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.

If you ever run across any dupes let me know!
ReplyDeleteSomeone 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
ReplyDeleteA great set. Nice 'gets'.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
