It Came from the Mail #1:

My first ever real blog entry in nearly....A few years, I had a regular one over at TV.com, but that site dried up after the staff killed it, but that's a different story for a different day. Today is about what I got in the mail, it was trade from redlegs_baseball over at the Trading Card Database. A medium sized trade, here's what went down.

I gave up:

1977 Topps #100 Joe Morgan

1991 Studio #161 Tom Browning

1991 Studio #162 Eric Davis

1991 Studio #163 Rob Dibble

1991 Studio #164 Mariano Duncan

1991 Studio #165 Chris Hammond

1993 Studio #71 Nolan Ryan
1993 Studio #121 Sammy Sosa
1994 Donruss - Special Edition Gold #10 Tony Gwynn

1994 Donruss - Special Edition Gold #29 Dave Hollins

1994 Donruss - Special Edition Gold #45 Barry Larkin

Yes, I have a ton load of Studio cards to trade after buying a 3 box lot of '91, '92 and '93 off eBay for super cheap. I got the complete sets of '92 and '93. The '91 box was a complete debacle and have put me off of buying any older Leaf products again.

And I got back:

1985 Donruss Action All-Stars #28 Ozzie Smith
I had no idea how huge this card was when I asked for it in the trade, if I did I probably would have offered more.

1988 Donruss All-Stars - Pop-Ups #15 Ozzie Smith
I originally thought I had this card, but it was actually the '89 Pop-Up I had. You can only tell the difference in them through the slight differences in the background since both pictures were taken at Wrigley Field.

2011 Topps - 60 Years Of Topps #60YOT-32 Ozzie Smith 1983
I have the original of this card, I guess I wanted the reprint because of my OCD.

2012 Topps #1a Ryan Braun



The rest are all 2012 Topps base cards which I need to finish up the set, sans short prints. Yuck.

2012 Topps #8 Mike Adams

2012 Topps #13 Vernon Wells

2012 Topps #16 Desmond Jennings

2012 Topps #18 Colby Lewis

2012 Topps #20 Craig Kimbrel

2012 Topps #21 Chris Iannetta

2012 Topps #27 John Buck

2012 Topps #29 Livan Hernandez / Roy Oswalt / Randy Wolf

2012 Topps #35a Eric Hosmer
For those of you who actually read this, what do you think of the trade?
