Trades aplenty

There was a bit of a lull in trading for a while on the home front, totally understandable with all that's gone on the past couple of months.  But business has picked up again, and I've got a trio of small trades to show off this evening.

First up is three cards from new trade partner Wayne (TCDB ID: family1), who took some 2003 Topps inserts off of my hands and sent me some Olerud and Thome PC cards.


I had to look closer at the third card, the Upper Deck hitters club card, to see what it was that is written halfway up the card.  Apparently, UD thought it a good idea to have Jim's career batting average stenciled on his hip pocket.  At least .287 was a reasonably good enough number to have there, it could have been a lot worse.

Another 3 card trade was care of another new trade partner, J.D. (TCDB ID: CSUBiochem).  J.D. took some cards off my hands and set me these from this years homage to '85 Topps.


This set is coming along OK, I'm now up to 37 out of the 100 cards, but it's also not a major priority at the moment as there's plenty of other sets on the go.

Last but not least is another trade with a 3rd new trade partner, Dan (TCDB ID: DMarcketta), who sent me these 2 Green GQ beauties.


This green set has been a favorite since I laid eyes on it last year, and the amount of cards I've pulled in already may be testament to that love.  231 out of 300 are in hand and I have 3 more on the way from another trade in process.  There's a good shot of getting this completed this year if I set my mind to it.

Thank you to all 3 for the trades, they are appreciated!!

Enjoy the hobby and stay safe!!

  1. Tough one here.

    I like the Merrifield but he's already 31, so his career numbers won't be very impressive.

    I like the Iglesias but the red and green give it a Christmas vibe.

    So I'm voting for the Mancini. Italian dude sporting the Irish orange and green.
