I heard on the radio that last week was meant to be the most depressing week of the year. A comforting thought. They reasoned that Christmas was a distant memory, the overspend and indulgence of the period was hitting hard, we were all back to the grindstone, it was a while till the next payday, the Christmas chocolates were all eaten and the days were still dark.Last week was a miserable, cold wet week.
Most depressing week-HA! A bounty of trade packages dropped through my letter box.
The second package, a stack of Red Sox comes from Shellie, a Colorado Rockies fan and writer of the blog The Middle Child arrived early in the week.
I haven't traded with Shellie before and it was great to find a destination for the Rockies cards mounting.
Shellie sent a great selection of Red Sox old, new, needed and unknown. It will keep me busy for a few days.Thank you 'The Middle Child'.

A little while ago I sent out a call for 2009 Goodwin Champions, as this was the set I had chosen to complete in 2009. I am fully aware that a little poetic licence has been taken to call this a baseball set, roughly a quarter of the base set of 150 cards are non-baseball. I think they did a damn fine job and the inserts are unique. A personal favourite is the Entomology series of 30 cards, who would think of putting butterflies and baseball together.
I need 91 to complete the base set;
