Trade with Greg from 'The Bench'

The third package to arrive recently was from Greg in Post Falls, Indiana. He was one of three people who agreed to a trade through the forum 'The Bench'. Although I only arranged three trades through this forum, each of the members have gone above and beyond in the cards they sent. I will continue to pursue trades for the Mariners, Blue Jays and Diamondbacks, there must be collectors of these teams out there somewhere, surely. These are the only three teams I have left to make a trade partner, although some collectors have streamlined their collections so I will be looking for different collectors for the Yankees, Brewers and Marlins.

Deep breath ....There were 4 cards that had a limited print run, a jersey card, 2 Jacoby and load of Pedro's and Nomar's. WOW!

Is there something wrong with Roger Clemens. I seem to be getting quite a few of his cards lately. Has he fallen out of favour, I know there were rumours of drugs cheat. What has happened?
