Trade with Shane from Massachusetts

Thank goodness there was a Red Sox fan reading when I posted this,

Anyone want some Red Sox?.

The package Shane sent just grew and grew. What started as a few from my wants list developed into a monster. There are at least 600 Red Sox here, all off my wants list, but Shane didn't stop there. He felt that that wasn't quite enough, so he included some in person autographs, not 1, but 8 in-person autographs.

The autos included were;
1986 Topps Jim Rice
1987 Topps Rob Woodward
1996 Donruss Mike Stanton
1997 Best Wilton Veras
1997 Bowman Chris Reitsma (who include the personal Phil 4:13 with the auto)
1998 Score Brian Rose
1998 Team Best Dernell Stensen
1999 Fleer Ultra Darren Lewis

A very humble Thank you to Shane for the excellent trade.

Trade with Shoebox Legends

Shane from Shoebox Legends and I appear to have quite a bit in common, not just the Boston Red Sox, but Oddball and vintage baseball card collecting too. I have read with great interest as he hammers away at the 1953 Topps set. When I enquired about a trade and he agreed, I went through my cards looking for something of interest. I must have hit a good note because a 'box' of cards arrived yesterday from Johnston, Rhode Island.

Here what we have inside:


44 cards from the 1980 Topps set,
9 cards from the 2008 Goudey set,
A pack of 1989 Topps Double Headers,
A pack of 1986 Topps Leaders,
A pack of 1991 NHL series 1,
A pack of 2005 Upper Deck All Star classic plus...
