83 Topps from the TROLL
I dont even know that you can call the exchange of cards from OH to the land of the TROLL, trades anymore. As evidence I present these top notch cards of 3 HOFers and a degenerate gambler that were among a much larger package of over 100 cards off of my 83 Topps wantlist. No official trade, but this is the way the world famous TROLL rolls. If per chance you do not know where you can find the TROLL..... here is where you can find him.
Thanks to the TROLL and Larry the sewingmachine guy...who have destroyed my 83 Topps want list, so much so that I only need 6 more cards. Thanks guys!
83 Topps wants:

Trade with the Bearded one
Here are a few cards that I got back in a trade done with the infamous arch nemesis of one thorzul. Yep I did a trade with Beardy who can also be found here in his new joint venture with mojo. I have no idea who is Jerry and who is Newman in this Seinfeldian feud of Beardy and Thorzul nor do I really care! It is amusing to all of us though. I may be a bit jaded as this here Pittsburgh Steelers fan did a favor for a certain fan of the Ravens and backed off of a Nick Markakis card....only to watch said Ravens fan go and lose the bidding on the card. Moral of the story: never expect a Ravens fan to do a damn thing right!
Oh I jest.....onto the trade...this was my eagerly awaited first trade with the world famous baseball card blogger Beardy...and it was worth the wait. By the way...to any other famous bloggers out there who havent traded with me....Lets get it done! I am sure you have some A&G backed minis that I can use! Sorry bout that on to the trade:
WOO HOO my first Blue Jay ripped card!!! Awesome! I now have at least 15 of the 08 Rip cards(all ripped- of course). Those cards contained among other things the extended mini cards, which I am now collecting, in an oh by the way mention. Someday I will put up some scans of what I have of them. So if you have an extended mini or 2----I am interested in them for sure. He also sent some assorted 08 Ginter minis....I have included a scan of the Jays, he also sent some other A&G backs....but those hit my album immediately so no scans of them. Beardy also sent along a few 09 Goodwins...of which i only have a few, but I do like the ones I have. He sent a black bordered gypsy queen backed Vernon Wells....which I understand and he included a Brian Roberts and a Cal RIPken, which I suppose goes well with the other Rip card.
An awesome first trade no matter how you slice it. So thanks Beardy! I look forward to our future trades.
As always... Let's make a deal!

2009 Ginter---not exactly done and contest winnings!
In my quest to finish mini sets and to find the last 2 base cards(DONE--thanks to Joe at Cobb and Halladay) I realized that I had totally skipped over my need for AGHS12 so I guess I do not have a complete base set yet. I need your help finish that set off.
I have gotten way behind on posting all the great trades that I have gotten in. So bad that my lack of organization has burned me. I had stacks of cards from trades ready to scan....not names or anything I could keep track of who sent what right? RIGHT? WRONG!!! I have lost track.....so I may have to just scrap it.....I may or may not post some of the scans....if you sent them to me hey feel free to take credit! If we have traded and you are not sure if I have received your cards yet, either ask or figure I have because I don't think anyone owes me anything and I have let at least some of you know when I have gotten the cards.
As to the contest winnings I got the Emmitt card from Joe at Cobb and Halladay and it is sweet....it is the first football relic I have ever received. He also sent the last 2 cards for the 09 ginter base as posted above and some 09 Goudey and some much needed 08 Upper Deck base and some 2007 Ginter base set cards. I have included a few here in the picture along with the Emmitt. Thanks for holding the contest, Joe and I am working on getting cards together for you, but I may be a few days on getting it done.
I still cant get over how much I enjoy all the years of the Ginter cards.
Oh I should be having a 1982 Topps want list up soon and since I enjoyed the Masterpieces sets so much, I decided to go for the 2007 Winndsor Green parallel set and the 2008 black border set as well. I have some cards on the way and will get those lists up soon as well. Oh do I now regret trading some of those away in the past. I am thinking of that 07 Green Pujols that I traded.....that will be tough to replace I do believe!
Thanks again to everyone who I have traded with....as always lets make a deal!

Trade Bait and general update
I have a ton of packages to get scanned in, I have gotten very lazy lately. That includes packages from Big D, roll out the barrell, sharpe since 92, cheap seat saints, Joe, and I think that is all. I have sent out the Trade Bait package that Beardy claimed, I have wicked's ready to go, as well lit's like having my own card shop. I am still waiting on hearing back from dayf, but he's the godfather so he can take his time. I have been to go through lists to put together a trade for Nachos Grande---I will get it done Chris! Oh and I have to put together a Reds package for Joe. so that is where I stand. I think.
As if my obsession with 08 and 09 ginter minis was bad enough already and since I have officially finished my 08 Goudey(woo hoo) I have expanded my Ginter collection....I have started chasing the extended minis from the rip cards....there are 50 of these from each year and I have like 12 of 08's and 13 of 09's. So if you have any of these that you dont know what to do with....I am chasing those sets! I have also picked up some silks and printing plates from 08 and 09. I havent been able to chase down any of the wood minis though. I will post the silks and plates at some point and I am willing to trade some of these if they are of players or teams that you collect.....I know I will never be able to collect the whole set of these, I just like some samples of each season.
I have also realized, thanks to sorting my 89 Score footballs to help with sewingmachineguys want list that I have a ton of 80's football and basketball for that matter that I can trade from. Right now when it comes to non-baseball I think I would like to add Virginia Tech alums in football and basketball and Xavier alums in basketball and Penguins in hockey.
I will have a want list up soon for 1982 Topps baseball. I found way more of these than I anticipated---looks like I need less than 50 of these.....though I may need to upgrade some of them.....these were well loved(or abused, I am not sure which!). Which means I have some of these to trade as well if you need any..... though if you are looking for mint cards... these will surely not fit that requirement.
catch ya'll later
