Well, I sent about 90 Magic cards in to help fill out the submission I sent under the $77 special just to see what happens.
Most of the magic cards posted a couple of days ago, and within a day, I've sold 13 cards so far for $80. Nice to recoup my submission fee immediately. :D
Beckett has the insertion rates posted:
blue ink: 1:96, ANCO packs 1:115
black ink: 1:503, ANCO 1:600
gold ink: 1:1,509, ANCO packs:1795
However, I can't find a total case production run or an individual card print run to use in working out how many autos there are.
Does anyone know?
Belt back to the DL with reoccurring concussion symptoms. :(
Well, that's one way to get Morse's clank-mit out of left field.
They must have figured something was up, because though Duffy got optioned yesterday morning, he stayed with the team and traveled with them to KC.
Guess the Giants thought the same thing: Duffy got optioned to make room for Pagan.
That pretty much puts Blanco back on the bench as the late-inning Morse replacement.
Hopefully Morse finds his power stroke again.
2nd half:
Morse: .279/.333/.377, power potential, clank-mit,
Blanco...
Do we even need a platoon? Panik seems to handle the few lefties he's faced so far (5 for 10).
I don't know what happened to Arias this year. He was a decent sub/bench guy in 2012 and 2013. His OPS is 200 points lower this year than it was the previous 2 years.
PSA recently redesigned their holders. Folks over at the PSA boards say that the new design is similar to Beckett's holder now. I haven't actually examined one of the new holders yet though.
Angel Pagan will be arriving in Milwaukee a few hours after first pitch. He should be activated by tomorrow's game.
They've been 8 games under .500 since Pagan's been out (18-26). Maybe that magic of his will spark the team for the stretch run?
Nate Schierholtz got DFA'ed by the Cubs today...
I thought Sportlots always sided with the seller?
A few years back, I bought a couple of common 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany cards from a seller on Sportlots named "48292018". The cards I got were not the Tiffany versions, so I contacted the seller. The seller immediate said that was lying, so I...
And without even getting an MLB debut, Parker has been sent back down to make room for Belt, who's coming off the DL and starting tonight.
Though it's likely he'll come back at some point, Parker going to be a member of a small group of Giants players who got called up but demoted before making...
Angel Pagan looked healthy in his AZL game last night. He's heading to Fresno for a game tonight.
Brandon Belt says he's feeling healthy and ready to go, but the Giants might have him do a rehab game first.
Scutaro's a lost cause and Cain's toast, but we might actually have our opening day...
And... Cain likely done for season. No TJ surgery though. This is for the bone chips floating around in his elbow that he's always pitched with. Apparently they've gotten so bad that he can't pitch, so he'll get them removed.
Maybe this is why Cain's gone down-hill since 2012? 2013 was...
Giants made no deadline deals today.
As for Uggla, apparently the Giants left him behind and told him to go to Fresno. He can choose the do so and stay on the roster, or refuse and get dfa. I didn't know teams could do that with veteran players without running them through wavers.
Colvin optioned before NY trip. Belt is probably getting activated shortly.
Curiously there was a rumor that Uggla got dfa, but the giants refused to confirm today. A few beat writers fed the rumor, citing "sources", so we'll see.
I got a few new additions to my SF Giants rookie card (or parallel) collection:
2001 Leaf Rookies & Stars #/25: Dustan Mohr
Dude's short Giants career is known more for messing up in his final game: bottom of the 10th in SD, tie game. Bases loaded with 1 out. A foul ball was hit to the...
Giants just acquired Jake Peavy from the Red Sox in exchange for $$ and AAA pitchers Edwin Escobar (starter) and Heath Hembree (reliever).
Andrew Susac has been called up to replace Hector Sanchez as the Giants backup catcher.
Kinda surprised by the Susac call-up, but he was going to have to...
Maybe it was just Lincecum reverting back to the norm of the past few years, but it seems odd that he's been pitching really well with Hector behind the plate, and then when Posey puts on the gear, Lincecum falls apart.
At this rate, the Giants will erase their positive run differential in the...
And in addition to 3 no-hit innings so far, Greinke just struck out 4 in one inning. Yes, he struck out 4.
H Sanchez struck out swinging.
T Lincecum struck out looking.
H Pence struck out swinging, H Pence safe at first on wild pitch by Z Greinke.
G Blanco struck out swinging.
Yikes.
Adrianza and Scutaro to the DL.
Nick Noonan and Jose DePaula DFA'ed.
Dan Uggla and Tony Abreu's contracts purchased and will be in uniform tonight.
Abreu was hitting .281/.329/.434 in Fresno, and had recently opted out of his minor league contract, but obviously hadn't found a job...
I've used COMC to sell sports cards for a few years and am pretty happy with the site for that purpose.
How good of a marketplace is it for MTG cards? I see MTG cards on the site, but not a lot of sellers. Are there a lot of buyers?
