When Dayf from Cardboard Junkie contacted me about a trade saying he had some 1980 Topps that I needed I got pretty excited. He is one of the founding fathers of the baseball blogsphere. I sent off my part of the deal and waited, every time he contacted he'd say 'Sorry I haven't posted yet but I have found some more Red Sox cards'. The contents grew and grew. When they arrived this week from Acworth, Georgia I was pretty pleased that he delayed the package because it had grown into a monster.
Dayf included;
11 different packs of cards (one being a Star Wars pack, which when my boys laid eyes on, I never saw again, another being a SUPER SIZE pack of cards),
64 1980 Topps cards added to Pursuit of 1980 Topps,
A team set of 2008 Topps Red Sox,

A monumental selection of oddball Red Sox cards that will fit very nicely into my card collection.
Thanks Dayf. It was definitely worth the wait. I will be opening the packs in search of Red Sox in another of my Pursuits.

Since the Star Wars was a hit, I'll send some more next time on one condition: If you pull Princess Leia in a bikini, you have to post it.
Let me know what you are looking for outside of 80 Topps (I will look through my boxes on the morrow for those) and if you you would be willing to part with the Pedro. I am trying to put together complete runs (minus refractors) of Bazooka from 03-06.
