Someone did trade for this!(updated with mini wantlist)

I have realized I am horrible at keeping up with this. I am especially terrible at getting these trades posted. I am no where near as organized as the Troll, that is why when I start a trade process, I try to finish it quickly. Because if I don't I will lose track of the cards that I have pulled. That is also what happens when I get trades in. I try to get every thing logged in and sometimes I get the cards scanned right away....other times I get a stack....as I have right now with a bunch of minis. I can't remember who sent what, although I know I got a nice bunch of 08 and 09 Reg and black and A&G backed minis from NIght Owl Cards, thanks Greg! I am sitting on awesome trade with Offy's Sports Sites, it is going to take some time scanning but it will be worth.....they are in their own box....so I know where they are.

I do however have some cards from Jeremy at No one is going to read this blog and No one is going to trade for this. Now he has already posted what I sent him...see I get the cards out fast, I just don't get the posts up! Here is what Jeremy sent me:




Nice bunch of 09 Turkey Reds, including a couple of Jones--Adam and Chipper. I always like getting Chipper's cards for some reason!




A couple of 09 Ginter bases that I needed ( still need 4 if anyone can help me, they are:65 89 128 316) and the next to last card I needed for 2009 Topps Series, so if you have #297 well I would be happy to work out a trade for it.




Finally 3 Hokies, these are the first football cards I have gotten in trade and they are the first football I have gotten in a long time. And after last nite any chance of a good season for the Hokies went out the door....so I may as well post these. I mean really you lose to UNC....hang my head in shame. These are an awesome trio of Wide Receivers and who would have thunk VT would produce a WR as good a Eddie Royal. Wow just an awesome trio of cards and a nice surprise addition to the trade. Thanks Jeremy!

2008 Allen Ginter

Well I am down to only needing 4 cards to finish the regular backed mini set. If you have a regular back mini of 50(Albert Pujols) 177(Evan Longoria), 335(Phil Hughes) or 350(Kevin Youkilis). I would love to make a trade with you. I have an A&G back and black bordered Pujols which I would gladly trade for a regular back. Anyway...346 down 4 to go.

Let's make a deal!

Thanks to the many trades that I been coming in I am down to just 4 base cards to finish the set: 89 128 316
I have lots of base cards to trade.

I am down to less than 80 regular minis to finish it as well.

I might as well post the trade I got in from Nachos Grande, since he has posted what I sent him below is a sample of what I got.


It is hard to tell from the scan but these are 4 regular back minis....gotta love getting minis in the mail.




These are just 3 of 15 or so base cards he sent as well. woo hoo the Travis Snider card that I needed badly and you can never go wrong when getting Longoria and SP Jeters so that is great. Thanks Chris!

2009 Allen & Ginter

As always lets make a deal.

bad day for the Hokies

well that sucks.......Hokies lose......and I got distracted when watching an ebay auction for a 2008 Allen & Ginter extended mini that was poorly label...and went for less than $5 and I forgot to go back and bid on it....for shame.....I have some trades to post.....but not now....i am totally bummed...... Got trades from Nachos Grande and Offy...just an amazing box from offy that I really need to get some highlights posted. I also need to post the most expensive card I have ever bought. Later

2009 Goudey

Here are the cards I need:

Base:
Done! thanks to Larry the sewingmachineguy

SPs:
207 208 211 213 220 279

I have these SPs to trade: 214 222 223 229 231 236 239 244 245 247 252 252 254 255 257 270 270 271 278 281 283 287 288 292 293 293 294 296 296 299

So let's make a deal!

Here is the reason why I posted this wantlist---I got not 1 but 2 packages in the mail today containing 2009 Goudey(among other cards). These were the first cards from 09 Goudey that I have received in a while, so I might as use that as an opportunity to repost the list! The first package from Baseball Dad arrived out of the blue, there one from Drew was to complete a trade we had brokered. I will share more from each of these trades later.




these 3 are from baseball dad....it seems like I am always looking for Cole Hames and Vlad the Destroyer to finish off sets. A note on Miguel Montero.....I actually have his Goudey Graphs card.....so it was nice to finally get the base card..... Thanks Dad and would you be interested in a Victor relic card from 09 Goudey?




These 5 all arrived from Drew as part of a trade we have just completed. It is the first time for me to trade with Drew, here's hoping we can do some more dealing. Only note I'll make on the cards is that 3/5 of them feature players in their old uni's and that Carlos Gonzalez is, well, kinda good! I picked him up down the stretch for a couple of my fantasy teams, and he earned my approval.
As always let's make a deal!

cards from the TROLL

I am working on a trade with the TROLL, who I already was behind to, when he up and sent me more cards. Here are a few of them:






Just a few comments....The 3 highlight sketch cards are just, well, awesome! THe David Wright card is simply amazing, helpless catcher watching the ball head to the seats....wow.
As for the base cards....well they were all cards I needed to finish the set..which is really close to being done, but a few stand out for me. Charles Darwin, what an excellent card of a very important scientist, and he is still pissing people off 150 years later, how the hell can you top that! Samuel Morse and Louis Braille (along with Darwin) are examples of what makes Allen and Ginter so special, the historical figures, I am all about exposing folks to history.
The one baseball player from this baseball card set I would mention would be the Andrew Bailey, who had a lights out rookie season for the A's. He was a saviour for one of my 20 team fantasy leagues. I picked him up early in the season for his holds(yep they were a category for us) and he became my top closer before the end of the year. So here's to you Andrew Bailey. As always thanks to the Troll for the awesome cards--I hope these all were from you---I have another package to show off a bit later.

Here is the updated list of my 2009 Allen & Ginter needs. I have a ton of doubles in the base cards and SPs as well and I have a few mini doubles. Let's make a deal.

Babe Ruth video discovered!

Here is a neat story in the NY Times of some newly discovered video of Babe Ruth striking out and a bit of him in right field. The video is up on the site and it has some neat footage from MLB Productions....check it out.

2009 Allen Ginter mini want lists

I have started making some trades and got the first package back today from Greg over at Lake Effect Baseball Cards. Greg is one my All Star trade partners along with Dan at Saints of the Cheap Seats and everyones favorite Troll. Thanks for the 09 Ginters Greg, hope you like the cards I sent you. I know I should post pictures of the trade and someday I will get that going again.....it just ain't going to be today.

Oh yeah I have my mini and base card needs on google docs now....so click on the link and check out what I need and lets make a deal---or at least leave me a link to your wantlist and then we'll deal.

2009 Allen & Ginter

and for good measure I will include my 2008 list as well.

2008 Allen & Ginter

also from 2008 I really need the Matt Holliday N43 boxtopper---that will finish off that subset.
From 2009 I need the Dice-K and Ryan Howard N43's to finish off that set as well.
