Let's get back to trading. A short while ago this package arrived from Matt at Heartbreaking Cards of Staggering Genius. This was in response to a pile of Mariners and Royals I sent his way. Matt and Travis at Punk Rock Paint have inspired me to attempt making my own cards. They are complete crap but the attempt has been made. Makes you realise the effort they put in. The beauty of this trade was the mixture of cards sent, late 1970's, some early 80's and a few lovely shiny cards, which I know we all appreciate.These are some of the Red Sox cards Matt sent from Lawrence, Kansas;

Here is the second helping of the selection of cards sent by Matt from 
It has been amazingly quiet on the trading front for a few weeks now. So quiet in fact, that the postman, who I am now on first name terms with, handed me this package and said 'This has been the first package for a while from the US'. Actually its the first package full stop for a while, as there are no baseball cards of any note on e-bay UK either.
