I went to Boston and all I got was a lousy baseball card
That’s definitely the way it felt after last night’s loss. Before heading up to Fenway Park, I thought the only thing that could be worse than the last two nights was the Yankees getting no hit. I was wrong. The Yankees were absolutely humiliated last night.
However, I came away a winner and in the end that’s all that matters.
As Marie and I stepped into the Boston team store across Yawkey Way from Fenway, we found some baseball cards. For the most part, everything was insanely overpriced. $35 for $20 blasters, $25 for $10 cereal boxes of Topps.
But, they also had some loose cards that were priced, strangely, for a decent price.
Then, I saw this little winner:
It’s a 2009 Topps Heritage Chrome Refractor (73/560). For the low, low price of $1.
Yes, $1.
Red Sox hate the Yankees so much that they are practically giving away these cards. Nice!

Haha – I guess that makes sense. There aren’t many fans in Boston who would want an A-Rod card …
man i wish i could find that price on ebay. been trying to get that card for awhile.
Dave has the angle here. I would be interested to see what they would have priced any non Yankee player.
I’ll trade it for a Jeter Chrome Refractor …
– The only other card I remember in the case was a Nick Swisher (Oakland) jersey card. $5.
