The Silent Bunch: A Reader Trade

Before I started Bob Walk the Plank I was a frequent reader of some of the more established blogs on the blogosphere. I rarely commented, but I was very active. I often thought about trading, but figured I would start my own blog first. My buddy Peter did what I couldn't do.

Peter stumbled onto my blog a few months back and we immediately had a successful swap. After a little time away we are back doing what we do best....swapping cardboard! Peter must have been hoarding Buccos for me as he sent a ton.  This is just a small sample.
A beautiful refractor /150 of top Pirates prospect Tyler Glasnow. Tyler has been rocketing through the Pirate system and has been earning tons of praise from the leagues top talent evaluators.
 Peter knows I love Poloanco!
Cole seems to be breaking out in a big way so far this year. The sky is the limit for him. I'm a big fan of the Finest set.
A nice mix of Chrome Buccos. It was sad to see Martin go, but it was nice to see him get his big payday. The Blue Jays went all Godfather on him and gave him an actual offer he couldn't refuse. I'm kind of glad we didn't give the 5 years.

It finally looks like Harrison is showing signs of life. He and Cutch got off to a dreadful start which is a big reason the Pirates have been hovering around .500 most of the year. 


The 88 Donruss Walk is the epitome of man. Men want to be Bob Walk the ladies want to be with him.


It has been nice to see Steve Pearce do well in Baltimore. When he was in the Pirates system he absolutely killed the ball. Unfortunately for the Pirates it never translated to the big league club. He was given several opportunities, but never gained any traction because of injury and ineffectiveness. 


Here is look at the sum of cards Peter sent! Nothing like receiving a big box of cards in the mail. 

Thanks again Peter for the cards and for reaching out to me. Looking forward to hitting you up soon with some Yankees. 

Thanks for reading.

  1. Great cards, Matt. You have to feel for Polanco the way today's game ended...he looked like a little kid falling down out there.

    1. That was heartbreaking to lose that way. Hopefully some of the vet guys helped him out.

  3. Actually work on the weekends with Pearce's Aunt good to see him crushing.

    Saw Polanco sign for a bunch of kids walking to the clubhouse at a Rays spring game after getting pulled. Ump had to kick him off field.

    1. He seems to have a level head about him. I've never seen him argue a call or be demonstrative in any way.
