Hector Trinidad

I bought this 1995 Signature Rookies Autograph card # 35 #'d 652/6,000 of Hector Trinidad total cost shipped was 75 Cents.  The guy definitely lost money on this since it was 70 cents to mail and I paid with paypal which has a 25 cent transaction fee minimum.  But I will always take a cheap auto I didn't have. Hector was in the Cubs and Twins systems and only got as high as AA ball.
