What may be the last trade share for a few days at least, TCDB member DJ-TR was able to send a bunch of Leafs my was including what seem to be coming across in decent numbers of late - stickers!
The stickers scan most of the 80s, though I don't have any completed sets yet, it's a bunch of help to a bunch of years. Honestly, I don't remember the sticker books at all, and couldn't recall what any of the covers looked like (versus baseball where some are clear as day like 1988 Don Mattingly).
Believe it or not, the team Topps 1990-91 card was the last variation need I had for the master base set (if that is such a thing( bue to variations on the copyright line. Very cool.
The 1992-93 Panini foil Potvin was the last Leaf I needed for that team set, and the Gilmour is a one of one Leaf insert so that's a quick done, but not the only one in this trade.
The Ultra checklist, another Leaf team set finisher, while the Bowman's Best is a single Leaf insert. Early to mid-90s Leafs still my favourite times as a Leaf fan, but current team is right there as number two now.
The Retro Berard and Championship Fever are another couple one and done Leaf team sets for me - more in this trade than I had thought there would be for "completing" things, but that's all good!
We even get to end with a Heads Up Cujo being the fourth of the four Leaf cards to finishing off another team set. An amazing 10 team sets finished off in the single trade, and all the extra sticker help too - fantastic. Trades like this are why, even with the cost of shipping to do trades, there is enough benefit for the cost not to deter - helping others complete sets and grow collections, while doing the same, and all for the cost of a pack of cards (if you are lucky).
