No Junk Here - just a #SuperTrade

 Cha-Ching! Wes from Jaybarkerfan's Junk treated several of the #SuperTraders this week with cards. I'm digging this coin of super utility pioneer Cesar Tovar.
 Lots of low numbered serial cards - Arcia may have figured out a more patient approach this spring, he's starting to show signs of a beastmode year.
 Gotta love the early 80s "junk" and a "vintage" Eddie Rosario snuck in there as well.
 Some sweet horizontal heroes - I think Cuddyer is my favorite. It's a pretty stupid subset, but the fact that the players all played along and showed off their rally caps makes it stupid in a good way. Cuddy goes with the "shark" variation.
 even more serial numbered goodness- Sano finally hit his first homer of the year this week, and it was a LASER BEAM. Barely cleared the wall in left center, but carried another 20 feet or so before slamming into the back of the Twins' bullpen.
 BOOOF! Thankful that this Sweet Spot Sig has not faded like some are wont to do. Looks great!
 Minis! Adam Walker is knocking on the door, now at AAA. There isn't really a place for him on the MLB Roster yet, but if he keeps up that prodigious power, he'll make room for himself.
We'll round it out with two more serial numbered cards - Sano is one of just 75 green refractors.

Thanks Wes! I'll be putting together a return package soon.

#Supertraders Leading off

Wes of Jaybarkerfan's Junk got the #supertrader ball rolling with a generous padded mailer chock full o Twins.

 Starting out we have some guys from a big gap in my collection - the early to mid 2000s are underrepresented in this house!
 "The Rat" and the Twins' current hitting coach Tom Brunansky at the height of their powers . . .
Randy Bush is not a household name by any means, but he had some very solid seasons in the 80s opposite Bruno and Kirby. He ended up platooning / coming off the bench more by the time the Twins won their first championship, but he was a regular contributor. I think Mark Lemongello my have my favorite name on that 77 Topps rookie card. A new to me Kirby is always nice, and the Killer is Serial numbered to 199!
 minis!
 The Big Mini! Miguel Sano is listed at 6'4" , 260 pounds. He was quoted recently as saying he worked hard in the offseason and dropped a whopping 5 pounds. He's still growing!
One more rat and the best free agent addition in Twins history (next to Josh Willingham, right Wes?).

Thanks so much for these and for getting the ball rolling for the Super Traders!
