Welcome to Ion Enterprises! Coins, Cards and Collectibles! Bargains for discriminating collectors

We have finished listing some real interesting Red Sox cards as well as having a few ending soon! We have just listed one of the best David Ortiz game used cards we have ever had the pleasure of presenting. It is a 2007 Topps Triple Threads Emerald game used cards. It is numbered 16 of only 18 in existance! It has the words ALCS MVP '04 diecut around the memeroiablia slot bottoms. Another it we have just listed is a 2003 Manny Ramirez Piece of the game jersey numbered 10 or 50. Added into this mix is a 2007 UD Masterpieces box topper of vintage great Bobby Doerr. Also ending in a little more than a day we have a 2007 Bowman Heriatge black GU jersey of Manny Ramierz that only 52 of them were created and 2 Dice-K rookie cards!

Mark has had me post the next series up. Featuring many 2007 Upper Deck SP Chirography autographs featuring many rookie cards. This lost should also be a fan favorite for anyone who likes America's team, the Dallas Cowboys as there is both a Tony Romo Rookies and Stars Red Series limited edition game used jersey piece as well as a Chirography autographed card of Drew Pearson. Sprinkled into this mix is a few autographed draft cards from the 2007 Donruss Elite Extra Edition baseball set. On a personal note, Ion Enterprises extends congratulations to the New England Patriots for their 16-0 Perfect regular season. We sell many Tom brady, Randy Moss, and other Patriots cards offline (most are just 25 cents to 50 cents so it doesnt pay to list them on ebay but we do sales through mail), just email me with what you are looking for!

I just cracked another box of 2007 Bowman Heritage. No autographs this time but to make up for it, I got a black game used Manny Ramirez 51/52, A black Mickey Mantle (#4 of the series) 1/52 among the usual chrome and rookie cards. I added 2 more Dice-K rookies and a Joba Chamberlain Rookie Card to the store from it as well. Feel free to ask what else I have pulled and I will go into my fleamarket inventory for you! DonRuss Elite Extra Edition was a nice surprise, I got a ton of great looking draft cards and rookie basketball draft cards. Plus there are a few other sport surprises in there too including a Mike Powell lacrosse card that sold fast! Got several autographs from the set and most already sold out of inventory since I listed them and some down at market but if you are looking for a hot prospect let me know. Last but not least I highly recommend the TriStar Pro Prospects Minor League Card. Not for the look but for the soon to be rookies. A great crop in here and these can be picked up in either the hobby version (1 auto per pack, $12-$15 per pack) or retail (3 more cards per pack, 1 auto per box, $3 per pack, better for set makers!). I have a few autos being listed tonight plus the current green draft card (Travis SNider) that I currently have online. I have extras of base cards from both this years and last years so give me a shout if you need a hand with your set and I will see if I can hook you up!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the staff of Ion Enterprises! We will be posting some new goodies later this evening for your buying enjoyment.

Spin4cards had me list a few new commission items tonight. Among them are some 2006 UD Limited rookies cards including AJ Hawk. There are also 2 redemption autographs for Leaf Limited rookies ( Eric Wright and Charles Johnson) as well as several nice draft pieces from Brian Leonard, Calvin Johnson, Michael Bush and other 2007 draft picks. Add to this rookies from 2007 UD Trilo3y and 2 redmption autos for Selvin Young Autographs (these always sell out fast!). As an added bonus, he pulled a 3rd Andre Ware Auto from 2007 Press Pass Legends and these sell extremely well. So feel free to take a look and remember, I sell for anyone on commission at the cost of all fees and 15% (10% if garenteed that item will sell higher than $50) which is one of the lowest listing services to be found!

I will be adding some older and vintage baseball and football cards in the near future. Already featured on here are Ken Griffey Jr. Rookies, Dale Murphy 2nd year and a few choice inserts. Will add a few more tonight such as a Jim Palmer 1980 topps. These cards are ranging in condition from filler to mint near mint.

