In the Mail 9/9/10

It's been awhile since I've posted what the mailman brought me so here are 4 nice cards I was excited about winning on eBay.

2010 Topps 206 Dual Relic Brian McCann #DR-BM (85/99)

2010 Topps 206 American Caramel Autograph Melky Cabrera #ACA-MC

 

2010 Topps 206 Autograph Gregor Blanco #TA-JB

I know the guy isn't w/ the club anymore, but I like the mini framed on card autos.  Plus the card was cheap ($3.00)!

Overall I haven't been that impressed with the new 206 set, but the mini cards are nice and these relic and autograph inserts are terrific.  I'm sure I'll be tracking down some more of these once the wallet has had a chance to recover.

Switching gears now to the gridiron.  In celebration of Everette Brown's fantastic pre-season performance I went looking for more autographed rookies of his.  I wasn't able to find many, but here is one I grabbed for $4.00.

 

2009 Donruss Gridiron Gear #146 (021/100)

In the mail 7/8/10 through 7/16/10

Before I found any 2010 Allen & Ginter locally I hit up eBay to see what was available in the Braves variety and found a few Martin Prado minis & a Melky Cabrera bat relic.

Ever since Prado made the All-Star team it seems like more of his cards are appearing on eBay, but that has also caused some of the prices to go higher than if he hadn't been named to the team. I believe I grabbed the black bordered mini for $2 and the A&G back mini for $1.

No love for Melky apparently as I grabbed this bat relic card for $.99.

2009 Upper Deck Icons Lettermen "A" #d 03/40. I've grown tiresome of McLouth and I'm not entirely sure if he'll even be on the team at the end of the season. I only need one more Lettermen card though to spell out his first and last name so I can't give up now. All I need now I believe is an "L" and I'm done! Oh yeah, only paid $.99 so I'm not the only one that has given up on McLouth!

Jonathan Venters 2008 Bowman #BCP27 Refractor #d 060/599

Xfractor #d 066/275

Here's another Brave that all the sudden has gotten semi-expensive on eBay. This makes 4 variations of this card I have now (regular, chrome, refractor & xfractor).
