So something funny happened on my way to my desk.
I had a pile of cards waiting to be scanned and shown here, and all of a sudden, I decided it would be a good idea to just make it fall. To the ground. Where it all got mixed up. The problem, you see, is that I had several trade packages on that pile. Which means that now I have no idea who sent me what. So I'll just write one post that will include all cards, and apologize to The Italian Completist and to Jeff from I wish they still came with bubble gum who were nice enough to send me all this and whom I can't properly thank !
Ah well.
Those things happen.
That will teach me not to be so far behind on my trade posts. Sorry guys !
Oh, and on a side note, I've been dancing and jumping up and down since yesterday to celebrate the true beginning of spring. It's about time !
It's always fun to receive oddballs or other objects that have to do with your collection. Here's a spring training ticket from last year !
Old Topps needs
An on card auto of what appears to be a big prospect, now with the Tigers (in the Norris deal) and more prospects. I really like that hypnotizing Delgado, and this is my first Slurpee coin.
Gold Glovers, Big Hurt, Bo and Winfield ! Some really nice cards in the mix from the last 30 years
Building those sets one card at a time, thanks to bloggers' generosity
While I'm at it, Matt forwarded me some cards sent to him by Brian from Play at the plate (#SUPERTRADERS). There was also a stack of (awesome) cards sent by Wes, that I'll be showing off in a separate post.
A little bit of everything there, all are appreciated (yes, even those ugly Classic cards, that actually look better than modern day Donruss. Which says a lot)!
Stickers and Olerud...in a Mets uniform. But it's ok, it's a player I really like and I agree, he looks better wearing Blue Jays colors. Plus, it's the first time I see one of those Fleer Brilliants cards, and they look nice !
Thanks a lot Brian for thinking of me ! And thanks again Matt for serving as the middle man.
