Some recent Oakland A's pickups

And by recent I mean since my old computer broke.  At least a month has passed since I obtained some of these:

IBblog_07Exquisite_RyanSweeneyauto
2007 Exquisite Rookies, Ryan Sweeney quad jersey-rookie autograph, #'d 137/199.  There is a little bit of stripe on the "7."  Yes, it is technically a White Sox card, but he's on the A's now.

IBblog_08SPx_JerryBlevinsgoldauto
2008 SPx, Jerry Blevins rookie auto.  There are both gold and silver versions, but there's no numbering scheme to differentiate them.  I think they are of the same rarity too.  How pointless.

IBblog_09BowmanDPP_MaxStassirefractorauto
2009 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects, Max Stassi refractor autograph.  Um.  I think it's numbered to 500.

IBblog_2010BowmanPlatinum_IanKrolgreenauto_103199
2010 Bowman Platinum, Ian Krol, green refractor auto #'d 103/199.  The card came with a nice, big fingerprint smudge over Krol's face.  What the hell, man?  Why do so many eBayers have grubby-ass fingers?  I never leave smudged hand prints on cards.

I just realized that these are all rookie or prospects cards.  Oh, and two more days until Opening Day!  More of these kinds of posts to come, as I get caught up.
