Today marks my return to the classroom after a long holiday break. It's always tough to go back to work after a vacation but I find heading back in the middle of cold, dark January to be much easier than heading back in hot, sunny August for the start of a new school year!
One thing that is always good, no matter the time of year, is baseball cards in the mail and this past week didn't disappoint on that front. I received several TCDB mailings so let's jump right in starting with a PWE from user timriess:
That's a 2024 Allen & Ginter Chrome Refractor of Johan Rojas. I'm still plugging away at the 100-card Refractor set so any help I can get via trading is appreciated!
Next, we stick with 2024 Allen & Ginter except this time it was a trade for a bunch of needed mini cards courtesy of user Ryegram:
Three more mini Chrome cards (that's also a 100-card set that's proving to be a bit easier to trade for as compared to the Chrome Refractor cards). In addition, three assorted mini insert cards from 2024 Allen & Ginter. I'm nearly done with the Ballpark Bites set, however, I still have a ways to go on both the US States and the World Flags sets.
My next trade was with iceman2081 and this one didn't involve 2024 Allen & Ginter:
While most of my trading has involved Ginter lately, I am still working on a few other set including the 1997 Metal set. I was happy to be able to swing a deal for the Ken Griffey, Jr. card, in particular, as the stars are always harder to trade for it seems! The only thing that is a bummer about the Metal set is how poorly the cards scan compared to how they look in hand.
Next up, from user jimham89 comes more 2024 Allen & Ginter goodies:
Three more mini inserts including a card celebrating corn dogs plus two more US State cards.
Finally, we end with a swap with user Mehurley86:
Even though this trade only netted me one card, it might go down as my favorite trade of the week simply because it finishes off a set from my want list!
All things considered, it was a great week of trading on TCDB! I do imagine that things will slow down (both because I'll be busier with work but also because people are moving on from A&G which means finding cards that I still need will continue to get harder and harder). No matter, I'm still quite pleased with the past week and I'd say I'm ready to tackle a new semester! Have a good week, everyone!
