A Nightly Trade !

A while back I send Greg at Night Owl Cards a bunch of Dodgers. A return package arrived last week and a cool one it was !! Greg found some good stuff from my Want List and also added a bunch of Kershaw cards that I was still looking for !!

Let's start with some cool Kershaw cards !!

Greg also included minis !! I always love mins and these I still needed to complete my 2013 minis insert !!

He also added some Topps Opening Day inserts, meet Screech (not the "saved by the bell" one !!!).

and more inserts, Opening Day Highlights !!

Lastly, a cool Diamond Duos card of Koufax and Kershaw !!

All in all a cool trade so thanks very much for the cards Greg, looking forward to our next trade !

Kershaw vs Fried

Quick one today, Clayton Kershaw vs Max Fried, a cool Bowman card !!

3 Awesome Glavines !

Quick post on 3 awesome new additions to my Glavine collection. I usually order my hobby boxes at Dave & Adams a few times a year as they have the best prices for international buyers, as far as I know. Sometimes, they also have some singles for sale. Last time I checked I found 3 awesome Glavine cards, all from 2004 Upper Deck SP. One of the nicest relic cards I own !

Thanks for visiting my blog today !

COMC loot - Kershaw edition !!

A few weeks back I received a small package from COMC, one of my to-go-to places for cheaper singles. This time I was mainly focussed on adding to my Kershaw collection !! Let's start with the best card of the lot, a Lettermen N, numbered to 30 !! I am still trying to complete his name with this set, a daunting task but a fun one. The letter N is my fifth one, out of the 14 so still some way to go !

I was able to pick-up some more cool Kershaws like the 2012 Gold Rush card and a 2012 Finest Refractor !

The package also included one (cheap) Kershaw auto I didn't own yet, a 2008 Tristar Projections numbered to only 25 ! A cool Green Tribute was also included !

The package also included one relic card, a 2012 Triple Threads - Triple Crown !

Lastly, any package with a Glavine card is a good package so I added one just to be sure !!

That was it for today, another cool package from COMC !! Thanks for visiting my blog today !

Archives loot !!

Achives !! Well acutally I don't like this year's archives a lot. Still, a group break is always fun so I joined Chris' his break at Nachos Grande a few weeks ago. The package arrived last week and here is the loot !!

First up, two of the "hits" !! Yogi Berra in the best inserts of the set, Gallery of Heroes ! Babe Ruth was also present in this cool looking parallel !

Next up two of my favourite Yankees, Rivera and Sabathia !

Tall minis, this is a new version of the minis Topps is putting in every set it seems these days. I need to get use to these ones I guess...

Two more, or actually 5 more, Yogi again and a 4 Yankees card including Rivera !

Lastly, my random team were the Astros, they only have 1 card and I got three of them, all for trade for that one Astros collector out there :-))

That was another fun break by Chris, looking forward to the next !

Traded with Madding !

I recently set up a trade with Kerry aka Madding from Cards on Cards and a cool package arrived earlier this week ! Let's skip the chit-chat and get to the point. Here are some cool cards !!

First-up a couple of cool Sabathia's !! A purple refractor and a silver numbered refractor, both great additions to my Sabathia PC !!

Those were not the only Sabathia cards, here are a few more !!

Kershaw was also present !!

Mariano as well !!

Lastly, Kerry also added a graded Glavine card !! A cool Skybox from 2000.

The package included much, much more of cool cards, too much too show in this post. Thanks very much Kerry for a cool trade !!!

Series 2: For Trade !

So each year I love to open a few boxes of Topps Series 1 & 2 and this year was no different !! I was able to complete the base set and have a pile of base for trade. Furthermore, and disappointing, all the inserts of 2 of the boxes were the same so I still need a lot of inserts. The good news for all of you, I have stuff to trade !!

Let's start with the hits ! Two for trade, one to keep ! Some metal first, a Mike Trout Proven Mettle.

The second one was a Chasing History relic: Alex Gordon !

Lastly, the hit I am keeping (although it's one from my least favourite Yankee to be honest)

Now let's move to the insert, all are for trade as these were are doubles. First up, the Minis !

Next up, my favourite insert, inline with The Greats of Series 1, meet The Elite !

My 2nd favourite insert set, Cut to the Chase ! Still trying to complete the Series 1 insert set as well !

Two more inserts, Making their Mark and World Baseball Classics, I like them, Topps did a good job on the insert side with Series 2 (yes, I said it!).

Lastly, a few coloured parallels, one pink for the ladies (#/50) and a black one (#/62)

That's it, happy to set-up trades so check out my Want List for my insert needs !
