Trade: Too Many Verlanders

This past weekend I received another great envelope from my Tigers buddy Dennis at Too Many Verlanders.  We are to the point where we know what the other likes and just blindly send cards.  This envelope was a change of pace from the usual Pirates theme as Dennis hooked me up with some great WVU cards.  I don't spend much time on the blog talking about the Mountaineers, but they are a huge part of collection and I actively shop for new pieces all the time.

Dennis did throw in one Pirate card and it was awesome.  Tony Sanchez is a former first round pick and catcher in waiting.  He has seen a decent amount of playing time with the Bucs over the last two seasons, but looks to play a major role next year.  I'm hoping the Pirates will resign Russell Martin, but Tony has shown not to be to over matched at the big league level.  He just needs to improve his defense.

Pat White is the most successful quarterback in WVU history.  He won a bowl game in each of his four years in Morgantown including two BCS wins over Georgia and Oklahoma.  Obviously his pro career didn't go as planned, but he is one of my all time favorites.  A large contingent of fans would like to see his number retired by the University.

 Great looking dual relic auto of the former Mountaineer great Steve Slaton.

I think this is my favorite of the cards Dennis sent my way.  The UD Premier autos are very nice looking cards.

Last but not least is a great manu patch/auto of Slaton.  This is a high end card numbered to /75.  

Thanks for the great cards Dennis.  You caught me off guard with this envelope.  Whenever I get blog mail I automatically think Pirates, so needless to say I was pleasantly surprised.  Look forward to swapping in the near future.
