Thanks to Todd for the great selection of cards. I really like the Masterpieces' cards. There wasn't a great deal of difference between 2007 and 2008, but I like the look and feel of them. A surprise Baseball Heroes David Ortiz jersey swatch numbered to 50. Brilliant Todd

Trade with Darkstar

For my very first post on APAD, I wrote about the 2007/2008 Topps Match Attax Football cards. Darkstar (aka Todd) commented that he would like to get a hold of some 'soccer' cards and we organised a trade. Todd also mentioned he supported the Kansas City Royals. A package of Royals, Match Attax and assorted other football packs were on their way.

Yesterday a package full of Red Sox cards arrived from Iowa, which in itself is pretty cool.
