Sooey!

I bought a whopping three cards on eBay during the month of May, in today's post you'll be seeing two of those three:

My good fortune continues, at least as far as my being able to pick-up relatively cheap cards from the 2001 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Ground Hoggs set goes.

I'm always a fan of guys who spend their entire career with one team, and Amani Toomer did just that. His loyalty paid off as, after 11 years with the Giants, he was able to finally get a Super Bowl Ring in his second to last season. Also still holds a number of team records as well.

All my other six or seven cards from this set contain pieces of the outside part of the shoe, which is what I normally prefer, but I really liked the color of this piece, so I made an exception and bid on this inside piece... which I obviously ended up getting. With shipping, this one ended up going for $4.99.

Back to an outside piece! Did you know that Chad Pennington has the second highest career completion percentage (66.0%) of all-time? I certainly didn't.

At around $8.50, this was the most that I had paid for one of these so far. It was the first time that I had seen a Chad Pennington, and this particular chunk of shoe was pretty cool, so I figured why not treat myself... although for the record, $10 was my limit.


Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.
