I recently completed a trade with Jason from Hobbs' Knights. I sent Jason some Topps Lineage cards plus a few Gypsy Queen cards - in return, I ended up with a smattering of cards from a variety of sets on my want list.
2011 Topps:
Diamonds:
Adam Moore, Yovani Gallardo, and Jed Lowrie
Three more diamond parallels for my collection. The march towards completing the diamond parallel set has basically become much more of a crawl...so anytime I get to mark any cards off my want list I'm happy. The three diamonds also land Jason three entries into my contest.
2011 Allen & Ginter:
Animals in Peril:
5. Gharial
I bought a case of Ginter and still couldn't manage to complete all the regular insert sets - including the Animals in Peril set. As of this moment, I'm still missing three more (2, 24, and 25). For the Gharial card itself, I must say that I'm a fan! The Gharial is the last member of its family to not go extinct (though only 200 or so remain)...a loss of 97% since 1946! In today's day and age with emphasis on preservation, it's amazing that the Gharial has taken such a devastating hit in total population. That said, I don't think I would want one of the 200 remaining crocs swimming anywhere near my house...
2009 Topps American Heritage:
Base:
148. Barack Obama
American Presidents:
AP37. Richard Nixon
In a bit of a surprise (compared to most of my trades this year), Jason was able to help me eliminate a couple of cards from my 2009 set needs. For the most part, once a calendar year is over, it seems quite difficult to finish up an old set...so any help is appreciated!
Thanks for the trade Jason! And, as always, if anyone else would like to trade, check out my want list and make an offer!
