Ebay Pickup - 2011 Topps Silk Nolan Reimold

I was looking for birthday presents for a couple fellow bloggers the other day and during my searches for awesome cards for their PCs, I decided to look up a few for my own PCs as well.  I was able to find several Nolan Reimold cards that I still needed (and one that I already had 2 of, but saw a great deal) at really cheap prices, so I jumped on them.  One of them is the above 2011 Topps Silk Collection from 2011 Topps Update.

Even though Nolan has been hurt this year (and last year), he is still one of my favorite players.  It helps that he was awesome to me when I met him in 2010 (his wife is also equally as awesome).  He's a really good dude and I sincerely hope he is able to come back to the Orioles next season and show the potential that he has had flashes of in the last few seasons.

I plan on showing the other Nolan cards that I picked up soon, so, continue to keep an eye on the blog to see what I got!

Off of the Want List - 2009 Topps Silk Nolan Reimold

I felt like I had been neglecting my want list a few months ago when the only things I was knocking off were HOF signed baseballs.  So, I updated the list for the 2012 National Card Show and have been trying to keep up with it ever since.  Since I did that, I have added several Nolan Reimold parallels to my collection.  I have gotten lucky recently in being able to find the ones I need.

One of the cards I got in the mail yesterday was the above 2009 Topps Update Silk Nolan Reimold #36/50.  I had been looking for this card for a while and could never come across any at shows or Ebay.  Luckily, someone finally posted one on Ebay and I grabbed it.  This is considered a rookie card, so it carries a bit of a premium, especially among Reimold fans.  I have only seen this one since I have been looking, so it doesn't look like too many people are willing to part with them.  I'm glad I added it, though because I need to make room on my want list for all of the 2013 stuff that will be coming out before you know it.
