Ebay - Picking Up Some Minors of the Majors

I managed to pick up several minor league cards from Ebay the other week featuring two of Australia's more recent MLB debutantes. Both pitchers debuted in 2011, Josh Spence with the San Diego Padres, whilst Shane Lindsay debuted with the Chicago White Sox. The Card of the Buy™ goes to Spence 2011 San Antonio Missions card, mainly due to the fact that despite playing 51 games in the majors, Spence has very few cards to his name, so being the oldest of the few of his cards puts it above the other two in my collectability stakes.

Inaugural COMC Motherload Part 7 - The Pitchers

This is part seven of my attempt to document my initial large load of cards ordered from COMC. This batch includes 11 cards of Australian pitchers who have all recently appeared in the Majors at some point over the last couple of seasons. These include current Texas Ranger Travis Blackley, current LA Dodger Peter Moylan, Josh Spence, who made his MLB debut for the Padres in 2011, and former Aussie MLB pitchers Shane Lindsay, Ryan Rowland-Smith and Phil Stockman.

The Card of the Buy™ goes to the Hyphen - the Ryan Rowland-Smith 2007 Upper Deck Future Stars card for being an autographed rookie card of one of the Aussie pitchers I particularly like.
