Another Color of the Saunders Rainbow Acquired

2009 Bowman Draft Michael Saunders Red Refractor #5/5: Considering the fact that Saunders' jersey number is 55 is this card (#5/5) a one-of-one? Well, I'm sure it would have been if I had got it off eBay, and lord knows I would have paid a hefty premium for it too. Thankfully I got a fair deal on it (from the equally adorded and hated Blowout Cards Forums) and brought it home for less than the price of a blaster. To me, that's a success. With the addition of the Red Refractor (and the imminent arrival of the Purple Refractor) I just need the Gold Refractor and X-Fractor to complete the rainbow (acquiring the Superfractor would be nice, but I'm sure not counting on it). Can't wait to see it finished.


Thanks for looking! I'll keep you updated as more cards arrive.

eBay Grab Bag: Mariners and More

2007 Bowman Draft Michael Saunders Future Game Jersey: When Ken Griffey Jr. retired, Michael Saunders became my favorite Mariner. He's shown signs of improvement at the plate this season and I hope that he can grab the left field role full-time next season. It's always nice to see a home-grown guy succeed.

2009 SP Authentic Michael Saunders Silver RC #33/59: See above.

2008 UD Heroes Felix Hernandez Jersey #56/125: A jersey card of King Felix for $3 with shipping? Sign me up! He's got a shot at the Cy Young this year, but baseball voters are idiots so they'll probably choose A.J. Burnett.

2009 Bowman Draft Luca Panerati Red Refractor #2/5: Though I normally can't stand WBC cards, I got this red refractor for only 5 bucks, so I figured why the heck not? Panerati is a native of Italy currently in the Cincinnati Reds system. He's only 20-years-old so you just never know what might happen. For five bucks, I was willing to gamble.

2007 Just Stars Michael Saunders Auto #/100: It's Sunday and I'm trying to watch football. I've got nothing interesting to add. Sorry.

2009 UD Signature Stars Michael Saunders RC Auto: Though it's a sticker auto, you can barely tell as it fits nicely into the design of the card. I haven't seen too many of these on eBay, and with Upper Deck's demise in baseball, it's crazy too assume that this card is relatively short printed. Now if Saunders would only start hitting...
