Ellis Burks 1998 Donruss Signature

The "things to post" folder is getting pretty empty waiting for a few packages that are expected to arrive until next week, so I will take the time to show off a recent purchase from COMC. This was the only Burks certified auto until 2013 Topps Archives and 2013 Hometown Heroes (Beckett lists a dual auto with Dante Bichette in Pastime, but I have been looking for one since it came out and am almost sure the card was never made). A nice on-card auto, and while Beckett lists the card limited to 900 copies, mine is number 922. I would assume this is actually limited to 1000 as this is the Millennium version, with there being a century version limited to 100.

Goodies From Across the Pond

Winnings from a recent contest at everyone's favorite Dutch Card Blogger, arrived, with an Inception Auto Relic of prospect Slade Heathcott, I love the Inception line and even though I don't collect Yankees this card is a welcome addition. Some random Rockies also came along for the ride.

Final Trade of 2013

The last post of 2013 featuring the last trade of 2013. A mix of stuff from the wantlist via Zistle. The above Ellis Burks was almost on my 30 best Rockies card list, and is a welcome addition to the Rockies binder.
