Jeurys Familia Pick Ups

I've always had Familia fever dating back to last season.I still,vehemently believe that without Jeurys,we don't even smell the playoffs In 2015.Looking through his cards on E bay,I realized that  many of his autos are pretty low priced.We're talking In the 5 to 15 dollar range.I  missed out on his first year Bowman auto,someone beat me to It,but It sold for like 7 bucks. I was able to snag up this 2013 Topps Tier One On The Rise Autographs,numbered 060/399, for 6 bucks and some change.Probably because the auto Isn't centered,knowing how finicky card collectors can be.I'll be on the lookout for more In the future ,If the prices don't jump.

Since I didn't win the auto I went for the base chrome.I'm happy with It. 

Insane Game Last Night!Mets Clinch!

Needless to say ,today was a good day.All because of last nights Mets victory over the Reds to clinch the NL East.I've been wrecking my brain a little ,trying to determine who the team MVP should be.And then It hit me.It's really a no brainer imo.Jeurys the Damaja!Jeurys Familia for those not hip to NY City 90's Hip Hop.With 42 saves on the season,there's no telling where this team would be right now had It not been for Familia stepping up big and taking over the closer spot when Mejia tested positive for PED's.If you were to take away just a quarter of the total amount of  saves from Familia this year, I'm not so sure we end up In first.He's the unsung hero that never got alot of headlines,and should have.A gentle giant on the mound,Familia shows minimal emotion out there after every save,but manages to get the job done whenever called upon .The truth Is,every Met gave It their all this year and this division win was truly a team effort. Now I can relax and stop checking my phone compulsively for score updates until playoff time :)

Singles Only

A few of my latest pick ups include  a couple of  catchers In Molina and Posey,a beast named  Bryce and monster closer ,Jeurys Familia.  

I've been trying to corrall  some of Molinas earlier cardboard.The other day on Evilbay ,I stumbled across this 2005 Donruss Studio beauty!I'm still on the look out for his  rookie.

I have developed an admiration  for any established star's rookie cup Topps card. Maybe It's more of an addiction as I've got a few others cued up on Ebay as I type.I still need rookies of both Harper and Posey.

Familia has been lights out with the Mets this season.I would have never thought that he'd emerge as one of the leagues most dominant closers . Glad I was able to snag up a Familia rookie of the chrome kind.
