It is always good to find a new trade partner.
Jim from the wonderfully named GCRL, or Garvey Cey Russell Lopez, contacted and said he had a 1980's Topps card from my wants list and would like to send some other Red Sox. I expected a few but not the 200 count box full of cards.
I enjoy reading about the collecting habits of different bloggers. The Red Heart dog food and the Fleer Sticker project are favourites of mine, different and challenging. Jim is endeavouring to collect the 1978 Topps Dodgers set with autographs. He calls this a modest endeavour but is he well on his way at 48% success. I for one am enjoying reading about the joy he shares when he obtains an auto through the mail or from e-bay. Recently he met Jack Morris, who signed his 1978 Topps card in person. Great stuff.
