Tradin' 'til next year

Tom from Waiting 'Til Next Year sent along a package last week. I've been sending over the occaisional PWE and package to P-Town, and we've established a regular trade route. 

Check out these awesome Jumbo Heritage cards! They feature the Twins' two All-Stars from last year, who formed the battery for the game's final out. Perkins is a local guy, as they mentioned about 50 times during the All-Star Game, growing up about 15 miles from Target Field/The Metrodome
These Post/Jell-o Cards are great - they refer to the Twins as "Minneapolis" - it must have been released at a very specific time as the team switched over to the "Minnesota Twins" pretty much instantly.
Killer.
Four future Twins (well, I think Gonsalves is pretty much a lock, Baxendale has a good shot, and Navarreto has an outside chance given the organizational depth at catcher- Ryan Walker...? He's got a long way to go)
Some Hometown Heroes! I just busted a box of these (post coming later on that), the insert in the top left was not in the box, so it's cool to get that one. The Ozzie Arcia is new to me, too.
Awesome! Thanks Tom!

  1. Love the Post/Jell-O cards! And, as you could see from my most recent post, I love the look of the 2014 All-Star cards -- all 5x7 of them!

    2. Yes - Loved those vintage 58 All-Star cards you posted. I just won one in an eBay auction, might need its own post, just have to think of a good way to feature it.

  2. Hometown Heroes was an underrated set. Love those! Great stuff from Tom.

  3. Hey, if you're working on the Hometown Heroes set I have plenty dupes to help fill your set needs. I think I'm down to needing only seven cards for my (non SP) set.

    1. I just posted the box I opened of HH this morning, I like the design, but I don't think I will be set building it - so maybe I have some that you need?
      The last few trade packages have included some HH, and none of them are dupes, so that's pretty fun.
      I'd have to look at a checklist to see what I would want to add that I didn't already get in the box...
