I do miss the days when eBay was truly a collector-driven auction site, but the site's declining appeal does make it easier to maintain my "less is more" approach to collecting. I haven't added too many cards in 2009, but feel like most of my pick-ups have been fairly notable: a couple Mattys, a Cobb, a Young, and most recently an E90-1 Walsh.

These albums include all the cards that have passed through my hands over the last couple of years. Cards tend to enter and exit my collection quickly, so I like keeping an image archive. I just wish I had started it much longer ago.

All prices include shipping (and insurance for purchases over $100). Multiple-card purchases will therefore get a slight discount. I'm always open to trade talks as well. Thanks, Steve.
