Delivery Time: Rekindling the Cardboard Flame

Last month, I sent out a slew of my "Season of Giving" packages - and as I've said before, while I didn't expect or require anything in return there were a few people who did send me something back.  One such person was Tyler from the Rekindling the Cardboard Flame blog.  I had sent Tyler a flat rate full of Mariners cards (hopefully some that he needed) as part of my Season of Giving.  Tyler took it upon himself to send me a couple of goodies as a way of thanks.

First up, a first (but not the last time as a future mail day post will prove), I received a LEGO set in exchange for some baseball cards.

As a LEGO collector that's AWESOME.  It truly doesn't matter to me what set (big or small, etc.) someone sends my way - I can always use the pieces for my own creations.  I'll show off this set at some point on my LEGO-centric blog but I had to show it off here too since it was the result of a baseball card trade.

Besides the LEGO set, Tyler also included a few cards from the 2017 Topps Archives set that I needed.
Of that grouping I think the Duke Snider is my favorite - for whatever reason the image choice and coloration of the photograph appeals to me.  As for the other cards, I used to pull Ivan Rodriguez cards all that time back in the late 90s...so getting one now is a flashback of sorts.  I also like the Yuli rookie card, happy to have that in my collection too.

In terms of the 2017 Archives set, here's what remains after the chunk that Tyler was able to fill in for me:
2017 Topps Archives wants:Base:  2, 8, 11, 13, 52, 61, 63, 72, 79, 103, 110, 122, 132, 142, 157, 202, 204, 207, 210, 215, 218, 244, 249, 255, 266, 284, 287, 288, 290, 291, 295, 297, 300
Thanks for the fun return package, Tyler.  I'm looking forward to building that LEGO set...and filling in holes in my set binder pages is also always a thrill.  I'd say you sent along the perfect package for me.  As for anyone else, if you'd like to trade - check out my want list and make an offer!

  1. Haven't jumped on board with those Lego Microfighters, but I thought about picking up The Ghost and The Falcon. That Wookie Gunship is pretty cool too.

  2. Happy to return the favor! There were definitely a lot of needs in your package. I need to do a post on it soon
