Delivery Time! Trade with Tim from Better Luck Next Pack

With finals finally over (and graded), it's time for me to get caught up on trade packages - and group break posts!  Today's overdue post is the result of a package that Tim (from the not really updated Better Luck Next Pack blog).  I sent Tim a bunch of UD Masterpieces he needed, plus a trade stack - in return, he sent me the following:

2011 Topps:
Diamond parallel:
75.  Jared Weaver

Slowly, but surely I'm completing this set.  This one card will net Tim one additional entry in my complete set giveaway contest happening later this year.  I'm only a card or two away from having 70% of the set complete.  In fact, by the time this post goes "live" on my blog, I should be over the 70% threshold given all the cards that are heading my way.

60 Years of Topps:
60YOT-20.  Nolan Ryan

I had this card once already, but I traded it away to my younger brother since he was only missing six or seven assorted inserts to have a full master set complete.  I'm happy to now have a new copy for my own binder...and I'm even happier to be that much closer to having Series 1 wrapped up.  There's still a (slim) chance I could have all of Series 1 done before Series 2 hits shelves...that would be a first for me!

2010 Allen & Ginter:
Regular back mini:
296.  Barry Zito

This is more like it - a set that's a year old that I am still missing a whole bunch of cards from.  It seems like I've acquired a lot more Ginter minis than I really have...I'm still missing a boat load from the set.  Based on the slow process of acquiring the mini cards, I am glad I only opted to try for the regular mini set as opposed to the black border or ad back minis!

1991 Fleer:
57.  Glenn Braggs
59.  Tom Browning
60.  Norm Charlton
79.  Jose Rijo

Reds Sticker

You would think that based on all the assorted Reds cards that people have sent me over the years I'd have the full yellow bordered '91 Fleer set.  If you thought that, you'd be incorrect however!  Someday (maybe this summer), I'm going to go through my binders and figure out which sets I want to try and complete and which I think I'll only chase the Reds cards from.  I'm also still looking for a way to get full team set checklists for various set - does anyone know of a way to do that (preferably for free)?  Any helps is appreciated!

Thanks for the cards Tim!  And, as always, if anyone else would like to trade - check out my want list and make an offer!
