Another Monday, another TCDB trade recap post.
We'll jump right in with a trade that took a long time to complete. User gradnin and I agreed to a trade back in early April, and we both sent our respective cards along. My cards arrived at his place in a standard amount of time, but for some reason, his envelope must have gotten lost at some point in its travels. It took nearly two months, but the envelope did finally arrive last week!
I'm super glad this trade ended up showing up, because it means that I've now finished the 2025 Topps Allen & Ginter 50 State Birds set! That's the 11th different set that I've completed off of my want list thus far this year, an accomplishment that I'm certainly pleased about!
Next up, from user coachnfisher comes a 2026 Barry Larkin card that I needed:
That's a 1991 Topps 35th Anniversary Crackle Foil parallel. I'll admit, it's a pretty cool-looking card, even if the idea of parallels of inserts is still stupid to me.
Finally, we end with a trade with user paulie3jobs:
That's the regular 1991 Topps 35th Anniversary insert, which goes along nicely with the parallel from the previous trade! It's hard to believe how many Barry Larkin cards are still being produced, despite Larkin having been retired since the 2004 MLB season!
That does it for the past week on TCDB. Two new-to-me Barry Larkin cards and a completed set, not bad for a week's work.
