Picked this bad boy up on eBay with some of the proceeds generated from the Goodwin Tiger relic sale.
2009 Bowman Chrome #179 orange refractor #01/25
What better color for a refractor of an Oriole star than orange? I hereby declare that all Oriole cards be orange refractors. It won't matter that they're numbered to 25, they're still Orioles cards, and no one will want them but me (and a handful of other equally awesome people who deserve it for loving a team that has been this bad for this long).
I figured out that the sweet spot on my scanner for optimal refractor scans is right smack dab in the middle.

That is one AWESOME Markakis card!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet card. The only thing that would make it better is if it was Sizemore or Big League Choo.
ReplyDeleteOrange refractors were invented for Orioles.
ReplyDeleteI found that auction and I'm surprised the seller didn't mention in the title that it was #1/25. That normally carries a premium.
Also, when will you learn to start sniping? It didn't cost you anything this time, but you increased the apparent high bid from 4.65 to 12.50 a good two hours before the end of the auction.
