Massive Murad Haul

Well, maybe not so massive, but it's a definite lift up in the conquest to conquer the Murad Monster.

I tried a different route this time around.  I went to Check Out My Cards to get these.  I like the way the site works.  It's not auction style - but I know by now what's a decent price for Murad relic and lower level autos.  And I like the fact that the site let me buy them and save them until I had enough built up to ship them all at once to save on shipping.

Seriously, I'm becoming a shipping miser.  It's amazing how much farther a couple of bucks can go when you can combine shipping.

In any event, here's what I got in this go-round.  The needs-list has been updated.  Please look to see if you have anything I might need.

In this round, I got the Manu Ginobli relic, Michael Redd relic, Earl Monroe relic and the Maggette auto.

I really like the Monroe relic.  I like the old school players' look on these cards.

The Maggette card was an easy pick-up.  The lower level autos are surprisingly cheap.  I watched a Bill Russell Murad auto sell on ebay....and let's just say that that card alone may have taken out six months of my collecting budget.  But I'm not discouraged - it's just another challenge that I'll have to overcome.

SIDE NOTE:  I can't believe this has happened to me.  But after writing this post, and going through my binder, I found out that I bought Manu Ginobli twice.  I have no idea how this happened.  I'm usually so careful.  If there are any Manu fans out there, let me know - I'll just shoot you the card.  If I don't have any takers in the next couple of days - I'll have to relist it.  Of all the cards I'd love to have two of, I got freaking Manu.
