Awhile back, Topps disappointed me by sending a Buchholz autograph instead of an Allen & Ginter autographed that I redeemed. However, my disappointed quickly turned into happiness thanks to a plethora of trade offers from a number of different blog readers, including Matthew from Baseball Card Spot. In the end, Matthew's offer of a bunch of cards off my want list won out. It turned out that we were able to make a larger trade, I sent him the Buccholz auto, a Jay Bruce relic, and a small pile of Red Sox. In return, he sent me the following:
2009 Topps:
World Baseball Classic:
BCS10. Derek Jeter
BCS21. Phillippe Aumont
The last two cards that I needed for this particular insert set. I don't exactly like the set, but it's nice to have it finished. I went a little overboard trying to collect all the inserts from last year's base Topps set...I won't be doing that this time around (or so I tell myself right now).
Legends of the Game:LG-AP. Albert Pujols
LG-AR. Alex Rodriguez
LG-GM. Greg Maddux
LG-IS. Ichiro
LG-PM. Paul Molitor
LG-RJO. Randy Johnson
LG-TGL. Tom Glavine
LG-TH. Trevor Hoffman
I'm only missing six of the Legends of the Game cards now...almost done with this insert set as well!
2009 Allen & Ginter:
Mini:
110. Kevin Youkilis
Slow and steady wins the race, another Allen & Ginter mini card off the want list.
N43.
N43-JH. Josh Hamilton
The N43's were box toppers, which means they are tough to find...and seemingly tough to collect. This is the first N43 that's been traded to me in about 6 months! I may never finish off that particular set (unless I resort to eBay I suppose).
Relics:
AGR-RD. Ryan Doumit
AGR-JT. Jim Thome
A couple more Allen & Ginter relics to add to my collection. I need to find a master list of the subjects in the relic set to see who I'm still missing. I'm sure there's a ton I don't yet have!
In additon to the cards off my want list, Matthew also threw in some assorted Reds cards. Among my favorites:
A pair of Francisco Cordero Topps gold parallel cards (2008 & 2009)
A couple of 2008 Topps Co-Signers. I don't think I've ever seen these particular cards before. I'd like them a bit better of the team logo in the background was colored, but they are still fairly spiffy.
Thanks a lot Matthew, and (as always), if anyone else would like to trade, check out my want list and make an offer!
