Canadians

This has been one busy week. Between finishing up outside projects, hosting friends this weekend and fiscal year responsibilities at work it has left little time for cards. My hope is Saturday to take a couple hours to package up some cards and ship to some of my blog friends. I've purposefully been holding back on some trades as I knew I would be hard pressed for time. Rest assured that I'm stocked and ready to go. Hopefully many of you will be getting something from me very soon! 

I found a new Bay!

2007 Finest Jason Bay/Justin Morneau Auto /74

Card companies loved putting Jason Bay and Justin Morneau on cards together. I have several autographs featuring both guys in my collection. Must be a perfect storm of them both being Canadian and peaking at the same time.

I actually paid more to ship this card than I did for the card itself. For about $6.50 I was able to add a card that for some reason eluded me for around 8 years. I found the numbering on the card to be odd. I'll just assume 74 has some secret Canadian meaning. 

Thanks for reading!

Diamond Signings

2005 Fleer Classic Clippings Kotchman/Morneau/Bay Triple Auto /86

I was trying to find a common denominator for the three players featured on this card, but failed to find something.  Bay and Morneau are both from Canada so that was my first initial thought, but Kotchman is from the US.  I took a gander at draft year as well, but those were different too.  The card is even serial numbered to a weird number (86).

This was a pretty big card back when Bay and Morneau were both playing at a high level.  I know I picked this up much later than 2005, but can't remember the price.  My favorite part of the card is how nice the signatures look for each player.  I hope to showcase a few Bay cards in the new few weeks as I have some unique ones in my collection.

I'll be putting some trade packages in the mail in the morning.  As always if you have some Pirates let me know and we can work out a trade.
