Another One Full Of Cardboard

It was another big-sized-a-lot-of-cards-involved trade with me and @APetrelak.

I have no idea what started this trade, but we dove in deep and fast into it and within a matter of a week or so, we pulled it off.

Alec and myself have pulled off many Twitter trades over the years and I have lost track of how many. Some are big and some are small. I would call this an in-between with nothing huge hauled in terms of valuable cardboard, just huge in volume. No matter the size or value, it's the good time we have doing these trades and helping each other out for our collections is what really matters.

This haul as I said was pretty big, my picture here doesn't really do it justice in the amount of volume I got.

 

 Let's check out this haul that included 90's inserts, rookie cards and some odds and ends just because.

Jordan Love green Prizm. Not sure when Love will or if hit the field but at least I have a rookie card of him.

Chase Briscoe autograph

Andruw Jones 90's insert

Will Hernandez is really struggling this season. He was supposed to be an all-star guard but is letting people go right by him.

Noah Gragson auto

Atomic Refractor, doesn't matter the player

When  I see this metal, I will take it all day. Don't care about the team or players involved.

Josh Jacobs yellow parallel

Alonso update rookie

NASCAR Prizms, no I don't really collect NASCAR, but looking at them I could I turn them down. My eyes see shiny and that's enough for me.

Thanks goes out to Alec for another solid trade and I look forward to our next.

Filling In Days

This week is the last full week of posts I have planned for this blog right now. Next week I have my usual segments of Autograph Of The Week, Kerry's Cardboard and Rodney's Cardboard but other than that, my blog has open slots without any thoughts yet on how to fill them.

With Covid-19 playing a role in all of this, I may have to get very creative and possibly lazy about filling in days. However I promise no Caption This and Random Card fill ins.

Luckily, a few days ago to fill in today's spot, I got a mail day from Rod over at Padrographs.who is giving cards away left and right. It's been a lot of fun despite my bad timing on checking it out late every time-Still kicking myself for showing up late for the Abby NCIS relic and Sean Harmon auto I really wanted-but I have been fortunate to claim a few cards.

This time I was able to target a couple of 90's cards he had posted. I had no rhyme or reason to claim other than the fact they are from my favorite time of collecting.

This is a 1996 Bowman Best Cut Insert of Andruw Jones. Who doesn't love a good die cut?

And this is a 1996 Finest Silver

 of Mike Piazza. These were uncommons inside of the base set. Meaning they were a tad harder to find than the others. I have always liked 90s Finest especially unpeeled ones.

Next up is this 90's Disney promo pack. I have no plans to open it as I find it cooler sealed. I have no idea overall these cards look like or are other than the top card, but I like it any way for my non sport PC.

Big thanks to Rod for running these daily giveaways. I look forward to that everyday right now and it's very inspiring to see (and takes mind off of the world). I may start to join in on the fun of doing these down the road like many other bloggers have (Highly Subjective and Completely Arbitrary and The Collector) because of what Jon over at A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts started.

But, it will be a little while until I can get stuff together and some more stamps to do so.

1997 Upper Deck UD3 Baseball Pack # 20

Pack 20 gives me three new set needs and some memories.

All I can remember of Mo was that he was the Ortiz of the 90's. Big dude that could hit. Mo delivered a grand slam in the game I went to see Griffey play in. Was a bad ending to a great day.

 

John was so dominant that my friends would fight in the backyard on who got to be him in our baseball matchups.

 

And Andruw makes me think back to when my father and I would try to chase down his rookie cards as he was the "it" factor.

 

 

Let's see if Pack #21 will be as memorable as this one tomorrow!
