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......

COMC???

COMC---well all know what that is right? Checkoutmycards.com so what does everyone think? I have been a buyer there for a few years and have done the turn around and resell, but I had never sent any cards in until the end of 2010. I have been a satisfied buyer but I am not sure what I think of it as a potential seller. As a cheapskate I of course went for the 8 week listing..... and the cards still aren't listed-- of course the deadline is 2/28 which means they will go up right at the deadline. Which seems mighty convenient. The order has been listed as 35% processed for at least 3 weeks now. This says to me cards are in the system and will get posted at the last minute possible, all in the name of getting sellers to opt for the higher priced faster processing. That may work for some folks, but to me, not sure it's going to work. Oh well I guess I shall see how it goes.

I am working on completing a few trades right now---been awhile and its nice to be working on trade packages.....of course i am waiting on a few addresses to get these packages sent out. Assuming the rain, ice, snow combination we are currently getting doesn't keep me from getting to the Post Office, I am going to get out my first non-North American trade! I have a package ready to ship down under to Jon of RGB Cards who claims to be Australia's foremost baseball card blog since 2010--- and I have to agree!!! So one new trade and a package to my favorite blogger and top trader--- some chap who posting as infrequently as me these days.... I am sure he is working his ass off!!! That would be The Collective Troll of course! So guys look forward to some mail....

Anyone else looking to trade look below for my current want lists...these are the sets I am focused on right now.....
as always....LET'S MAKE A DEAL!!!!

Best cards--2010



Ok technically these are the best cards I have received in trade in 2010, or at least my favorite!
The 2 minis in the top row are the first 2 ext minis that I have gotten in trade and they both came from Baltimore's best card blogger.....Beardy, one half of the unstoppable blogging force known The Mojo Beard. I would love to trade for any EXT minis that anyone would like to trade!
The other card on the top row is one that I have needed to finish my 1988 Score football set since probably 1990 and it arrived to me via my favorite trading parter Bradentuckys finest roller derby fan The Collective Troll. THE BARRY SANDERS ROOKIE!!! Yee HAW the TROLL rules!!!!!
The last 3 cards all come courtesy of Jeremy of the great blog that no one reads. A worlds saltiest sailor and 2 custom made cards...... These are the first 2 custom cards i have ever gotten..... A Willie Stargell and 1 of me I guess.......or at least my blogging alter ego..... Totally AWESOME!!!

Thanks guys for the great cards....oh I know there were many other great cards but these all have special meaning for me. Looking forward to more great trades in 2011.

as always Lets make a deal!!!!
