Group Trade: The Aftermath!

Daylight Savings has stolen an hour of sleep from me, but that can't stop me from organizing and collating the cards from the big group trade!

The Google Hangout ran into a little technical glitch about an hour in, but the connection was eventually restored after a few false starts, and the last all five boxes were opened on webcam. You can watch it all here. Comments from everyone watching live are also found on that link.

Here is a quick recap:

Boxes opened:
1996 Pinnacle
1999 Fleer Ultra
2002 Topps Gallery
2002 Fleer Greats
2003 Topps Stadium Club

Here's all the cards, unsorted:

Here are the HITS!

Pinnacle Inserts:

The last card shown is a rookie base card, red letters instead of black.

Fleer Ultra Inserts:

1 Gold Medallion per pack, I think my favorite insert was the Jeff Bagwell "THUNDERCLAP" card. So 90s!

2002 Topps Gallery Inserts:

 Top row are base cards, bottom row are the inserts - it was pretty much all base cards in the box. Fortunately, the base cards from that set are awesome!

2002 Fleer Greats:

I did a coin flip on the card featuring Tony Perez and Carl Yazstrezmski - it went to Shane (Red Sox), so I'll throw in something extra into the Reds side of things - some kind of insert...

2003 Topps Stadium Club:

1 gold card per pack, two Beam Team cards, doubles of Jason Giambi's "Stadium Shots" card (thanks Topps) and that was it. Some of the stadium club base cards had some odd residue on them, reminded a bit of soapy buildup on glasses. As a result, I put a little extra into everyone's stacks, just because it seemed like the fair thing to do.
