I am getting away from collecting autos/game used and such for a while as it's getting too expensive for now and I want to concentrate on collecting just the cards from certain players for a while. This seems like it will be less taxing on the wallet (especially when most cards aren't even .25 for these players) and kind of fun as it's like putting a puzzle together.

However, I couldn't resist one last whammy before I exited looking at the autos/game used for a few months. I already have one Mike Schmidt auto but wanted one more, found this one as I was doing a search and got lucky enough to pull it off:

Can't beat an on card auto, especially from a good brand such as SP. Mike has a beautiful auto on that particular card as well. Nice pickup!

Yeah, the auto on the card was big in my eyes. He has a cool signature for sure. I had actually never seen this card on eBay before, but really liked the look of it so I figured I needed to make a push for it!

sweet on card auto! I have been luck enough to pull 2 Schmidt autos..
