Card Shop Pick-Up and a Question

Yesterday I took my two oldest boys, Kolby 5 and Brady 3, to the card shop. I'm trying to get them into collecting, so I told them that they could each have $2 to buy their very own card. My 5 year old picked out a really cool auto with his $2 and I was able to finally help my 3 year old pick out a jersey card of a future Hall of Famer. I'll post their cards soon. I picked up this 2009 Topps Unique Dual Distinction David Wright / Jose Reyes jersey card numbered 89/99 for $2. The Wright jersey is red and the Reyes jersey is gold. My question is, what jersey do you think these pieces are from? I'm thinking maybe an all-star game weekend jersey, but I'm not sure. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Free Baseball Cards from Swag Bucks

A while back I stumbled onto a website call swagbucks.com. After signing up, which is free, you can earn Swag Bucks by searching the internet, participating in daily polls, watching videos, etc. You can redeem your Swag Bucks for a variety of prizes including gift cards, video games, and baseball cards. Like I said, it's free to sign up and I just use the search function instead of Google and you randomly earn Swag Bucks with that and then I also get 1 Swag Buck each day from the daily poll. It took my about a month or so, but I earned 680 Swag Bucks and redeemed them for a 1981 Topps Jack Perconte/Mike Scioscia/Fernando Valenzuela rookie card. The card came today (free shipping). I scanned it. It's not a gem mint card, by any means but it is in decent shape and it is 30 years old. Click on the link on the top right hand corner of my blog if you want to sign up. If you sign up through this link then I get credit for it. Check it out and earn some free cards!

Look ma...no hands!

Contest Winnings from Schuyler's Stuff

Schuyler over at Schuyler's Stuff had a contest a week or so ago and I was one of the winners.  He sent me a nice package of cards as my prize. He included some D-Backs, 2011 Topps and Bowman, and a pack of 1992 Leaf. Here are some of the highlights. Thanks Schuyler!

First up, some of the D-Backs: Montero, Finley, and Konrad Scmidt RC.

Next, some of the 2011 stuff: Valverde, Howard, and Reyes.

Lastly, the highlights of the 1992 Leaf pack: Hall of Famers Alomar and Molitor.

Ryan Roberts x4

I picked up these 4 Ryan Roberts 2011 Topps Update parallels on eBay, and they all came this week. I haven't bought any packs of this years Update, so I still need the base and diamond parallel. If anybody out there has them for trade, let me know. Thanks!

Is Justin upton a 5 Tool Talent?

Topps thinks Upton is a 5 Tool Talent and I agree. I picked this card up on eBay recently and got it in the mail today. Who are other current players that you consider to be 5 Tool Talents?

Justin Upton x 2

I picked these cards up separately from different sellers on eBay this past week, but received them both in the mail today. The one on the left is numbered to 60 and I got it for $4.75 shipped. The card on the right is the regular version and I got it for $4.00 shipped. $8.75 for both is not bad if you ask me. I'm picking up singles from this years Update and trying to stay away from packs and boxes. I'll have some more cards to post soon that I picked up on eBay.
