World's Saltiest Sailor---now what?

This is an awesome unannounced subset to this years Ginter. I am conflicted on what to do---keep it and consider it a start on the set or sell and wait a while until the prices come down and look to reacquire it. Any thoughts? I mean "Calico Jack" does sound like one cool ass sailor, so there is that.

Almost finished!

Well its down to waiting for arrival. I just won the last card i needed to finish the ENTIRE 2008 allen &ginter regular back mini set 1-400. Thats right, upon arrival I will have finished the extended mini set! I guess that means on to the next project which is the 2009 A&G back mini and ext set, I only need 2 more a&gs and about 20 of the exts.
As for the 2010 minis, I have my want lists added to the post below. I have plenty of cards to trade and I am looking to deal. Thanks for your consideration.

Mini hits and some facial hair.......and updated lists

I know it has already been touched upon by others, but.....why in the heck is Eric Byrnes in this years Ginter? Were there really no better choices? Oh well all these minis are available for trade, the 2 black borders are SPs, I have decided I am not even going to pretend to chase the black bordered minis this year. I know the NNOs are limited to 50 but w/o them being numbered /50 I guess I just dont care, I liked the 09s havent liked the other years.

How can I pass up a cabinet card that features Chester A. Arthur and his awesome facial hair? I can't! If it weren't for me being a big US History buff, I am sure the I would only know of Chester A. Arthur because of his famous middle school--- well the one named after him anyways. No links i am too damn lazy for that. Most of you should know the reference!

I have more minis added to the to trade list....here they are...still looking to put the final touches on a couple of trades....

Lets get trading!

My Ginter relics..... and updated trade list

I would say that all of these are available at the right price.....though the extra Tulo and Prince need to find a new home! I like that i got a pile of bat relics instead of the pile of jersey relics i have from previous years. Oh and sorry about the 3 cards that are in sideways...it was the only way to get all 10 cards onto the scanner. I kinda like the fire like frames on the relics this year, they do stand out. I suppose i am looking for Blue Jay relics and Tom Knapp..... I really want Tom Knapp stuff, so if you have any goofy Tom Knapp items or even extra base cards....I will be glad to give them a new home.

I will be adding more to these want lists/ to trade lists.

updated on 7/17

Hello my name is Duane...

and I am an Allen & Ginter addict.

I really need an intervention at some point...... must step away from the 'bay.

I am doomed.

later.

Here they come....2010 Ginters--N43 edition

As i get the 2010 Ginters in I am going to try and keep up my list of cards available for trade.....I will try...this i s my goal. I have not and dont plan on ripping any hobby boxes of Ginter, unless of course prices really come down. I may be ripping some retail. For now though it is all ebay and my thirst for Ginters is satisfied by buying up underpriced lots of minis. Here is one of my first lots to arrive a nice stack of N43 boxloaders. I like the n43s and the Cabinet cards as well, especially the non baseball cabinet cards.....its like the history channel on a giant baseball card.

Here is where I stand on cards available for trade so far:

2010 Ginters

N43
Justin Upton

mini inserts
SSS3 Sir Walter Raleigh
LO21 PAN
MM3 Stegosaurus
MM13 Pachycephalosaurus

Lets make a deal.

I am still around!!

I figured it is about time to post that I am still around here collecting cards---- although i am really down to chasing Ginters and Masterpieces and a few old sets i am trying to finish. I have started picking up some 2010 Ginter minis and if you need a home for any of your minis.....please keep me in mind. Especially if I have built up good will with you over the last year or so as a good trader. I am down to one card to finish off the ENTIRE 2008 Allen & Ginter regular back mini set.... #374 Jackie Robinson. That is my most wanted card at this point in time. I have some 2008 Masterpieces BB SP's to trade if you are still looking for them and I have a ton of 2009 Ginter regular and A&G back minis to trade as well.

Current most wanted list:
2008 Ginter
regular back mini
374 Jackie Robinson

2009 Ginter

A&G back minis
324 Wladamir Balentin
340 Richard Gatling
N43 Box Topper
Ryan Howard

TO TRADE:

2010 Ginter

Thanks for any help and keep me in mind for any unwanted Ginter minis!
