I have been Zippy Zapped !

Yesterday I received a big yellow bubble mailer from Kenny H who most of you know by the name Zippy Zappy from the blog Cervin Up Cards ! Kenny reached out to me a while back and a cool trade was quickly born ! Here's what Kenny send me !

Let's start with some cool Sega CardGen cards !! I have never owned one but always have been intrigued by them, probably given they are Japanese. Also, I know Sega as a game console so think it's fun they have cards as well ! Kenny actually send me two, Rizzo and Sabathia !!

Not sure if they are from the same set and/or if the white or black background is a parallel or not but in any event I like these !! Next up, two beautiful cards, really like the Cano card and the Sabathia is not bad either !

Vintage !! Vintage was included as well with this 1972 Topps Rookie Stars !! Don't know any of them but still, looks like a great card !

Some cool Andy Pettitte cards were also included, SPx and Sports Illustrated !!

Kenny also include a bunch of Sabathia Parallel cards ! Given the lack of Target, Wallmart, Toys 'R US shops and others it is very hard for me to get my hands on these parallels so these are very much appreciated Kenny !!

A pack of 2010 Upper Deck was also included, or so I thought. Always fun when people send me unopened packs because I love "breaking wax"! However, I noticed this one had already been opened and Kenny had put in some cool cards to replace the UD 2010 cards, a wise choice !!

Here were two that were included in the pack, Glavine and Verlander !!

To finish off the overview here are two more from the pile that Kenny send me, Flair Greats and a cool Swisher card !!

Thanks very much Kenny for the awesome cards !! Hope you like what I have send you in return and looking forward to our next trade !!

Bob Walk the Plank Trade !

Matt at Bob Walk the Plank reached out to me a few weeks ago with a trade proposal. Of course I never turn down a trade so a few days ago a great package arrived !!! Matt outdid himself with some awesome cards !! First up, A Kershaw and Glavine card !!

The package was really a cool "pitchers" package. Here's a cool Verlander card !! I like these All-Star Stitches !

Here are 2 Sabathias !!! Note that the Donruss Studio card is a "Studio Proof" card which are numbered to only 10 !!

Last up, 2 more Yankees or I must say, 2 ex-Yankees. the Retired Rivera with a very cool Gallery of Heroes card, and Whadaya Know Cano !!

Thanks Matt for an awesome trade, looking forward to the next one !!!

Zippy Zap Trade !

A few days ago I received an awesome package, a package from Zippy Zappy Kenny at Cervinupcards ! Kenny expressed some interest in a few cards I showed and I got some great cards in return. Let's have a look ! First up, a Topps 1976 card !! As some of you might know it is the first "vintage" set I am trying to complete so this one is great, even if its a Red Sox card :-) One of my goals for 2014 is to try to get the 1976 set 75%+ complete so if you have any around let's trade !!

Kenny also send me an awesome Konami World Baseball Classic card from Japan with Sidney de Jong from the Dutch Team !! He even included a translation of the back of the card, thanks Kenny !

Next up, minis !!!! I love minis and these two I still missed for my A&G set !! Kenny also added a Sepia GQ Cano mini, great card !

Next up a few Opening Day cards I still needed for my set !!

Yes ! More Yankee Stadium Legacy cards, still over 4500 to go so keep'em coming !!

Here is a cool Bowman Chrome mini, didn't know they existed but I like them ! Also, a awesome Jeter, hope he has a great final season !!

Kenny added 1 relic card, Teixeira ! Furthermore, a cool young Betances !

Kenny also included some autos, meet Betances and a TTM (I think) of Oliberto.

Another auto, Ty Hensley !!

To finish the overview here are two more cool cards, Cano and Clemens !

Thanks Kenny for an awesome package, hope you like the cards I sent you as well ! Looking forward to our next trade !!

Spring has arrived !!

Well, not exactly, in Holland it's still pretty cold with no spring in sight. However, last week a nice pile of Spring Fever cards arrived at my doorstep, a pile I was able to get on the cheap. I actually like this set a lot, these are really nice looking cards of a cool selection of players.

Here are the first ones, Trout and Rizzo. I am starting to like Rizzo a lot and he played very well during the Baseball Classics as well so I might start a PC on him at some point.

Here's Wright, the Captain, and Boone Logan from the Yankees bullpenn.

A Golden Oldie, Stan Musial, and a hot Cano who was the baseball Classic's MVP earlier this month !

Two more cards before I call it a day, Hamilton in Angels Jersey and the only Dutch player in the set, Profar, who joined Holland in the Semis during the Baseball Classics.

That's it, a cool set and happy to cross it of my Want List !

Thanks for visiting myt blog today !

Spanking Loot, part 2 !

Yesterday I showed you my box break loot from Spankee's recent box break at the Cardboard Mistress. We also set-up a great trade so that's what I will show you today !!

Let's kick-off with the "hits" of the trade ! Here's one of my favourite pitchers, Sabathia !!

The second "hit" was a cool triple relic card which include Glavine !! I'll take a Glavine relic any day !!

I am also chasing the Topps 2012 Minis set and luckily Spankee had some in store for me !! Still a few to go so in case you have any for trade please check out my Want List !! Really like the Blanks card

Spankee also send me 20 or so 2012 A&G base cards...I am almost done with this set, only a few more !!

Another set that I am collecting is the 2008 Upper Deck "A Piece of History" and Spankee send me a pile of those as well !! Here's Cano and Jones !

All in all, a lot of cool cards that helped me get closer to completing some of the sets I am chasing. Thanks very much Spankee for the cool cards. Looking forward to a next box break or trade !!
