TCDB Monday: I Love Score Serially-Numbered Cards!

Happy Monday, everyone!  As usual, the start of the work week means it's time for another check-in on my TCDB trades for the previous week.

This week, we begin with a trade with TCDB user cardnut23:

That's a 2016 Topps Bunt Platinum parallel which is numbered out of 99!  I don't often get the opportunity to acquire serially numbered Barry Larkin cards in trade so I jumped at the chance to land this one when it became available on the site.  As an extra bonus, I even like the design and overall look of the '16 Bunt set!

Next up from this past week is a PWE from user HOGOFOGO.

That's a "High Gloss Factory Set" card from the 2004 Upper Deck set.  According to baseballcardpedia.com, only 9930 of the High Gloss Factory sets were produced but the card itself is not serially-numbered in any way.  I also had to dig out my Barry Larkin binder in order to see what the difference was between this "high gloss" card and the regular retail version of the same card.  All I can say is that this card is glossier, but not enough so that I'd say it'd be easy to pick cards from each respective set if they were all mixed together in a pile on a table!

Finally, we end the week with a PWE from user David657:

Yep, something other than a Barry Larkin card!  That's actually one of the last few cards that I need for my 2000 Skybox Metal set build.  With the Soriano now in hand, I'm down to needing only five more cards from the set:

2000 Skybox Metal Wants:
Base:  204, 215, 232, 239, 247

That does it for this past week on TCDB!  I'm still waiting on a few other trades to show up in my mailbox (including the one with what's probably the highest value card that I've traded for on the site to date...you know, the same envelope that should have been here last week and wasn't).  Yeah, I'm starting to get a bit nervous about that swap but hopefully all will end well (and hopefully you'll get to see what I traded for next week)!
