Trade with Steve at White Sox Cards

As another year moves swiftly on, (where did January go?) and as Christmas becomes a distant memory, it was great to get back to trading baseball cards. I received a package of cards from my friend Steve at White Sox cards filled with all manner of Red Sox goodness. I have lost count of the trans-Atlantic White Sox/ Red Sox parcels but it was no surprise that this particular package didn't disappoint.
Steve managed to include some cards that never saw the light of day over here such as; Topps 206, ticket to stardom and the 2009 edition of Upper Deck X. Included also were some more cards from 2009 Goodwin Champions, which is the set I chose to complete 2009.
Thanks again Steve, much appreciated additions to the ever expanding Red Sox collection.

I imagine Steve is pretty pleased for his White Sox team and in particular Mark Buerle. It is amazing to think that it is only the 18th time that a perfect game has ever been pitched. Nice to belong to this special club.

On the back of the 1990 Classic cards there is a space for the player to autograph the card. I'm interested to know if anyone ever had their cards autographed in this space?

Trade with White Sox Cards Part Three

When I first accidentally stumbled across baseball card blogs, White Sox Cards was actually the first one that I read. It became my staple diet on baseball cards. From there it lead to others but I always found myself coming back to White Sox Cards for his interesting take on the cards, discussion of White Sox games and general baseball 'Stuff'.
I wasn't knowledgeable or brave enough to comment but read for many months before I finally thought I would like to contribute in some way. I searched his wants page and came up with about 10 cards he needed. Suffice to say I send them and he posted them on his blog. Since then I have a stack of white Sox cards building slowly and as they reach about 30 cards I send them. He has most but is always, always happy to receive them. He was generous enough to send some cards back too.
Here is the recent selection I sent to Steve~
