Delivery Time! Cards from Crinkly Wrappers!

This package is courtesy of Ted over at Crinkly Wrappers. I know I sent Ted a few diamond legends cards - I don't recall if I sent him much else but either way I'm convinced I was the one that made out better with the trade!  Ted knocked a ton of cards off my want list - including the following:

First, a bit 'ol pile of Diamond parallels.

My diamond parallel set is now down to needing only 40 cards now...there's still some hope that I'll actually complete the thing!
Diamond parallel needs:  83, 306, 339, 342, 343, 369, 371, 380, 381, 388, 397, 400, 403, 408, 424, 440, 455, 462, 464, 484, 504, 511, 520, 528, 529, 533, 534, 537, 548, 550, 561, 573, 579, 603, 605, 612, 640, 649, 652, 657 

Next, a trio of Topps Lineage Reds Platinum parallels.

Unlike the flagship set from last year, I decided to only chase after the Reds parallels in the Lineage set.  I'm getting closer to that goal but I still need quite a few more (considering how few Reds there were in the set).

And the last group of cards from my want list - a big pile of 2011 Bowman Platinum.

The Bowman Platinum set has proven to be much harder to complete than I thought it would be considering it's only 100 cards in size and there are no short prints.  At the moment, I still need the following:
 Bowman Platinum:  2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 34, 35, 39, 46, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 64, 65, 67, 68, 73, 75, 77, 83, 85, 86, 89, 90, 94, 96, 97, 99

However, Ted didn't stop there - oh no.  He sent me a bunch more cool stuff of the Reds variety!

Ted sent me my first two Reds stickers from last year's sticker set - a Ramon Hernandez and this really nice Jay Bruce card.

Next, another small card - this one a black bordered Gypsy Queen card of Joey Votto - an instant favorite for me!

Speaking of favorites - check out this gorgeous Johnny Bench card from Topps Marquee (a set that I've never opened a single pack of in all my life).

That photo must have been taken during the World Series as it looks like Bench just knocked some Athletics bum out.  Love it!

And finally, in a package of great cards - this one might be the best of them all - a brand new Larkin card for my collection...

..and one that is numbered out of 625 no less!

Thanks for all the great cards Ted - and as always, if anyone else wants to trade - check out my want list and make an offer!
