The Sideline Sweetie, Pageant Beauties, and oh Bourdain

Hey-Oh!! Been a while since I posted so I figured what better way to return than to post a few 2014 Ginters as a way a saying I have a whole bunch of base to trade.  I need to get a bunch of these out to better homes. I would have just stuck with posting the lovely ladies in this years set but I have noticed over the last month or so, a number of posts of people admiring cards of the traveling chef Anthony Bourdain.  And to gloat about my having one of his relic cards.... which I suppose could be traded for the right offer....yeah you may need to bring the heat to get that one....  Just let me know which base cards you need.... outside of Tanaka and Abreau I should have plenty  of them to trade--sorry none of those 2 guys to trade.  And yeah Jenny Dell is quite swell.  It seems NESN likes to hire some awesome female talent and I would be a strong supporter of every Ginter set having at least one former NESN babe in the set.... I nominate Heidi Watney for next year!!  

Just let me know what Ginter base you need... or minis I suppose... I have lots of them as well if you want to work out a real trade there.

Shillin' for a chance at a '54 Duke Snider

If it gets me an extra chance at winning the 1954 Duke Snider at $30 a week habit, then heck yes I will pimp out the site!!!  So go on over to $30 a week habit and comment for a chance to win an awesome card!!!!

Did I mention you really should go over to $30 a week habit and get in on the action? Well do it!! You won't be disappointed!!

Since we are on the subject of 1954 Topps cards I might as well show off the 3 I have to trade....

I have 57 cards in the set so far.... still no where near enough to do a list of needs yet...but getting close....  so let's work out a deal for some commons!!!

I traded some Braves for some 1964 Topps off the ole want list....

One of the many joys of collecting cards is the occasions when you get to add another fellow collector to your circle of traders, and today I feature my haul from my first trade with one fellow collector and blogger.  In what I guess is a rare trade of vintage for modern, I sent a pile of Braves to Johnny's Trading Spot, including a bunch of Ginter minis--- I know who could have guessed--- for this nice collection of 64's from my wantlist.  

 I have to say that while none of the names are big, though there is one of those super cool topps all rookie team trophies, these are in really nice condition, something that many of my 1964s don't have.

As a set builder who has a long way to go with this set, I really dont have anything profound to say about any of these cards other than to say they all are very much needed and they get me that much closer to finishing the set.  Thanks for the great trade Johnny and hopefully we can pull off another one sometime soon.  

I know I have lots of folks out there to trade with....so let me know if you want to pull the trigger on a trade.

Let's make a deal!!!!

Trade with gcrl

I have traded a few times with very dodger blue Garvey Cey Russell Lopes and well he always seems to outdo me, well way back in the beginning of this whole trading thing he sent me i think a 660 count box stuffed full of awesome Blue Jays cards and I have been trying to even the score ever since.  A few months ago I swore I had accomplished that feat... here are my attempts-- part 1 and part 2  and I really thought I had won. I mean I dont do no bipping but surely a pile of unannounced 1965's would win any trade right???? WRONG!! dang it Jim you trumped me again....  Yep there they are a pair of 1955s and 1956s  taken right off my wantlists.....I lose..... errr wait... I think I won!!! 55s and 56s will always win esp ones that are needed to finish a set.... off course if that was the extent of the package it would have been awesome

Nope those weren't all that he sent...  there they about half of what was my remaining 1978 wantlist.... blown the heck up to the point that these here are all that remain to be located:

1978 Topps want list:

 21 36 102  155 273 360 400 407 500 709 

and as always some nice current Blue Jay cards...and some old school Pirates... and I do love that Joe Carter card.... touch 'em all Joe, you'll never have a bigger hit than that!!!! 

That is all....  as I go back to the drawing board to figure out how to top grcl..... and you too can one up me in a trade by sending any 55's and 56s you have heck.... I have a pile of them to trade so we can work out a deal for them!!!  

Thanks for the trade.

Let's make a deal!!

