Delivery Time! Trade with Ryan from O No, Another Orioles Blog

I've been busy busting, scanning, and writing up the second group break packs - but that won't stop me from showing off the occassional trade!  One of the latest trades came from a group break participant, Ryan over at "O" No!!! Another Orioles Blog.  In exchange for some Orioles cards off of Ryan's want lists, Ryan sent me a TON of cards off my want list. 

Amongst the cards Ryan sent, a few of my favorites:

2008 Upper Deck:262.  Chad Durbin

This card isn't particularly interesting to me - except for the fact that it means I'm now only missing one card from the '08 Upper Deck base set, card #145.

Star Quest Uncommon:
SQ-13.  Magglio Ordonez
SQ-15.  Jake Peavy

SQ-21.  Johan Santana
SQ-28.  Brandon Webb

Star Quest Rare:
SQ-15.  Jake Peavy
SQ-21.  Johan Santana
SQ-31.  Adam Dunn

For all the Reds cards I've received from people over the last couple years of blogging, it's amazing that I still needed this one.  I'm the only one that I'm aware of who is actually trying to complete all four "tiers" of the 2008 Star Quest inserts.

Super Rare:
SQ-3.  Prince Fielder
SQ-42.  Derek Jeter
SQ-46.  Ichiro

2009 Topps Updates & Highlights:
Ryan sent me a ton of these off my want list (48 of them to be exact).  Amongst those, a few of my favorites:
UH91.  Anderson Hernandez

UH179.  Carl Crawford

UH299.  Ryan Langerhans

2010 Topps:
Cards Your Mother Threw Out:
CMT-9.  Carl Yastrzemski

CMT-16.  Willie McCovey
CMT-53.  Alfonso Soriano
I'm still missing a whole bunch of these (#1, 3, 15, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 44, 45, 47, 50, 51, 52, and 56) but I'm slowly marching towards a complete set thanks to the three new ones that Ryan sent me.

History of the Game:
HOT10.  Babe Ruth
HOT13.  Babe Ruth

HOT16.  First Televised World Series
These three cards completed my History of the Game insert set!

Tales of the Game:
TOG-1.  Ty Cobb

I'm still missing a few Tales of the Game (#20, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30).  A quick question, do the Tales of the Game cards #26 through 30 actually exist?  It seems weird that I'm still missing those five consecutive cards after searching so long - and after opening a pair of jumbo boxes earlier in the year.

Legendary Lineage:
LL10.  Johnny Bench & Ivan Rodriguez

LL24.  Bob Gibson & Tim Lincecum
LL27.  Tony Gwynn & Joe Mauer
Thanks to those three cards, I'm only missing three cards from this insert set (#6, 15, 29).  If anyone has any (or all) of those for trade, let me know!

Peak Performers:
PP-4.  Walter Johnson
PP-9.  Bob Gibson
PP-16.  Vladimir Guerrero
PP-21.  Jimmie Foxx
PP-28.  Johnny Mize

PP-30.  Prince Fielder
PP-33.  Cy Young
PP-37.  Hanley Ramirez
PP-46.  Rogers Hornsby
Considering how large this insert set is, I'm making solid progress.  I'm still missing the following:  3, 6, 13, 18, 20, 25, 29, 36, 43, 45.

Wow!  What a great trade package - thank you Ryan for knocking so many cards off of my want list in one swoop.  I'll definitely be looking through my cards to find some good Orioles to send your way.

Finally, as always, if anyone else would like to work out a trade, check out my want list and make an offer!
