A few people have wondered how I choose cards for the various trade stacks. While I'd love to say I have a highly sophisticated method of card selection, the real truth is that I have a stack of cards in my desk that I think would be "fun" to add to the trade stack (all for various reasons). Some of the cards, like the Pirates Leaders card from yesterday, I add because I want to mix up the decades represented (and the teams). Others, like the Sailors mini card that started this particular stack I add because I like most stacks to have at least one insert card. I also have some cards pulled aside that are "designed to attract". That is, some of the card that I add to the trade stack I fully expect to be the card that causes the stack to be claimed (diamond parallels would be a good current example). Finally, I have a bunch of cards that I've set aside for use in my trade stacks because they are simply "fun" cards for a variety of reasons. Today's addition to the stack falls under the last category. Is the card below a Yankees card or a Blue Jays card? From what I gather reading different blogs, most people think like I do - that is, the team name printed on the card is the team that the card represents. Others, however, seem to say the team in the photo is the team that the card represents... What about you? Which camp do you belong to?
