Musing about my five collecting interests: All things Orioles and BALTIMORE Colts, 50's Baseball, team publications, Japanese cards and even some football and hockey. You might find some beautiful women, soccer stuff, presidential pins and life advice from time to time. I don't charge extra for any of those.

It's a Pink Card in 2013!
Yes, as I have mentioned I like cards that feature the color pink. And I'm secure enough in my manhood to admit it.
So I decided to kill two birds with one stone and pick up a card that 1) featured a guy I needed for my fantasy baseball collection and 2) was pink. I went online and the cheapest one I could find was this Jeff Keppinger from this year's Topps set.
A couple of questions I've asked myself....
...why did I have Jeff Keppinger on my team? It must have been during my middle infielder crisis last season.
...why has Keppinger played for 7 different clubs in 9 years? I mean he has a .286 lifetime average which isn't bad for a shortstop, right?
...why did I spend $5 plus shipping for a stupid card that just happens to be pink? This one I can't answer I'm afraid.
Oh, and if you read any of my posts from last year in which I state that I would never ever get involved with fantasy baseball again, well, I was strong armed into giving it one more shot. Sadly it's a 'big money' league. Next year I'm going to just go downtown and pass out the $$$ to the needy. It'll be much more satisfying.
The pink cards are going for stupid prices.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to wait until the frenzy dies down and then find some.
