Thursday Trading Post / Jeudi Comptoir Commercial


This trade comes from Canada, where both English and French are spoken widely. The French Canadians knew a thing or deux about making trades! Douglas of Sportscards from the Dollar Store and I have executed a flurry of transactions recently, and here is the latest.


Minnesota remains "The State of Hockey" even though one NHL team left and the other has been trying to compete with the MN State High School tourney for ice time ever since they arrived.


Baseball card collectors can have a little hockey, as a treat.


The Vikings are completing their annual agony tour, attempting to twist the Viking Horn deeper into the hearts of their fans by upsetting the Saints to set up a potential NFC championship matchup with long-time rival Green Bay. It's just as likely neither NFC North team will be in attendance at that game, but I'm sure they'd love nothing better than to inflict maximum psychological torture on fans by improbably managing to reach the championship again, playing just well enough to give people hope before ripping the football away like Lucy holding a field goal attempt for Charlie Brown.


This is a really cool card of high flyer Zach LaVine. The Wolves are having a mess of a season this year, and yet still sit near the final playoff spot along with 7 teams hovering just below .500 in the West. This card shimmers in the light and is numbered to just 60 copies!


I've been saying it every year since I started this blog, but if Buxton has a full, healthy season, there's no limit to what he can do. I'm pulling for him again this year, and Twins fans are going to be sad to see him go. Hopefully later than sooner! Thanks again for the trade, I've always got an eye on that list of 10 most wanted!

  1. Go Wild! Nice Buxton. I hope he has a good year. I still remember watching when he got his inside-the-park home run a few years back.

  2. Always fun to see a four-sport trade package like this one. The LaVine and Buxton are very nice!

    Good luck to the Vikes this weekend (I can't stand the Niners) I hope that NFC North showdown plays out in the title game :)
