since he was down to my 5th starter, and his asking price is ridiculously high thanks to those White Sox missions, I decided to put my Ted Lyons card up for auction (picked him up for 8K about two months ago)....
15 minutes later he sells for the BIN price of 45K (maybe I should have asked for more
)... as Krusty the Clown said once: "they drove a dump truck full of money up to my house.... I'm not made of stone"
time to go shopping