2014 Allen and Ginter Case topper red mini pack

I have always done my set building a little different than most collectors. I have the compulsion to build and finish sets, but lack the gambler mentality that leads one to rip lots of wax looking for the big hit.  I tend browse ebay buying the left over lots of disappointment.  This year I have switched things up a bit, with Ginter having the red mini /33 set only coming in the 5 card 1 per case packs, while buying as many of these in lots that I can I have also taken to purchasing unopened 5 packs as well(for bargain prices --of course).  Here is the results of 1 such package.  

Obviously one of these is not like the other, which means I shouldn't have assumed that the packaging saying 5 exclusive mini parallel cards, didn't just mean red border /33s.  I have seen these listed on ebay from time to time, and wasnt sure if people were talking about the super mini 1/1s that come from the mini mini rip cards, or something else.  I seen listing talking about mini 1/1s that are in retail boxes, but i haven't read too much about them either.  I wondered if maybe they were included inside the boxtops like the full sized glossy 1/1s.  I guess not, so if anyone was wondering, turns out the glossy mini 1/1s are mixed in with the red minis.

If you are interested the Arenado and Portnoy are for trade as well as the Napoli I suppose.  Heck for that matter if anyone collects wrappers, the wrapper is available as well.  

I should add if anyone reading this has any red border /33 minis I am more than willing to trade... I am over 50% complete on this set.

Let's make a deal!!!!

1964 Topps want list

I at least have a few of the higher end cards from '64....The Banks and Killer are in pretty decent shape...while the Wille is a gem mint Tipton.... waves and all!!! I still need a bunch of these. Thanks for looking!!!

"trade" with JediJeff

 I think, that by this time, most people have been fortunate enough to have received at least one PWE from JediJeff of 2x3heroes fame, if not, proceed there immediately and sign up for his Club PWE.  Ok are you back?  These are some of the awesome cards Jeff sent in his last mailing to me, as always I start off with the minis!! Not just any ole minis but 4 from my wantlists, and that in itself always make a great package.  2 2012 ginter gold minis, a 2011 Kimball Champions Ernie Banks and a 2012 Ginter people of the bible insert PB-5 Jonah.  The Kimball Ernie Banks dropped my list to 1 card to finish-- 66 Yogi Berra, and thanks to the Jeff's most recent post in which he showed off his LCS trip and Kimball haul from there.... it appears Jeff is going to knock of the YOGI!!! Be prepared for a Joy of a Completed Set post at some point in the future!!  The Jonah mini cut my list to refinish the bible inset set to just 2.

2012 Ginter mini inset People of the Bible set wants: 3 4


Jeff didnt just hit my Ginter mini collections, he also set along an Adam Lind GQ relic and some cards that I just dont get in trades--EVER-- Framed Masterpieces!!!!  2 of them to be exact... the Jose Reyes is a blue framed /50 and the Ryan Braun is a black frame, I know Jeff sent that one along because well i dont think he is a fan of Braun...so I win!!!  The other 4 masterpieces look like 07 base cards but they are the glossy inserts from 08 or so...  I think only Red Sox and Yankee cards were featured like this.

Of course if these were the only cards Jeff had sent, I would have been estatic.. but no there were more!

6 Penguins well I suppose you could make that 7 as the Parkhurst (my first Parkhurst card btw) features a cameo of future Penguin Zarley Zalapski.  Love that name.  I love the Prizm Sid and the UD Black Diamond Kunitz is flat out awesome looking, so uhh if anyone wants to unload any Penguins from that set, feel free to send them to me!!!

Last but not least some vintage 1964 model Pirates and an Indian... always enjoy some local team vintage!  and a few more jays....  

thanks for the package jeff and I look forward to the next mail day coming from the Land of Lincoln!! 

as always let's make  a deal!!!!!!!

Trade with an A's collector!!!

It's not often I get trade offers out of the blue from someone reading this here little want list outlet, but here are the results of just one of those cases.  I received an email some time ago from Casey of the fine blog Cardboard Brooklyn/ A displaced A's fan card collection offering up a number of 2014 Ginter minis, including an EXT!!! yep that there Chris Davis is an EXT mini.... so of course I jumped at the chance to trade for an EXT!!! that I needed!!  HELL YEAH!!  I ended up sending a number old school vintage A's as well as current A's ginter minis...  Thanks for finding this little blog, Casey, and I looked forward to many more trades!

