Cheap thrills

I picked up a few very cheap modern lots of cards from an eBay seller. Total $3 shipped. Worth the price for some random shiny new cards.

These were a bunch of free-shipping auctions that started at a penny. Seller must have misjudge the popularity for these. Trent Grisham was the one that caught my eye. He came to the Yankees as a throw-in to the Juan Soto deal. Grisham is 0-for-3 so far but Soto has certainly transformed the team. (4-0!) I guess it was a good strategy to get a guy in his walk year, get his best season most likely. Back to these Grisham cards, the pink X-fractor is a standout here. 

Ketel Marte of the D-Backs. Not a player I know much about. Just looked at his stats and they are quite good, a power-hitting second baseman. Hitting .462 this year. Lots of shiny cards here.

Jesse Winker is a journeyman outfielder, now with the Nationals and hitting .375 to start the year. They look the same in the photo but there is a purple parallel and a dark blue parallel.

A whole lot of purple Padres. These are apparently Meijer exclusives. I've never been inside a Meijer. According to the website the nearest one is 700 miles away. A couple of dupes here that are good trade bait, maybe.

And finally a whole lot more Padres. A lot of people hate the Padres. Heck, the one Padres fan blogger I can think of doesn't even like them anymore. I guess that's why these were so cheap. I have no strong feeling about them one way or the other, though, so I'm happy to add these.
