A Great Felli That PIANELLI

 A fantastic baseball card trade with TCDB member PIANELLI today as we got some "base" cards which are serial numbered, and all somewhat similar.

I get what they are going for here - 2008 Topps Moments & Milestones was a unique set which tried to put a card out, serial numbered, for each item related to the record discussed, for example, 30 home runs, 30 cards, one for each home run.

Where this took a great idea and fell flat was, each card is exactly the same, so it's just an aesthetic thing, rather than having a card that truly shows and represents each step of the way. I think it's a unique idea, but it just didn't execute as well as it could have. Kudos for the attempt by Topps, just didn't get quite to the goalline. 

We get some 2008 Upper Deck Documentary series cards as well, to which I can say, at least the photo appears to be from the game (I haven't reflected enough to confirm), but in some cases, the photo has nothing to do with the write up - for example, showing Frank Thomas, but discussing the team pitching. Not as bad a set as the Topps Milestone shortcoming, and there are 163 cards for the base Toronto set, so plenty more needed to be able to really reflect how the set is overall.

A nice rainbow foil Cecil, a one and done 2017 Topps Opening Day Incredible Eats Toronto card, and a couple 2018 Bowman Prospects in Camo to round out the great little trade.
