The Contest Continues: Burbank Sports Cards Pickups

I had to take advantage of the brilliant singles selection at Burbank Sports Cards when I was down in Pasadena last week. Be sure to enter in the post below for a chance to win three hobby packs of Topps Lineage! The winner will be announced tonight.

Here's a Lincecum rookie, a nice green chrome Heritage refractor, and some sportflics. There's also a Deacon Jones and a Sam Bradford rookie.
Here are some Rams hits I picked up:
Laurinaitis is one of the best MLB's in the league, and most Upper Deck Heroes autos are a bargain no matter the sport.

Here's my first Sam Bradford hit.

Deacon Jones is the best pass rusher of all time, but unfortunately he played before sacks were recorded.


Aeneas Williams is one of my favorite players and these Topps Chrome Pro Bowl relics are pretty rare.

Here's a beauty I picked up, a 1948 Kenny Washington. Washington reintegrated the NFL after WWII when racial barriers were lifted on pro football. Washington joined the Rams two years before his UCLA teammate Jackie Robinson broke out with the Dodgers. Washington could have been as great as Robinson, but NFL teams passed on him until he was 28 and suffered serious injuries in the Pacific Coast Professional Football League. It's a shame that Washington's story isn't more well known.

For three entries into the final drawing:
I need to start selling some cards on eBay, so it would really help me out if you could leave a comment linking me to a guide or giving me some advice on starting out as a seller on eBay. Thanks!
