Premier Time

Dug up this dandy out of the closet today as I was searching through some cards in my never ending quest to get organized.  This box was full of mid 2000's goodies.  I must have really liked 2008 UD Premiere as I found a ton of cards from this set.  Must have had a decent amount of Pirates in the set.

Jason Bay had a few cards in earlier sets with Holliday, but as far as I know this is the only card featuring Bay and Pence.  As always I wish the autos were on card, but it is still a pretty nice card.  I've said it before that I love collecting cards like this as it gives me a chance to accumulate some autos of other good players while still using the excuse of a "Pirate" purchase.  A couple weeks ago I featured a Buster Posey/Tony Sanchez auto.  I like Tony Sanchez, but I really wanted that Posey auto.

I'm slowly adding links of some my collection on the blog.  The site I'm using is called Sportscardalbum.com and it is pretty user friendly.  They are currently upgrading to a new server so the links may be out of order for a few days as they get integrated.  Man I wish I was more organized when I was younger.  Hopefully the blog will help motivate me to continue my quest to be organized.

  1. Blogging has forced me to become more organized. I was going to wait until I was completely organized to start blogging, but that would mean I would still be on the sidelines instead of in the (blogging) game.

    1. I'm right there with you. I would read a lot of the blogs and think man that would be fun to do, but I'm way to unorganized to even think about doing that. One day I just said screw it, and got up and running. Glad I did it!

  2. I've been trying to organize my collection ever since I got back into collecting in 2008. The problem is... I keep adding new cards, so I'm thinking I'll never get completely caught up.

    By the way... congratulations on finding that card in your closet. I wish I had boxes with those kinds of autographs laying around my place.

    1. I don't think I'll ever be completely caught up either. My main goal is to get the Pirates and WVU collection cleaned up and ship out a lot of the other cards that I have sitting around that I think other people will enjoy more.

      I have lots of boxes of random stuff. Back in the mid 2000's I had a close friend that owned a card chop. We opened tons of boxes so I accumulated a ton. That is why a lot of the cards I've sent you are from that time period. Most of the cards I'm finding I know I have, but haven't looked at in years.
