There are two collectors that I have been in touch with from Canada, Bill from 'Waxaholic' and Ryan from 'Trader Crack's'
. It is an original and informative take on the cards he collects. He doesn't restrict himself to just sports either. He has shared High School Musical, Heroes, Terminator, Buffy, Hellboy, Spiderman, The Hulk and more recently Conan the Barbarian. My personal favourite was the Brady Bunch Thanksgiving cards. Where did you dig those up from? Brilliant.
He is also a Montreal Expo's collector, which I think but I'm not sure, is a rare commodity. You may have to explain the Expo's name sometime though.
Here is the selection I sent Ryan.
(Link) Glad he enjoyed them.
And here it is my first package from CANADA, Caslan, Alberta to be exact, which arrived today. To use Ryan's own words enclosed was '...a mix of new, semi-old and points in between. '

Excellent selection Ryan. As to your comment, 'Hope you can find some you need'. There were only about 5 that I already had. Thanks again for the cards.
Another of the boxes of cards that arrived recently. This time from a new trader Ryan from 'O' Not another Orioles Blog. 'O' it was brilliant (see what I did there) to find a home for the Orioles cards and a new state as well - Virginia. I don't think I have traded with anyone from Virginia before, but I could be wrong. A great assortment of cards from the wants list, including these very nice Carl Yastrzemski cards. 
It is time to get back to the old routine of school again. Luckily for me it has been a very quite month for baseball cards. I haven't arranged any trades and there has been little of note on e-bayUK, nothing oddball or old. Well nothing that I have had the fortune of winning. I had picked up some great cards recently, so my luck was soon to run out. Then out of the blue a package arrived from Ryan of Trader Crack's. Unexpected and completely awesome. ( I have realised that in normal life I do not use the word 'awesome' to describe anything. I must reserve it solely for these pages). Ryan included a number of 2004 Cracker Jack cards which I write about in the future and two very nice Relic cards. The first being 2009 Career Best Josh Beckett and the second a 2004 Cracker Jack Derek Lowe.
Its nice to come across a new blog dedicated to one particular team. There is not confusing who Ryan supports and collects, 'Anaheim Angels', although not many of their cards use this full moniker just the 'Angels' part. There must be some reason as most teams are referred to as both the place and name 'Boston Red Sox', 'Chicago White Sox' , 'Baltimore Orioles', etc. The angels of Anaheim are just Angels.
