Lots of pairs happening here as I have 2 trades to show off (for lack of a better phrase) today, and another pair for the next post, hopefully tomorrow. First up is someone that a lot of you know from Twitter, Jenny (TCDB ID: JennyMiller521). We completed a relatively small trade for our first go on the TCDB site, sending 5 cards her way for a half dozen A&G wants from 2017.
No really huge stars here, but for me it was good to get Joey Bats as he was a favorite of mine during his time with the Jays. I'm making slow progress on this set, with these 6 bringing the total to 185 out of the 350 needed for the set. That means there's a lot of base cards to go before the remainder of the SPs get tackled.
Next up I grabbed a few cards from a set I've barely started, 2015-16 OPC hockey.
This represents just over 1/4 of what I have so far for this set, with just 54 cards in hand so far. This trade came from repeat trade partner Nick (TCDB ID: tenlbpain) and cost me a bunch of dupes that I'm sure that Nick can make better use of. I have a lot of want lists for the modern OPC sets, and at 600 cards for each set, it'll take me a while to get them all together, but the challenge is what all set builders enjoy, isn't it?
I've already hit the 25 trade mark for 2020 with 4 still in the pipeline, and 2 active offers. I wasn't sure what this year would bring after a big trade year in 2019, but if the first 6 weeks is indicative on how this year will be, I could surpass last year's total.
I can live with that...
Enjoy the hobby!

Nice you found someone to trade hockey with on TCDB. It seems more baseball than anything, which isn't terrible.
ReplyDeleteI've actually found quite a few hockey traders on TCDB. Surprisingly, more than I have football...
DeleteThat's good news. I have found very few football collectors that build sets. Most just want autos.
Delete2015-16 OPC hockey has a solid design.
