Plenty of Leaf cards - just not Leaf players

There were some Leaf Rookie and Stars football cards the other day, and we get a handful more here. A decent set for someone who collects football - I can see the draw, but just not my thing. Does look better than some of the Update and such series baseball put out in the past.

Highlights:

One I don't have, and a decent Leaf as well - great to add to the collection.

Lowlights:

Seem to hit a few of these - hopefully not many more for a while...

The rest
Keepers:

Only a few keepers from the pile today - personal preference from the lot is Staal as player, and best picture.

Traders:

I didn't bother scanning all of the copies, but there were 4 each of the Ultra basketball cards - Odom and Hudson. I haven't followed it as closely as some, but Lamar's story has been quite the sad one with his more recent health and addiction issues the last few years. Also, Chris Bosh - enjoyed him as a Raptor and came into his own - hated his leaving for Miami and the bigger issue of Miami buying Championships. Not my thing, it's why I enjoy the Yankees failing when their payroll was light years beyond other teams.
