Waiting Til Next Year - A Trade Post


 P-Town Tom recently dropped a loaded bubble mailer on me and it hit pretty much all my collecting interests.


Plenty of prospects like this new to me Dansby, my first Team USA card of his. 


He dropped all the base cards of players in the Braves system on me from this set plus these Longevity parallels.  


Boom! This guy's cards are stupid high right now so a base plus a parallel are a big addition to my small PC of the fellow Marietta boy. 


Tom also hit my other main collecting  interest - Oddballs. Love that Justice,  I had never seen one like it before. 


Judge Justice sentencing the Merlins..? What!?


Tom sent me a good amount of '93t Braves, making me realize how few I had and that I need to finish my want lists.. the guy must be telepathic. 


The Klesko is another team set need. The Opening Day Smoltz was new to me as well. 


Closing it out with the Braves closer, thanks for all the great cards Tom!

Bubba's Bangin' Batch of Nachos Grande - A Trade Post



Happy St Patrick's Day, here's a card I fittingly got in the mail today. I won it with other cards to curb shipping cost angst. It will find it's way into a Reds collectors mailbox soon...


Getting to the point, Matt aka Bubba  from BBBOBB sent me a surprise bubble mailer full of Braves recently. I guess he's trimming the fat to make room for 2016 Allen & Ginter as I know he collects Braves too. I'll gladly take them!


I wonder if anyone actually ever plays Topps Attax. I remember seeing these on shelves at the time but I believe they've been replaced by Topps Chipz or some other wacky mispelled gimmicky product.


Speaking of gimmicky products, Matt also sent this pair of 1990 Topps Big cards. Again Topps is still up to these same tricks though under a different name and with larger cards that happen to be serial nuimbered. Things never change.


Thanks for all the great cards BUBBA!

Chris from Nachos Grande also sent me a loaded package last week knocking 16 cards off my 2015 Stadium Club want list.


Here's three of my favorites, great shot of the Rocket in the middle even if i'm not a fan of his. Another great photo showing the classic Les Expos uniforms and a guy I'm starting to collect, Lakeland boy Chris Sale and his wacky delivery.


I don't think i'd ever gotten one of these Topps Attax cards in a trade package before and boom 2 different packages containing them showed up last week, I needed that Maddux for my team set build, 


Thanks for the cards guys and thank you fair reader for stopping by. Happy St. Patrick's Day
