TCDB Monday!

Happy Monday, everyone!  As per usual for me, it's time for a look at another week's worth of TCDB trading.  Admittedly, trading has slowed down a fair bit for me lately but this week I did manage to bring in four small trade envelopes.

Let's begin with a pair of new-to-me Larkin cards from user jfcard. 


I traded away a Ronald Acuna rookie card for the above two Larkins - probably not a great deal on my end but the 2000 Fleer Tradition card is actually the "glossy" factory set version which I haven't seen before...I guess that's the cost of acquiring new stuff!

Next up, from user Burnsie42 comes another new-to-me Larkin card plus a card from my want list:  


The Leaf card is one of the random variations that is missing a period on the back.  Yes, I do feel dumb trading for such trivial things but that's the cost of being a player collector!  The Chad Hermansen is one of the pesky short printed Future Star cards from the 2000 Stadium Club set - a set that I still have a long ways to go on!

2000 Topps Stadium Club Wants:
Base:  208, 210, 211, 212, 215, 216, 218, 220, 222, 226, 228, 229, 230, 233, 234, 244, 247, 249, 250

The third package of the week comes from user AnalogKid.  


This was one of those rare trades where I acquired multiple cards from my want list but no new Larkin cards!  The 2012 A&G mini is the ad back version for what it's worth.

Last, but certainly not least, comes a single card PWE from user Calyanksfan.  


That's a 2011 Gypsy Queen short print - yet another short print laden set that I'm still working on.  I often wonder which I'll finish first - the 2000 Stadium Club set or the 2011 Gyspy Queen set...both have been super slow collecting!

2011 Topps Gypsy Queen Wants:
Base: 
  1, 310, 311, 313, 315, 317, 323, 326, 330, 331, 339, 341, 342, 345, 346, 348, 349

That does it for this week on TCDB.  Not a bad week - knocked four cards off of my want list and landed three more new Larkin cards.  I can't complain!  Hopefully I have more goodies to show off in next week's mailbag!

  1. That 1992 Leaf Larkin is a great looking card. Seems like lots of bloggers are finding success on TCDB.
