Trade Stack #3: The Australian Knuckleball.

Here is how this works:

Every so often (i.e. whenever I feel like it), I will add a card to a "Trade Stack".  Whenever the stack becomes appealing enough to someone, that person needs to comment on the post saying they'd like to claim the stack AND tell me which card they are sending off of my want list.  That's all you have to do - trade me ONE card (or more, of course) card from my want list for the entire stack of cards that I'm offering.  Each time, it will be first come, first serve...so act quickly (unless of course you are a gambler and hope to wait it out until there are 10+ cards in the stack that you want in exchange for a single 2004 UD Vintage card that I am looking for)!

As you can probably tell, I love the idea of the trade stack - it serves two functions for me.  One, I get to acquire (albeit slowly) cards I need from my want list.  Two, I get to get rid of cards I no longer need.  However, sometimes there is a third reason why I love the trade stack - once in a while I get to show off a card (for trade) that otherwise wouldn't get any love on the blogs.  Today's card is one such card.  How can you go wrong with a card of Steve Sparks with the goofy photo on the front and the following information on the back write-up:  "Steve did some moonlighting in the offseason, serving as pitching coach for the Brisbane Bandits of the Australian Baseball League."  Oh yeah, he's a knuckleballer too!

Want the card(s) in the stack?  Act fast - tell me which card you will send me off my want list in the comments below!  If no one claims this card within a reasonable amount of time (a few hours up to a few days, depending) - I'll add another card to the stack and the process will start again!
