Don't you hate it when....

So, I had a VERY successful week of selling some things from my spring cleaning closet clean out. Due to this, I have had a nice chunk of change in my Paypal account. I sent a bunch to my checking account and left some for some eBay grabs.

This first bunch of cards I purchased for 49 cents each and I am excited about each one.

1995 Upper Deck Electric Gold Reggie Roby

1995/96 Upper Deck Electric Court Gold Scott Brooks

1997/98 Stadium Club First Day Issue Rodney Rogers

1997/98 Stadium Club First Day Issue Calbert Cheaney

I was a big fan of Cheaney as a kid, so I was excited to grab this parallel of him. The Electric Golds were inserted 1:36 packs, so picking up those was just icing. As for the Rodney Rogers card, why not grab another First Day Issue? These don't scan as nice as I would like, but I feel they are sweet additions to my 90s collection.

Moving on, I had also been watching a few auctions of a collector who was selling off a bunch of 2005/06 SP Authentic Future Watch Auto RC's. I have a bunch of these currently, but there were 4 that I was planning on bidding on. After being outbid on 2 of the cards, I made sure that I won the other 2. I was floored to pick these 2 up for less than $14.

2005/06 SP Authentic Future Watch Dion Phaneuf Auto RC /999
2005/06 SP Authentic Future Watch Cam Ward Auto RC /999

2 awful looking autos, but I am excited to have them nonetheless. Seriously though, how does that auto above say Cam Ward? I'm baffled!

Now to address the title of this blog post. A seller on eBay had a bunch of auctions listed. All of the items were listed less than a dollar and combined shipping was ridiculously cheap. There was 1 card in particular that I had been looking for, for ages. It had been on my eBay alerts and when the alert went off on my phone, I was so excited I had to tell my wife (who really did not care at all). So, I bid on a bunch of this sellers items (especially the card I had been looking for) and won them all for under a dollar each. Below is the huge haul

When the package arrived, I sifted through the pile as fast as I could looking for that 1 card that I've been looking for and....it wasn't there. Don't you hate it when this happens? I guess the seller either a) forgot to pack it with my order - or - *GULP* b) sent my card to someone else. I'm really hoping it's not choice b. I messaged the seller and he responded right away to let me know he was away, but would check when he got back home. Now the wait begins. I'm really hoping he just forgot to send it.

Have a Happy Easter everyone!
