I'm in the midst of quite the mail week. It is a cool feeling when people just send you cards out of the blue. My scanner is working overtime this week which is a beautiful thing.
A couple weeks back Julie hit me up on Twitter to ask me if I would like this card.....
Yes Please!!!!! This jersey from Ginter even has a nice stripe. Nice change of pace from this set as many of the relics are very boring.
Of course Julie didn't stop at just the Ginter relic.
I'm a sucker for any portrait/canvas cards out there. Topps Gallery has long been a favorite of mine. It kind of looks like a little league field in the background.
I had to actually go look this set up to jog my memory. 2003 Fleer Splendid Splinters is one of about 9 billion short lived sets in this era. Love receiving cards like this.
Upper Deck channeling its inner Studio.
Bazooka was kind of fun for a short period of time. I think UD Collectors Choice or Topps Total will be forever my favorite budget sets, but Bazooka provided a nice change of pace.
Julie really hit me with a bunch of short lived sets. Here is cardboard God Jason Kendall.
A very young Aramis Ramirez. Private Stock would have been so much better if they didn't distort the backgrounds.
Some current Buccos.......for now.
Julie sent what I think was the full team set of Chrome. The Marte and Cole were my favorites this year. Throwback Bucco uniforms always make good cardboard.
I haven't done a whole lot with the Bowman sets the last couple of years. Nice to receive some Platinum in trade.
COBRA!
Love the Jackie Robinson day card.
One of these years I need to catalog my Bay collection.
A little vintage...Carl Taylor looks like he is about to throw up.
I think this Neil Walker might be my favorite of the whole bunch. The team name on this card is way too big but it is such a great shot.
Thanks for thinking of me when you pulled the Cutch Julie. I'm working on a return shot soon.
Thanks for reading.
That's one mighty trade package! Think the Snell might be my favorite of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it remind you of Studio?
DeleteNice cards. I've always liked Gallery.
ReplyDeleteMe too! That was a pricey set when it came out. Fun to receive the cards in trade packages now.
DeleteCOBRA!!!
ReplyDeleteNow you know and knowing is half the battle
DeleteI think of you often but never pull any Pirates! I must think harder. It wasn't much of a stripe but no complaints. I pulled it from a blaster. My luck with them has been non-existent.
ReplyDeleteI had a nice run towards the beginning of the season with blasters but my luck ran out. Haven't purchased any in several months.
