Some real nice stuff in there....

I went a little ebay crazy a couple of weeks back hunting down some bargains, so looking forward to a few good mail days myself, hopefully starting tomorrow!

Yep I can go a little crazy on ebay! Most of Autos I got simply because they were so cheap and I was already buying another card/s from the seller and the combined shopping costs made it worthwhile.

Another photo I forgot to add is some Chris Long cards I have been working on as a side PC as it was/is so hard to find any Wisniewski and Tyvon Branch cards!

Three Autos are: 2008 PressPass (it's a shame these guys don't have an NFL licence because they often make some really nice looking cards), 2008 Stadium Club Auto (#d 04/50) and 2009 SP Signature (with Quentin Groves #d 07/50).
Other cards are: 2008 Prestige Picks jersey (#d 051/250), 2008 Topps Letterman Jersey Number Patch Refractor (#d 5/5), 2008 UD Premier Draft Logo Patch (#d 13/15) and 2009 Score Inscriptions End Zone Black (#d 3/6).

Trevor if you have any spare Chris Long in your collection you might want to move LMK!

 

[AusRam]

Hey ! Knock off pinching all the Longs...

But yeah, you're right, find a card you want from a buyer that'll ship here for a reasonable combined cost and then go through all their auctions and look for the bargains. I just wish some sellers would twig to the idea of always putting the team in the title or description, makes it a lot easier...

Not sure of any spare Longs, but will have a look for you, would only be base stuff. Have found a few Raiders from your want list for you, but still looking.... Seems they didn't do that many cards of the defensive guys back then...

I got another 4 Long Autos I have just purchased recently to come in along with another UD Premier patch too. I was hoping Chris would last until the Raider draft pick back when he was drafted but unfortunately the Rams snapped him up (not a complete loss as we did get McFadden instead, but still Chris was born to wear the Silver & Black )

I agree about addidining theam to the title. Would make life a lot easier! Even to the description would help too as I normally serach with that option also). But yeah I have found some real good bargins. It's interesting to watch some of the "'star" players cards go cheaper than the the not so common big name guys asI guess they pop up less. I got in a bidding war for a Tyvon Branch Auto that ended up between 3 of us and stopped when the bids actually reached the "Beckett Value". Ended up buying a Brees jersey card for a 1/4 of the price which I was able to trade for two different Branch autos

Cheers regarding the Raiders guys. Let me know when you are ready and I'm sure we can make a nice big trade for a bunch.
