Took advantage of the Paypal/Bill Me Later eBay bucks promo and bought this for $123 dlvd. By using Bill Me Later, I have 6 months to pay for it interest free and got $15 in eBay bucks in addition to the $2.40 I earned with the purchase. All in all, it will set me back a little over $100...
same here man, wife, kids, mortgage...still collect what i can within a reasonable budget. glad to have you aboard and to know that things are going well for you! happy holidays!

I am not overly thrilled with Ianetta, would have much rather had kept Napoli but it was a good trade. It almost cements the fact that Mathis will be non tendered. If Ianetta can put up a .230/.350/.450 line, it will be a definite upgrade.
you did great! the bradleys are really nice pulls. you may want to get in touch with topps regarding the aflac. since they didn't serial # them, i believe they are going to go through bgs/jsa to authenticate them. let me know if you want to move the cron auto.

Another thing to consider, with the MLBPA RC designation, a guy like Cron could conceivably have a couple more chrome autos before his RC is issued. I would much rather have a pic in a spring training uni than an airbrushed mess.
My collection focuses on Angels' rookie cards and autos, thus my collection dollars are spread pretty thin. I am not a completist when it comes to collecting, I'd much rather have a card that is visually appealing than a card which is sought after by the masses.
I was anxiously awaiting BDP's release in hopes of picking up a few C.J. Cron Chrome Autos but after seeing the horriffic photoshopped picture they used, I might be focusing more on the Leaf Draft parallels. I understand, from an investment persepctive, the chrome will prove to be more sought...
Didn't see one posted so I figured I'd give it a go. Picked this up for $30 dlvd. They have been selling for $45+ so I am more than happy with the price.

paid $8 and change with my eBay bucks
the late addition replaced ichiro's card in topps chrome due to licensing issues. it has more of a foil look than chrome.
