2008 Moments & Milestones Melky Cabrera Autograph



2008 Moments & Milestones Russell Martin Autograph



Let's give them a warm Cardboard Problem welcome into the box I labeled "PC GU & AU", although they won't make it into their home for a few days until I get the proper cases for them.

I ended up with all 3 of these for less than $20. The Russ Martin card ended with no bidders from the same seller as the lot of Cano/Cabrera, so I e-mailed him and asked if he would take $6 for it and he said yes. Not bad for a Russ Martin /25 auto if you ask me. What was even better is that I ordered them on January 2nd, and had them today. It's nice to know that there are still eBay sellers out there who ship as quickly as we do.
