For $3.99 + $5.87 shipping I got a nice 1970 Season Washington Senators Game Program/Scorecard. Unscored/Lineup not filled in visitors Cleveland Indians. No clear way of knowing exactly which game it was purchased from.

Then I got my winnings from a blog contest held by Robert at his blog $30/Week Habit the prize (one of two prizes awarded):

On Wednesday 18 June 2014: I had a one bubble mailer kind of day. 4 Ebay auctions from one seller 4 cards (+ a bonus card) shipping was $4.00 (shipping was originally $3.00 each card) all four purchases were related and auto cards. All autographs are on card blue sharpie.

2005 Rittenhouse Xena and Hercules: The Animated Aventures Autograph Cards (NoNumber)
Hudson Leick as Callisto (Very Limited) $5.80 - 3 bids
Robert Trebor as Salmoneus (Exclusive Collector Album Card) $4.95 - 1 bid

2001 Rittenhouse Xena: Warrior Princess Season 6 Autograph cards
A7 Hudson Leick as Callisto $13.29 - 4 bids (quite the battle)
A17 Meighan Desmond as Discord $7.95 - 1 bid

Interesting that the Season 6 Callisto autograph looks more hurried and seems to have been done without lifting the pen the cartoon auto looks to have been done with little more concentration with a pen lift between first and last name.

Seller included a bonus card 2001 Rittenhouse Hercules The Complete Journeys Promo card NoNumber

Here is some stuff from last week as a Mailweek (02-06 June 2014) I don't recall what came what days anymore, and frankly I don't really care When something came anymore. I do care about how much I paid for stuff so I try to relate that. For group breaks it is anywhere from $25-$50 with most of the breaks I get involved in on the lower side up to about $35. Anyway one of the two hockey breaks I'm in I got some stuff from:

Ebay:
circa 1995 Team Set: Colorado Silver Bullets Women's Softball: 25 cards in wrapper. I've seen a checklist for a 28 card set, but the images from that one are different than this one. The shrink wrap seemed to be legit. A few sellers seemed to have this set wrapped up. some say the set is 27 cards some 25 some 20something none of them are sure. This set has the player's name in white lettering in a black oval like 1960s/70s Bazooka cards. I have not seen a checklist for it. I Got the set for $3.00 plus $2.32 shipping.

On Friday 06 June: While over at a friend's house (the ones that gave me their son's card collection) I got a pleasant surprise: A "collector" Tin of the 1994 Cooperstown Collection Metallic Impressions Babe Ruth 5 Metal Card Tin Set. The Tin is in really good shape, opened. The cards are still in their individual plastic wrappers. My friend got it in 95 or 96 when they visited the Babe Ruth Museum (in Baltimore). The tin cover/top shows Babe running with bat just after a hit, there is another tin top version that shows a head & Shoulders pic.
