Sometimes when I do small 1 or 2 card trades, I feel like they aren't enough to warrant their own blog post. I've done a lot of these trades since the calendar flipped to 2025, so in an effort to catch up a bit, I decided to bundle some together.
First, I have a TCDB trade with Samuel from Stromsburg, NE. It was a small 2 card trade, but one of those cards ended up in the Time Travel Trading stack. The one card I got for myself was this great Yaz from the 2016 Topps Bunt set. I can't help but look at the positioning of the catcher's mitt and think he's holding Yaz up!
Next was a trade proposed to me by Steffan of Austin, TX. I still haven't seen any of the 2024 Topps Update set locally, so I've been picking up the Red Sox from the set when I can. I also knock off the old desired list a card of World Series MVP Steve Pearce!
Our final trade of the day comes from John over in Lumberton, NJ. His original trade proposition was a very lopsided trade where I sent two cards and he would have sent 10 needed cards from my pursuit of the 2024 Topps set. Unfortunately by then I had those cards coming in from elsewhere, but I was able to counter with these two cards from the 1st Series of the 1980 Cramer Baseball Legends set. These are the only 2 Red Sox in Series 1, so that's one more team set complete!
My sincerest thanks to Samuel, Steffan, and John! These cards may not have been worth the stamp you used to send them, but they are greatly appreciated!
Wow. I thought you were joking but he really did win WS MVP.
ReplyDeleteThat Pearce card has a surprisingly good background for a modern card.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to one day stumble across a person selling all five series of that Cramer Baseball Legends set. I think it'd be cool to put it in a binder and flip through it from time to time.
