I am retired

i have officially retired from sportscards (unlike most athletes who say it, i really am retiring so i can spend more time with my family).  i will be having one final sale in november, but the number of lots will be limited, and i will not be able to customize your order (you will, however, be getting a great deal)

thanks for everything over the years

39 days, $1500

39 days, 1500 dollars.  That's the goal.

As many of you know, I have a charity - Project Cupid - that raises funds for cancer research and care at Dana Farber and The Jimmy Fund.  Over the past few years, we have raised over 100 thousand dollars.

Starting today, im stepping up:  for the next 39 days, 100% of my normal auction will go to my Jimmy Fund Walk team.  That's correct:  100%.   There is no difference in what you get now:  you still get 7x's your bid, cards are all still worth at least 1 dollar or more each (most are 3 or more), cards will average at least 4 each.  specials and bonuses are listed below

there are three ways to pay:



My preferred way, for right now:

Make a donation directly to my Jimmy Fund donation page.  To cover shipping, please add an additional 3 dollars to your donation (no matter how many lots you are ordering).  The only way to donate directly is with a credit card.  Please email me after your donation with your shipping information.

So, here's the thing:  i started my new job 6 weeks ago, and when i get home, i got my 7 month old waiting for me.  And if im choosing between working more and spending time with my boy, that isnt even a choice.  And by the time he goes to bed, i get a couple hours with my wife, or time to get stuff done around the house.

You probably havent received an email from me in over a month.  I havent had a monthly drawing since March.  It's taking me longer to get orders out.  Simply put:  i just havent had the time or interest in pursuing the whole sportscard thing lately.

That being said...daycare is bleeping expensive.






















for every 10 lots you buy from now until the end of July, you will be entered into a drawing for a Mike Trout PSA/DNA autographed ball