This isnt a personal blog of mine, its my business one so those searching for my personal thoughts on matters outside of my business influence will need to contact me in email for the address. As for mis-spellings, misquotes, bad punctuations and the like, let me just through this one piece of personal info out there for everyone. I have suffered for all my life with a learning disability as well as being bi-polar. The pressure growing up was an incredible strain on my life. I was told in Jr. High by a real jerk of a concilor, a real bad principle and the school psychologist that I would most likely drop out during highschool, I would never be able to do higher level education, college was out of the question and that my parents better put me in a BOCES vocational program. Of course, this didnt help the bi-polar part of my self image. The only good thing was an understanding for the most part family and a few outstanding teachers at Westhill Highschool (I wont like to personally thank the following from Westhill - Mr. Manolescu, Miss Sally Button, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Deforest, Mr. Dywer, Mrs. Shelly, Mr. Whipple, Mr. PAternetti (SP), Mr. Lemmo, Mr. Legacy, Ms. Gilmore and a few others who I cant remember right now). I managed to graduate highschool with a B+ average and passed 2 Project Advanced computer classes (also a special thanks there to Kristen Casavant, Sandra Lavigne, Patty Burns and LArry Slosberg - being the first class in it, we didnt do too shabby!). I then went onto OCC and later Bryant and Stratton College. I hold an AS in 2 majors with 2 minors as well as an AOS in accounting from B&S. I currently operate as an Office Automation Support Technician for the city. Not bad for someone declared to never be more than a manual labor sort of guy. Getting back to about the blog, any mistakes arent due to ignorance, unless I go extremely slow, my mind says one thing and my hands do something else but my mind doesnt see it. Sometimes it seemes so right that even after I look at it a second time I still post it. Usually I use spell check and grammar check but its not available here nor at my other blog. On my other blog I really don't care and whip through it and tell others its just shooting from the hip and will not be editted. On here I am making a concentrated effort to make sure its correct in English phrasing but I can't make any garentees so I ask everyone to please be understanding and not to keep sending emails about my mistakes, I know I am making them and I am sorry about it. Sincerely, Timothy Marsch Only human or atleast mostly human

Its time for baseball fans, collectors and dealers to weigh in on the Mitchell report. Barry Bonds - no surprise, Jose Canseco - read his book, Jason Giambi - already came clean, Roger Clemens - kind of geussed it but Andy Pettite and Gary Sheffield? There were quite a few shocks sent through the net when this report hit the system. In many cases the question is why. After all, steriods may give mass but it doesnt give strength nor ability. But also a drug is a drug and shouldnt be used in the first place without a doctor's supervision. Used wrong and they break down the system of the user (case in point, the many injuries that bonds has had to his shoulder and Giambi's "mystery" serious illness). Any drug, no matter what it is, should not be in use without a legit reason, with a doctor's prescription, for a limited time and only for the reason prescribed. Internet pharmacies also should be banned as anyone can get anything without supervision. We keep hearing about the problems in the WWE / Wrestling in relation to this and their so called "wellness program" but all sports need to get a grip on this. Granted, these people have not been found guilty in court and deserve the right to defend themselves but the ultimate punishment will be in the future with stars and MVPS blacklisted by the voters from getting into the hall of fame. We agree the punishment needs to fit the crime but there is a sticky legal problem and thats these were not originally illegal so where do you use as a cut off point? And going forward, there needs to be enforcement and treatment and for repeat offenders barring from their sport. Its time everyone is held accountable and we salute Mitchell for doing his best without the ability to force players into testifing. As for my personal policy, until a player is found guilty, I will continue to list their cards. When found guilty, the only ones I will list are for either charity or commisson work.

Due to the actual exchange rate between the US and Canada shifting, Canadian Currency is on par and breifly higher than Aemrican! This change in rates has also helped the collectors of Canadian coins as they have started an upward trend in collectibility. Therefore I am placing a limited amount of Canadian year sets in the store for those who want to get into this investment while you can!

Last nights wwe 15th anniversary of Raw was incredible. So many faces from the past, many high impact shots, new tag team champions in Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes and local boy IRS almost won the battle royal (technically he did but was paid to lose it to Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase). Loved see Trish Stratus and Lita back in action as well as the beer bash at the end. To celebrate 15 years of raw and the end of the Raw Deal CCG, we will soon be placing online the remainder of our inventory in one bag, win it auction starting at a penny.
