Stuff about my collection

On Monday 15 Jun 2015: A three package mailday.

Package one:
Sportlots auction of 50 Orioles cards ranging from 2008 Bowman Baseball to 2014 Topps Heritage Baseball (1965 Design) The lot was .25¢ + $3.00 shipping. I won't do specifics since there are 50 cards but here is what the brands are:
2008 Bowman Baseball 1
2009 Topps Baseball (raw backs Target exclusive?) 4
2009 Upper Deck Baseball 9 (includes a dupe)
2010 Topps Bowman Platinum Baseball 7 (1 is a serial #d/999 thick parallel forget what they call it)
2010 Topps Baseball 1
2010 Topps Chrome Baseball 1
2011 Bowman Baseball 2
2012 Bowman Baseball 4
2012 Topps Baseball 1
2013 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball 9
2014 Topps Baseball 4
2014 Topps Heritage Baseball: 1965 Design 7

Package 2: Ebay one Football Card .99¢ + $2.49 Shipping
2000 Fleer Greats of the Game Football 71 Billy Kilmer Redskins

Package 3: A beauty sniped from Ebay for $15.50 Free Shipping. Snatched with 20 seconds to go. I was actually expecting it to go for much more but my winning bid was the 8th bid (I think my first bid was #6) A sketch card Print #d/5
2015 by Artist Edward Vela Bryce Harper #3 Limited Edition Signed by artist. #d 5/5

I prefer real sketch cards but #d prints of some subjects are cool as well.

Now there was also a 1/5 sketch print of Frank Howard (with a nice red background but the image isn't as cool looking as the Harper for some reason, even though the red background is better than the multicolors on the Bryce. That is one thing I don't really like much about this artists choices is the backgrounds on many of the cards are too psychedelic in some cases) that I bid on with 45 seconds left with a high of $24.50 but I lost it in the last 10 seconds the winning bid #8 (again 8 bids) went for $26.75. Their max bid must have been much higher than that and one or two others were a little higher than my 24.5 bucks There is another of the Frank Howard # 2/5 I'm trying for...and bidding at the 10 second mark at $30.85 it GETS AWAY at $34.38. Oddly again 8 bids. Doesn't appear to be any shilling going on. Some might see my bids and think I am a shiller since I've been sniping the auctions. Sometimes sniping is the only way to win stuff. Looks like I won't be getting the Hondo from this artist. 3 more out there the seller who is also the artist will probably but the others up as he put these up. He does 5 print runs of each card and sells the five individually starting with 1/5 and working up to 5/5 it seems. Maybe I'll get one of the 3 remaining maybe not.
