I bought a hanger box (35 cards) and two jumbo packs.
The hanger box had a nice Chrome section in the middle:
The two jumbo packs had a high number in each one:
nothing special . . .
... or so I thought.
Before watching the break, I would never have even thought about those tiny codes on the back, but I ended up finding this guy as a result:
Super Short Print!
Now, what to do with it? I'm sure there are Cardinals fans (hey, maybe even Braves fans) that would want to have this card... I don't want to sell the thing... Maybe I'll keep it? I would definitely trade it for some vintage 1966 Topps from my wantlist, in nice condition (EX or better) of course...
Here's a quick look at some more cards I pulled that might interest other folks - these are open for trade, too.
And in case it was missed earlier, I was too quick to pull the trigger on this Joe Mauer relic, because I have one coming to me in the break as well.
And I also got a Reds relic (Billy Hamilton) on Saturday to send to Nachos Grande, but he pulled it for himself in one of the first boxes:
So, yeah, if you're planning on building the set, let me know, I've got a little stack going here to trade. My slot in the break included the Rockies, and I've already done at least one trade with 3 different Rockies bloggers, so I will likely be holding onto those to trade with those guys (assuming I don't just keep a few of them for myself).
hey brian - i'm interested in the kershaw. we need to figure out how to swap cards from your trade break, too.
ReplyDeleteCool - I will add it to the stack. I'll send an e-mail when I get home from work and we can figure out what's the easiest to get those Dodgers to you.
DeleteI'll trade for the Ortiz
ReplyDeleteSounds good, Mark - I will put together a little package of Red Sox this weekend and send it your way early in the week.
