More and more dirt...

Don't you just love those saved searches on eBay?  I do.

I grabbed this Sammy Sosa card for $3.00 to fill in a hole in my dirt relic collection.

A few days later another e-mail popped up with another match.  This time of Chipper!!

I don't know how much you can tell in the scans, but the dirt in the Sosa card (and most of the others I have) is very fine and powdery.  The dirt in Chipper's card is dry and gravel like.  Doesn't really matter to me...I just think it's cool to have 1) a new Chipper card that I didn't have and 2) a card with dirt inside!

With these 2 cards I'm only a few shy of complete the Play at the Plate dirt relic set.  Still need Bagwell and McGwire.  Then I can turn more of my attention and resources to the King of the Hill dirt relic set.

  2. Someone is selling the whole set on eBay right now for $40. A bit high in my estimation, but still a cool set that I'll need to complete my Stadium Club nonsense eventually! -Andy

  3. I saw that set Andy. The seller has tried selling the set as a whole before. I think the last time the set was listed for $60.
