I recently found a seller on eBay who creates player specific lots from newer sets. Some of the starting bids are a little high but some decent deals can be had on rookies. I took advantage of a Tyler Glasnow lot that had a $5.99 starting bid. That turned out to be the only bid.
The auto was the centerpiece of the lot. I've been adding a decent amount of Glasnow cards ever since he got sent back down to AAA. He has been dominating down there so maybe he can stick around for good when he gets called back up in September.
Some high end base rookie cards. The copper is an unnumbered parallel.
This aqua parallel is /299.
A nice sampling of base.
The pink parallels are not numbered. They actually look kind of weird in person. Not sure if it is a good or bad weird.
The last card in the lot was "the rookies" insert of the Bucco pitcher.
All in all not a bad lot and a nice easy way to accumulate a sampling of cards from two higher end sets. The auto was just icing on the cake.
Here is a link to the seller on eBay. You might be able to find some deals especially if you buy multiple lots to save on shipping (I assume with 100% feedback he does this).
I used to sell a lot of lots by player (and many by team) years ago and they sold well. Eventually people got cheaper and it got to a point it wasn't worth it, as a seller. It can be nice as a buyer though.
ReplyDeleteI think this seller does it right. I feel like he would get even more traffic if he started the opening price at .99.
DeleteYay Donruss! ♫Glasnow, Glasnow, don't dream it's over♫
ReplyDeleteha, well done!
DeleteThat's a good deal at the price. I'd buy a lot of a comparable Mets player at that price (although I don't see the need for multiples of the same base card, but even counting only one, it's worth it).
ReplyDeleteYeah...I can always throw my duplicates to other Pirate fans. It is so hard to find good prices on high end base that this seems to be a good way to accumulate.
DeleteGood deal! Nice the an auto was included, and great way to score a bunch of current releases.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was pretty happy. All these cards are from sets that I would probably never open.
