eBay Pick-Up: Five Star Billy Williams Auto

Before I get started with the eBay Pick-Up, I want to ask for your nominations for a few additional 2013 Blog Awards. Comment of this post with your nominations for Best New Blog of 2013, Best Post of 2013, and Top Blogger.

I'll give you all a moment to go make your nominations.....

Okay, now that you're back, here's the 2013 Five Star Billy Williams Auto.


One of my 2014 Card Collecting Goals is to add 5 Hall of Fame autographs to my collection. I was able to get this one with a best offer of $10 shipped. I really like the 2013 Five Star autos and plan on trying to pick up a few more, in fact, I've already picked up another Hall of Famer auto from this set, but I'll save that for another post.

Williams played the majority of his career with the Cubs, but spent the last two years with the A's. There are lots of great Cubs related blogs out there but I've got some contest winnings to show off from Ton over at Waiting 'til Next Year, so be sure and check him out. As far as the A's go, off the top of my head I can think of only one blogger that collects the A's, The Chronicles of Fuji. I've been reading Fuji's blog for years, but somehow wasn't actually following it until a few weeks ago. So,remember to always check to make sure your following the blogs that you're reading!

  1. Thanks for the plug! That certified auto of Billy is beautiful. And at 10 bucks shipped? Crazy.

    1. Yeah, at $10 shipped I'm in on almost any HOF auto, but these Five Star cards are beautiful.

  2. Hard to find a bad looking Billy Williams card but that one is particularly nice. As classy as it's subject. Any particular HOFers high on your list?

    1. I don't have a want list yet. I guess I set my sights on on-card certified autos that I can pick up for around $10 - $15 shipped.
