Trade Stack 35: Crinkle Cut Fries or Cards?

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)!

The Trade Stack:
Last update:  1/2/12

Another day, another card for the trade stack.  Right now, my Penn State Nittany Lions are getting crushed by Houston in the Rose Outback Capital One Gator Ticket City Bowl. I feel bad for the Penn State players who had to play Houston in the Ticket City Bowl because of something an ex-coach did (and that other higher-ups covered up).  That said, I also feel bad for Houston having to play in the crappy bowl game just because they don't come from one of the power conferences.  At least Houston seemed genuinely happy to be at the bowl though and seemed prepared to win from the outset.  There's no way I can say that for Penn State - but I knew it'd be bad news when their only quarterback who can throw the ball with any semblance of accuracy got in a locker room brawl and ended up with a concussion.  

Anyhow, in the spirit of getting steamrolled, I present the next addition to the trade stack:  A Starlin Castro Topps card complete with crinkly pack wrapping machine damage at the bottom of the card.  Wasn't there some set that made a whole parallel set with cards similar to this?  Maybe the Castro is a super rare parallel rather than a mistake card...maybe it's an eBay mojo 1/1!!!  Or maybe it's trash - just like Penn State's play.  You decide.

2011 Topps:
247.  Starlin Castro - Cubs




2010 Topps Allen & Ginter:
209.  Alex Gordon - Royals  
I don't know why some cards refuse to sit on my scanner bed in an orderly fashion.

2009 Upper Deck:
Star Quest:
Blue Uncommon
SQ-15.  Jose Reyes - Mets  


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!  You must leave a comment on the trade stack post in order to claim the card - no more claims via email!  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!
