Card of the Day - 2001 SP : Don Drysdale Legendary Cuts Bat Relic

I had Don's autograph on a ball but have never owned a card of his. I set out to correct that issue.

Back in the day Don was one hell of a pitcher but unlike most pitchers he was great with th bat as well. He was the Zack Grienke before Zack was around. Don still holds the record for most home runs in a single season by a pitcher.

I could get any old card of Don but I wanted something a tad more special. Found this relic card for a reasonable price and put my bid in and waited till the end of the auction to see if I would win it. With my bid being the only one I won this plain but great looking card. Nice to finally have a Don card in the collection.

Card of the Day - 2001 SP : Darren Dreifort Chirography Autograph

Trolling around on eBay for cheap, older autograph cards of former Dodgers and this one popped up on my radar. Darren will go down as one of the biggest disappointments in draft history for the Dodgers. The one thing I can respect him for though is even though he was often injured he always tried to come back and contribute to the team. Thanks for trying Darren.

Anyways, I had not acquired an autograph of Darren yet as he was not a priority and to be quite honest I forgot about looking for him on eBay. Ran a generic search for Dodger autographs and this card came up. Buyer had it as an auction with an asking starting price of $5. That is my cap for any non-star, non limited, non special etc card so if I could pick it up at that price, great, and if not I would pass. Not a single bid on it when the final day rolled around and close to the end of the auction I put my bid in for $5 and won it for that amount. Nothing special about the card particularly but a great looking signature by Darren. A nice addition to the collection.
