I'm on a Crusade

Quick shout-out to Jared for the box of D-Backs he dropped on me. It's going to take me a while to sort and scan and post everything he sent, but a post is definitely coming. There will also be a return package.

Meanwhile, I picked up a nice two card lot off eBay that finally made its way into my hands. I got an email on Monday that the package was delivered, only there was no package. I decided to wait another day to see if it showed up before doing anything, but no package on Tuesday. On my way home from work on Wednesday I call the post office to file a report. After I got home, there was a knock on my door and a guy with the package. He said it had been delivered to him by mistake. I'm so glad it made it to me.





I picked up these cards for what I consider to be a really good price. I'm a bit disappointed with the purple one though. Anyone that's familiar with these 1998 Donruss Crusade cards ever seen the line across the bottom right above the Donruss logo?

I still need the red version which is numbered out of 25 and if I can ever find one, I'm sure it will be pricey. If you happen to be sitting on one and want to trade, let me know.

  1. One of the greatest sets ever! The line across the cards was a common printing snafu. I have one with it and one without it.

    1. Hopefully I can upgrade one day to the version without.

  3. I love the Crusade cards. The Reds can be pricey. I think I paid about $20 for my Lankford copy.

    1. $20 for the red Crusade is an absolute bargain, at least right now!
