Today marks the first day of Spring Break at the college where I work, and it couldn't have come at a much better time! I'm teaching a new course and I was fresh out of completed lessons! Now, I've got a week to get back ahead of schedule, and hopefully I'll be able to ride that momentum through to the end of the school year.
Because I've been swamped with work lately, I haven't had much time for baseball card trading. In fact, in the past week only one TCDB trade went through - so let's take a quick look at that one now!
Thanks to user mookdaruch, I was able to add three more needed 2025 Allen & Ginter cards to my collection. First up, this shiny Barry Larkin:
That's the Silver Portrait parallel, basically a regular card printed on foilboard. I don't get the need for this particular set, but as a player collector, I try to acquire them no matter how hypocritical that makes me feel.
The other two cards in the trade were a pair of needed mini inserts:
I'm down to needing only a small handful of mini inserts, but as any set collector will tell you, those last few cards are the toughest to track down!
Despite my limited hobby time lately, I'm still pleased to have gained a bit for my various collections. I do hope to carve out some baseball card time this week, so hopefully I'll have more TCDB swaps to show off by this time next week (when, sadly, I'll have to be back at work)!
