There is a monthly card show in Fayetteville that I try to attend when possible. I wish I had a picture of it. It's pretty pitiful. However, I can usually find something I want, so I keep showing up each month. The dealers and selection don't really change that much from show to show. I'd love to go to a big show sometime, but it's probably better for our bank account and my standing with the lovely wife that I don't. Here was the best card I got today:
Not a game changer, but a graded Gwynn rookie is a nice addition for me. At the same table I for some reason purchased this:
I have recently been awakened to how good Craig Biggio really was, which is why the card caught my attention. However, this is a 1989 Donruss card. Graded 8. I didn't spend much on it, so I don't have buyers remorse. I think I was just confused when I saw it. Someone sent this card in to get graded, and from what I understand, that is not a cheap thing to do. I don't understand why this was sent in for grading, and I don't understand why I bought it.
So I've shown the best card I bought, the most confusing card I bought. Here is my favorite card I bought:
Nick Schmidt was one the best Razorback pitchers of all time. He is currently in the minors dealing with injuries, and has not yet got on track as a pro. He was drafted by the Padres in the first round in 2007, but I'm not sure if he is still with them. Regardless, I loved watching him pitch, and this card is really nice. It's very shiny and numbered to 500 and has a swatch of a Razorback jersey.
Tomorrow I'll subject you to my dime box prizes.

Nice! Someone must have really liked Biggio.
Donruss Elite Extra Edition are some of my favorite cards.
