Note:
I covered part 2 of the recent trade package from David here, read that first if you missed it then come back here!
---
We dip back into the trade envelope in order to pick out some more goodies to show. What better way to begin than with a pair of autographs?
Yep - two football autos of guys that I've at least heard of! I'm a Steelers fan so neither guy is overly exciting to me but an autograph is autograph as they say!
From the autos, we move on to things I do collect - namely Reds! David sent me a couple of Johnny Bench cards - one is this Gypsy Queen card which I happen to like quite a bit.
The one thing I don't get about this year's Gypsy Queen is why the neon colored backs? Weird to me, is it some sort of throwback to an old set that I'm unaware of? I will say, the more Gypsy Queen cards that I get, the more I want to collect the set. That's a dangerous thing to start thinking about, especially with Allen & Ginter around the corner.
The next Bench is much smaller - and a sticker! Along with Bench is a Reds logo (plus a logo of some team from the
other league)...
Rounding out this post is a few of the oddballs sent me way. A Pete Rose Baseball tattoo wrapper?
Check.
A woman in baseball who played in the late 40s?
Check.
A Squirt card?
Check.
Great stuff - and sometimes getting a package full of random stuff is a lot of fun - not every envelope has to knock off cards from
my want list! What's even better is that I STILL haven't even gotten to my favorite cards in the package! Stay tuned to the blog for more goodies from David coming up!
