What Does 25 Bucks Getcha? (Part 1)

Yet another new segment here on C4K. This one involves eBay and a 25 dollar pre-paid credit card. Let me explain. We had some visitors come up here to beautiful BC from beautiful Oregon. As a kind gesture for opening our home up to them they gave me a gift (along with the rest of the family). I was fortunate enough to score a 25 dollar pre-paid Visa card. I knew exactly what I was gonna do with it! Right away I signed myself up for eBay joined Paypal and off I went. So what does 25 bucks get ya? Let's see.

First I set out a mental plan. My strategy was to go for cheap "Buy It Now" auctions, grab cards in lots instead of singles, and most importantly free shipping! I'm currently making my final purchase with my last few dollars left but have only received one of my many packages coming my way.

Without further a due my first card is...

1978-79 OPC Curt Ridley (#302)

This was a very important card to add to my Goalie Project. Card isn't in terrible shape (trust me there are worse coming) but I'm not one to really care on old cards and old cards only. Here Curt is sporting the original Nucks gear, but from the logo in the top left corner it looks like this was the year they were switching over to the spaghetti bowl flying skate logo and the classic flying V front (nah I'm just kidding I love those old jerseys).

So after this first eBay purchase this is what's left on my card:

(1.00) Paypal membership

(0.99 + Free Shipping) 1978-79 OPC Curt Ridley (#302)
