Bid early, bid often.

No Miguel Cabrera collection would be complete without...

I realize many of you have probably all ready seen this but I can't help but chuckle and scratch my head sometimes.

Wow. Marc really will sell anything he can get his hands on!!

As a die hard Tigers fan for over 25 years, it sucks that I can't collect anything from the current team due to the oversaturization of memorabilia.

Don't get me wrong...Marc and the Tigers Authentics department do a fine job of making some really cool pieces available (at a hefty price IMO), but there's just way too much out there. Hell, I went to a game two weeks ago and saw at least 8-10 Gary Sheffield jerseys at $200-$250 each.

In no way am I trying to badmouth Marc or the GU department; they are in place to make money for the team and I can't fault them for it...I just really miss the days of Steve Graus running the Authentics department!

Well, that's a first. Would be even better if it was signed with um...another Sharpie :rolleyes:

Makes me wonder if this is a humorous little dig at collectors.
