LOADED Trade Mail Day From @GregorioGuindon

What started out as a conversation with one person that I thought may be interested in a 8x10 Panini Sammy Watkins autograph, turned into a conversation with another person and a completed trade.

My conversation began with @dpalagi518 who I started a discussion with to trade the Watkins. In the midst of our convesation, he suggested that I go discuss my trading piece with @GregorioGuindon who was collecting Watkins and might enjoy it for his man cave wall.

Trusting @dpalagi518 suggestion, I started my trade talk with @GregorioGuindon and we were able to work out a trade pretty fast. I also added in a few other cards in the trade as well. I was happy with what I was receiving that the fact that I was able to find someone who would enjoy the Watkins more than myself.

Not only did the trade happen fast, so didn't the arrival of the mail day from the trade. Here is my score:

(You must have guessed that more Andre Williams were involved)

This one is numbered to 49. I love the look of it with the rainbow shine.

A Spectra rookie/jersey auto

One of my very few Topps Triple Threads cards. This is a nice addition however the auto seems to get lost in that big gold box lol.

Then this sick patch auto. Look at that patch!!

All of these Williams were new adds as well.

Not only did he trade me those, he threw in some FREEBIES!

Some numbered goodies here including two Damontre Moore rookies. I really hope he takes off this year

And also a Eli and Plax jersey cards. I really miss watching these two hook up in the Red Zone. If only Plax hadn't made one mistake in his life who knows where his career would be right now. Anyways, it's my first jersey card of his as well.

A big thanks goes out to @dpalagi518 for suggesting I go make a trade with @GregorioGuindon. And a HUGE thanks goes out to @GregorioGuindon for being an awesome trading partner who is now added to my trade circle. Thanks again for the extras as well. Much appreciated!!

Another Trade Mail Day With @dpalagi518

Up until the last six months or so, I hadn't traded very much. I kinda just kept stuff to myself and didn't want to take any chances with trading with the fear of finding an untrustworthy trade partner. But, recently, I have been adding some great traders to my trade list and one of them is @dpalagi518. He is not only a great trader, but he is a great guy as well.

I helped him fill a few PC needs and sent a few extras as well for good measure. This is what I got in return.

An Andre Williams Elite auto

And one of my favorite Williams cards I have so far in a Topps Prime Level V auto/memorabilia card. I love the overall look and balance of it. This card was a must in this trade and luckily @dpalagi518 was generous to give it up as he too collects Williams.

Also, with most of his trades I have seen him make including one with me in the past, he threw in some sweet 90's bonus packs.

Here were the best cards from those packs including a Giants PC add and a Jerry Rice card

Overall, another successful trade and a trader I highly recommend to all of my readers.

Thanks again goes out to @dpalagi518 for this trade and I look forward to more future trades with him.

What's In The Mail Box? @dpalagi518 Contest Mail Day!

I recently won a contest on Twitter from one of the hobby good guys, @dpalagi518.

Here is the prize that arrived today. I must note before you continue on reading that there were also six 1993 Upper Deck Ted Williams Best Hitters cards as well. For some reason, my camera decided that they looked best with a pink tint on them. I decided my camera needs to be replaced and didn't post the pics :)

Here are some sweet adds. Someone pays close attention to my posts and Tweets about my passion of 90's cards and Chrome. Especially refractors!

Then some sweet 1990's packs...did I open...you won't know til January :) But, I am pretty stoked about these!

A nice autograph...

And I love this addition. This is only my second National Treasures card and I am a big fan of jersey swatches that aren't just from a regular NFL game.

Overall, some nice additions so a big thank you is deserved.

Thanks again @dpalagi518 for the mail day and I recommend you giving him a follow on Twitter if you haven't yet.

As always, thoughts on my mail days are always welcomed!
