Trade: HSCA Delivers Some Wow

This post was meant for yesterday, but the Pirates/Cubs extra inning game got the best of me. Oh Boy, Brian of HSCA fame sure outdid himself on this one. The bubble mailer had only 6 cards, but they packed a punch. Our blind trading has forgone quantity and went straight to the big guns.

A high end Cutch to start things off. I've done pretty well adding cards from NT the last year, but strike out when it comes to Cutch. Very thankful to receive his cards via trade.

I hear this Clemente guy was good. Here I am thinking that Cutch can't be topped and this card pops out. A 69 Topps Deckle is a nice trade piece for sure!

 Now the big guns are out. The photographer of this card probably had to shoe off thousands of women waiting to meet the legend. Little does he know the greatness that is in store for him.

One of my prized Cutch autos is the eTopps variation that are almost impossible to find. With that being said I did not own the base which is /999. These rarely pop up anymore and seem to be having a little resurgence on the secondary market. 

Old school sticker!

I smiled pretty big when I saw this card. This  is one of my white whales and has been one of the more illusive cards for me to secure. Over the years I've lost a handful of auctions for this card. Thanks to Brian I can retire this from the list. 

Thanks so much for the great cards Brian. I have a blast swapping back and forth with you. I'll continue my hunt for unique Twins! 

Thanks for reading.
