After today, there is only one more Monday in March. That's exciting. I'm sick of winter, and I'm ready for my academic semester to be completed! In the meantime, how about some baseball card trades to keep our minds off the rain (and snow) that often accompany the end of March?
We'll start with a simple swap with TCDB user realbigexplosion:
That's one of the final three cards that I needed for the 2025 Allen & Ginter N222 mini set. With the Brooks Lee card in hand, I'm now only missing #16 (Fernando Tatis, Jr.) and #25 (Kevin Alcantara). I'm certainly pleased to have the "big names" already acquired (Ohtani, Judge, etc.). I have high hopes that I'll be able to finish this set soon.
Next up, from user La Loosh comes the final mini that I needed from the 2025 Allen & Ginter "Beachin' It" set!
The Seven Mile Beach is located on the western side of Grand Cayman. According to the card back, the entire waterfront is open to the public, not just guests of the luxury hotels (which is nice for us "common folk"). Of course, I've never been to Grand Cayman, but the thought is lovely.
Finally, from user Imcgown comes three more minis:
That Olson was a mistake on my end (I had already purchased it on COMC but forgot to mark it "in transit" over on TCDB). I also ended up trading for that Acuna twice in the span of about a week (whoops), so overall, only the Eastern Bluebird card ended up slotting into my binder pages. Oh well, hopefully I can trade that Acuna for one of the two missing N222 cards that I still actually need!
That does it for the past week on TCDB. Overall, things are getting better for me (I'm finally not sick, the weather is slowly coming around, and the semester is starting to wind down). Once work is done, I'll hopefully have a lot more time to devote to cards - until then, I'll sneak in trades when I can!
It got into the 90's last week, so I actually miss the cold weather. But I'm right there with you on completing the academic semester.