 Yep, I even like me some vintage Indians as well.... no its no true that the Perry was dripping with spit....

As always... I am willing to trade...so Let's make a deal.....  and yeah I did reply via email to Tony... so I am not totally slack on following up...

Brewers Rips and exts

 Why oh why would I just post some Brewer hits you might ask??? Well because I am too lazy to send an email reply to Tony's comment on my last post so I figured, might as well taunt him with a few more Brewer cards and to show off the 2 he was interested in..... Oh and you BREWER DOUBLE RIP mojo!!!!  You interested in that one as well??

WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE!!! or at least in a regular mini version!!! wantlists up to date 1-3-16

After pending trades are done, that is the last card I need to finish my 2014 reg mini set.  This would be my version of a most wanted post....  I need regular back mini card number 98 David Wright, if you got  it, I will gladly take it off your hands!!!  set is finished!!!

Here are the rest of the 2014 minis I still need:

minis are all done except for this blasted gold set...well the red border set isn't done yet either...

gold border: too many to list at this point....if you have any to trade let me know and I will see if i need them.

2014 ginter wants.... and anyone going to the national convention????

I am slowly getting my lists of what I still need together.  As I get them together I will list them on this page, meanwhile I might as well scan in some more trade bait...  A nice Choo Rip card for you Rangers fans out there and 5 of the red border minis/33 that I have doubles of already.... 2 each of Angels and Red Sox....  as it stands now I think I am going to try and chase down the /33 set... I am over 10% of the way there...actually I may be at 20% by now... so any of these I can trade for, well, that would be great.

2014 minis to trade:

Athletic Endeavors (AE) : 3 4 

I also have any Ginter base you would need.

Finally, I was wondering if anyone out there was going to make it to the National at Cleveland this weekend?  I have been looking forward to this for over a year now, but its looking like I am not going to be able to make it the 2 hours trip to hit the show.  In my dull boring life there is really only one hobby/ entertainment that trumps card collecting and its my obsession with IndyCar racing and well I have a race this weekend even closer to home.. 1/2 hour away, actually....  and well I don't miss an opportunity to go to a race....so the National is getting the axe....unless of course there happens to be a number of fellow blogger/collectors going...in which case I may just have to work it in....so is anyone out there heading to the I-X center????

Get your ginter wantlists ready!!!!

I am ready to start trading and not just minis... I have been accumulating minis since Ginter hit the shelves a few weeks ago, making no effort to acquire any base cards, but I big lot fell in my lap yesterday, meaning I will soon have base to trade as well!!!  Oh I also have a massive pile of 2013 ginter base, meaning I have doubles of the entire 2013 set to trade including SPs...so if you need to finish off last years set...i can meet any needs.  Here is some high end traded able stuff that I have so far...something to see while I get my wantlist ready for you.

The rip cards are self explanatory.... the Lester is a metal mini and it looks awesome.... the other 2 minis are EXT minis of Adam Jones and Cliff Lee.  There is a Matt Kemp printing plate and a Yonder Alonso silk.  looking to trade like for like if possible, as I am working on trying to get all the RIP set as well as the EXT mini set.  The metal mini and silk and plate...I would just be looking for Blue Jays or someone similar. 

Here are the 2014 mini inserts I still need: 

Into the Unknown (ITU): 1 7 12 15

Little Lions (LL): 7 8 

Outlaws, Bandits, All around ne'er do wells (OBA): 7 9 10

Where Nature Ends (WNE): 12 14 19 20 21

Enjoy and lets make a deal!!!

WANTED: 2014 Ginter Minis!!!!

If you happen to buy some packs of Allen and Ginter and have no desire to keep those pesky mini cards....I will provide them all a good home!!!  As Elvis tried to keep Memphis drug free by consuming all the drugs he could find.... hey, you have to get them off the street somehow!





Every ginter mini I acquire will be one less on the street..... I will collect the Ginter minis so you don't have to!  Or at least the minis of players on teams that you don't collect. I have many years of ginter doubles and can put together some nice packages of minis of your favorite players/ teams...  just let me know!!!


as always...I am willing to trade!
