With the release of Allen and Ginter 2012 edition, I took the opportunity to try and score a nice small mini set from the 2011 group. When I first pulled one of these flora cards from a blaster, it just caught me up. There's something really neat about these cards, and I was determined to complete the set. And then I saw the prices of the cards on eBay, and my heart sank. They are sweet cards, but not for the price range I was seeing. Well, I waited and when 2012 hit the stores, the prices on the 2011 cards really tanked, these flora included. I have picked up 3 of the 4 needed to finish off the 5 card set, and I think the 3 cards, total with shipping, have cost me under $15. I'll pay a fin for this card, as opposed to $20 plus a year ago. Well, as I said, I have 4 of 5. The fifth is proving to be a pain. I have now tried at 3 auctions for the Mexican Hat, and each time, something in my life keep me away from my computer when the auction ends, and I fail to land the card. The winning bids have been $1.54, $1.26 and $2.01. Ok - I usually start at like a buck eleven or something, just to put it on my radar, but then life becomes life, the auction ends and I get the email that makes me sick for how low someone snagged the card.
So if you have a Mexican Hat mini, think of me. My email is in my profile - let's talk. Otherwise, this song will be ringing through my ears for years. My eyes will be happy, but still...
