Here it is, the last trade I need to catch up on sharing from the busy end of the year rush of trades - though I know more are coming in shortly still. It is getting into busy season at work, so the trades will definitely diminish, though I do have a new card lot to get into shortly, and still have plenty of unopened materials to look at as well, so a good couple years worth of stuff for posting! One of these days, I will have little in the "bank" to post.
Today's trade is with a first time trade partner at TCDB, AndreMcandless who sent some baseball cards my way.
A couple 1988 Glossy send in set cards. a Roberto uncorrected error card, and the we get into the late 90s and 2000s with Jays. I know there have been mini cards over the years, and I am starting to get enough I am debating buying some binder pages more suited for them - but I don't need too many yet and it's cheaper to buy 100 at a time - but it's not something I lose sleep over.
I do like the Halladay Bowman card, may be somewhat typical photo, but the card and colours, just looks great - though best photo in this PWE is further down.
I mean, look at that celebration Vladdy card - it's just fantastic and shouts Stadium Club. I can even get over the vertical orientation and enjoy the shot - just amazing. Doesn't hurt that it was also the last base card I needed to complete the team set also.
Actually, doesn't hurt that the Bowman Platinum Vladdy also completed that team set...or actually the 2024 Topps Stars of The Game Bladdy came with his friend Bo below to finish THAT team set for me too!
I will say that the Holiday set designs to me are hit or miss as the "holiday" pattern can be too much at times, but the snow one here is solid - not too intrusive, but makes the point. Is it needed? Absolutely not, but at least it is less offensive.
Thank you for the great trade and I think I can FINALLY get onto starting through my next big lot purchase tomorrow - the BASEball Lot.
