Delivery Time! Trade with Roy from The Paper Chase

Last week, a couple of snowstorms in the northeast seemed to have slowed down the mail service to a crawl.  This week, the mail employees must be working overtime since my mailbox was stuffed full with three yellow trade envelopes plus a box.  Up first, a quick trade with Roy from The Paper Chase.

Roy agreed to send me a Yovani Gallardo relic from 2009 Allen & Ginter since I'm crazy enough to want as many of the '09 A&G hits as possible, no matter who the subject.  In return, I was to send Roy a Blue Jay relic.  As luck would have it, Roy included a bunch of extra Reds (including some Larkins) in my package...and I included a bunch of Jays in his package!

Here's the Gallardo:

The Gallardo relic pushes my "hit" total from A&G up to 21.

Roy also included a bunch of Reds, including the following:
2003 Playoff Prestige - Sean Casey

I don't think I've seen a base card from this set before...and I must say, it's kind of creepy.  Two versions of the same picture, both on the front...along with a team watermark...eesh.

2000 Topps Gold Label - Sean Casey

Now, this is how you do a two-picture card.  I love the Topps Gold Label brand of the early 00s, and this card is no exception.

And from the higher end, classier type card to the utterly goofy:

1992 Topps Kids - Rob Dibble

I think I might get hypnotized if I stare at those spirals for too long.

And finally, what's a stack of Reds cards without at least featuring Jose Rijo doing something goofy?
1995 Upper Deck Collector's Choice - Jose Reyes

Thanks a lot Roy!  And, as always, if anyone else would like to trade, check out my want list and make an offer!
