They call me Papoy Shady, I'm back, I'm back (a trade post)

Woohoo, the other day, my brother showed me an app that allows me to use my phone as a scanner. It's not perfect, but it'll do for now, and at least I can show some long overdue cards (and get back to blogging).

My great friend Matt sent me the winnings from our Triple Box break, and this time he chose a box of 2016 Archives. I haven't been paying attention much to this year's late releases and haven't been trading much, which means that was my first glimpse at the product. I'm very late to the party, but I agree with most of you : Topps did a good job on this year's Archives, especially with the 91 Topps design.

A low numbered red parallel is always nice, and there are always Yankees collectors out there I can send that Blomberg card to. I asked Matt to send me the Ron Shelton one, not because of Bull Durham, but more because White men can't jump is one of my all time favorite movies (yeah, I'm such an intellectual). And yes, absolutely, it is one ugly card.

Now, for the trade portion of the package, and we all know how Matt always surprises us with awesome cards that are right on the money as for as our respective collections are concerned :



My very first Warren Moon relic ! I love that card, football jerseys make for interesting cards.


Not every day that Matt sends me some basketball card ! Impossible not to be a fan of Bernard King's, and Immaculate is always a nice looking set.


PC Autos ! A nice on card auto from Scott Rolen (I don't dare look at the number of Rolen autos out there) and my very first Hernandez auto, on a cool UD set \o/


More Pc, this time with great designs and great looking cards (aaaah, those Padres colors)



And finally, your traditional A&G mini framed auto, one of the best ideas they've ever had

Thanks again Matt, and sorry for being away for so long, but this time I'm definitely back, as long as I have cards to show !

  3. The Warren Moon relic is Super Specific! I don't think I've seen that too often on relic cards, when they state the exact date that the jersey was worn. And the Quarterback Challenge is a weird and awesome event to commemorate.
