This I believe is my third trade with Nick, and it happened quite quickly as I had notice he had listed some Donruss 2019 FB for trade. I've found very few trade partners for football on the TCDB site, which for me has been quite surprising.
I do like this set and hope to complete it in the not too distant future, but with the (lack of) speed in which this is happening, I might have to dip into my pocket to finish this up, which I was hoping wouldn't be the case. I still need 126 out of the 350 card set, so if anyone has any extra cards floating around out there, please check out my want list on the TCDB.
The bigger part of the trade was the hockey portion, specifically a 30 card dent into the 2015-16 OPC set.
It was interesting as I scanned the cards how many players since that year have either moved on to other teams or are out of the NHL already. Dougie Hamilton has been traded twice already since he started his career in Boston.
Matt Moulson's career hit the brakes when he moved from the Islanders to Buffalo. It was almost as if the sticks he took with him didn't have any goals in them. I had no idea he signed as a free agent with the Capitals this past summer, but I haven't seen or heard from him since the season began so I guess that he didn't make the club.
My goodness I had no idea that Nick Bonino was a Canuck! One season was all it was though, as he left for Pittsburgh for the 15-16 season, and became part of one of the most famous goal calls ever made in the playoffs for his goal against the Sharks.
Last up, I snagged one of the few Mitch Marner cards I have in that PC, the 2019-20 MVP short print. His cards are going to be crazy expensive because of the crest he wears, so anything I can grab trade wise will be a bonus.
Thank you Nick for the great trade, the cards are appreciated!!
Enjoy the hobby!!

Given how many member's the site has, I too find it surprising to hear that you'd have any trouble finding fellow football collectors to trade with.
