Cards from Jaybarkerfan's Card Shop


I think Wes from Jaybarkerfan’s Junk has a card shop that he isn’t telling us about. Wes sent me another flat rate box full of Yankees last week. I’m not certain how he has this many Yankee cards from so many different years. My explanation – he has a shop and has been cleaning out the back rooms...you know, the one with tons of boxes of cards from the ‘90s and early 2000s?

Nothing else could explain where Wes gets and store all these cards. My collection of new Yankees has certainly grown by leaps and bounds because of his generosity. Just look at all the team bags stuffed to the brim! Each one was a great time to go through.

Here is a very small selection of the goodies he sent. There were two on card autos! It would take too long to scan everything, so here’s an assortment of cards I particularly enjoyed:

Non-crap from Arbitrary Crap


When I announced that the Lost Collector Junior had arrived, Martyn from Arbitrary Crap asked for my address and said that he’d send a card. I was blown away. Here is a blogger I had yet to build a trade rapport with yet offering to send a card.

We talked a little, and turned it into a trade, as Martyn had a cool Melky Mesa auto that caught my eye. I haven’t been able to add Mesa’s auto to my collection, so a certified one is the way to go. Mesa is a toolsy outfielder who can’t seem to put it all together yet.


The card that Martyn sent Joey was a Mark Teixeira leather nameplate. Way above and beyond anything he needed to do. Couple this with the Teixeira relic that Robert sent, and Joey all the sudden had a nice little Tex PC going on.


Martyn tossed in three other cards, including an Ivan Nova RC and a shin ARod. Martyn, thanks again!
