BIG Mail day--trade edition

Went to the mail box today and this among other things--- this awesome envelope was looking back at me!!! My first package and trade completion from overseas--- Derby, Australia to be precise....AWESOME!!!! Our trade was already covered over at the home of Australia's Foremost Baseball Card Blog, which of course would be Jonathan of RGB Cards. There were also 2 other trade packages as well....



My first package and trade completion from overseas--- Derby, Australia to be precise....AWESOME!!!! My half of the trade was already covered over at the home of Australia's Foremost Baseball Card Blog, which of course would be Jonathan of RGB Cards. I picked out 3 of my favorites from the package that included Jays and Turkey Reds from my wantlist. They are the first row of cards below. My first 2011 card and it just happens to be future ace(here's hoping!!!) and Doc compensation-- Kyle Drabek... and its a gold #ed to 2011-- SWEET!! A 2010 TR Buster Posey, who came up and brought some much needed life to my fantasy baseball team last year! Oh and that strange mini of new found Jays slugger Jose Bautista--- a 2011 Kimball.... MEGA AWESOME!!! and dangit!!! now I need to collect these mini inserts.....so if you dont want the Kimball's-- fell free to send them my way!!!

There were also 2 other trade packages as well.... these are both responses to my Trade Bait post in the second row are a sampling of cards from Greg of Plaschkey, Thy Sweater is Argyle A 2008 Ginter bat relic of Carl Crawford-- btw I have decided to add as many relics and autos from 08,09 and 2010 Ginter, so if you have any of them to trade...let me know and we can try and work out a deal! Greg also threw in some random Jays and some cards from my teams in other sports, including my favorite former Xavier Musketeer--TYRONE HILL!!!! NICE and my all time favorite Jay--none other than Mr Tomorrow I'll be Perfect-- Dave Stieb! Thanks Greg!!!

And the third row is a sample of the contents of my first trade from Alaska from the impressively named cynicalbuddha at Collector's Crack, who got his package mailed out to be before I even got his put together--- so cynical-- never fear the Fielder bat relic is just waiting for me to find some more friends to include to send your way. Needless to say I went all Halladay to represent this trade.....including a relic and a mini and Turkey Red that was also needed from my want list. Many more Jays and minis and a major dent in my Turkey Red want lists were also in the package. Thank you for the trade cynicalbuddha and I hope u are enjoying your trip to the lower 48....and I will get my part of the trade in the mail soon.....



Ok I would say I have babbled on long enough....thanks to everyone for the trades and I look forward to many more!!! Oh I have skipped over some other trades that I really need to go back and cover....I estimate sometime in 2013 or 2014.....I am a total slacker.... anyway.... Thats all for today....and LETS MAKE A DEAL!!!

Ginter Relic trade bait




Since I am in the mood to package up cards and do some trading.....and potential trades are seeming to die out....I figured I may as well....prime the pump..... so if any of these are your fancy.....make an offer...I am mainly looking for other Ginter relics from 08-10 but knocking off items from want lists works good as well. I also have a pile of 09 Goudey 4n1s.... red blue and green....if there are any of those you are looking for let me know which ones and I shall see if I have it.

I have completed some trades that i need to get posted so expect some of that whenever I do post again.....


thats all for now....


Let's make a DEAL!!!!

UPDATE-- I am adding this because I know that other than the Turkey Reds....my wantlist is a bit tough....so here are some more of what i dont mind having.... Toronto Blue Jays.... Willie Stargell and really old school Pirates work as welll.....and penguins hockey...steelers football.....former Virginia Tech players....and former Xavier basketballers......
