Trade with Mr Ross from Boxbusters

It is usually me that sends surprised packages, so be on the receiving end of a surprise was great. Mr Ross at the blog Boxbusters sent this 'surprise' and it included cards from two sets that I tried unsuccessfully to get a hold of : 2008 Timelines and 2007 SP.

2007 SP Rookie Edition #56 David Ortiz
2007 SP Rookie Edition #58 Manny Ramirez
2007 SP Rookie Edition #59 Jonathan Papelbon
2007 SP Rookie Edition #129 Hideki Okijima
2007 SP Rookie Edition #265 Daisuke Matsuzaka
2008 UD Timelines #15 Jason Bay
2008 UD Timelines #72 Jonathan Van Every
2008 UD Timelines #120 Jonathan Van Every
2008 UD Timelines #136 David Ortiz
2008 UD Timelines #227 Jed Lowrie

Thank you Mr Ross. As always it is great to trade.

Trade with Mr Ross from Boxbusters

A good friend of this blog since its humble beginnings is Mr Ross from Boxbusters. Advice, a friendly chat and card trades, there isn't much more you need from a trading buddy. He collects Cardinals and like similar collectors such as Steve at White Sox Cards and Greg at Night Owl Cards, he possibly has most of the Cards cards I send. But in the spirit of trading he always sends something back.
Here is the helping from Mr Ross in East Alton Illinois:

1991 Donruss #684 Roger Clemens
2008 Donruss Threads #58 Luis Exposito
2008 Donruss Threads #62 Jon Still
2008 SP Authentic # AP22 J.D.Drew
2008 SP Authentic #AP32 Julio Lugo
2008 Topps #YR151 Clay Buchholz
2008 Topps U+H #46 Kevin Youkilis
2008 Topps U+H #68 Jonathan Papelbon
2008 Topps U+H #107 Jason Varitek
2008 Topps U+H #190 Manny Ramirez
2008 Upper Deck #436 Julio Lugo
2008 Upper Deck X #X-JB Josh Beckett
2008 Upper Deck X #X2-BE Josh Beckett
2008 Upper Deck X #X3-JB Josh Beckett

I read on many blogs that the UD X was a pointless set of cards and if I remember correctly was voted the worst (or runner up worst)set of 2008. The scan doesn't really do these cards any justice. They are shiny, super shiny and I am like a Bower Bird in mating season and drawn to all things shiny. I like them, worst set 2008 or not.
Thanks again Mr Ross for the great cards.
