Cheap Graph

Went to a card show today and went thru a box of cards that was marked 25 for a $1 could only find 11 so the guy said 40 cents one of the cards was a Mike Hubbard 1995 Signature Rookies Preview card #'d 2815 of 6,000 so what the heck for 3.6 cents.

Free Autographs

I received two autographs in the mail today. I had answered a question on a website last month and had the correct answer and won a Rich Camarillo signed 1992 Topps card I guess it was damaged so Alex who runs the site sent a extra card along with the stated card which was a Royal Rookies Andy Beal certified #'d 1592/2950. I'd like to send a shout out to Alex and here is the link to his site http://www.free-autographs.net/ check it out.
