I'm not going to direct you to an auction item today. Instead, I'm going to regale you with a story of profound personal triumph. While walking the dog this morning, I chanced to look down and there on the ground were the items you see below: 2013 Topps cards for Prince Fielder and Mark Reynolds. They were just there, roaming free in nature. Free-range baseball cards, if you will - and I captured them and made them mine.

So, the lesson here is this: Not everything of value is for sale on your precious internet - although most of it is. These just happen to be two of the exceptions.
