Apparently, a few weeks ago, Oscar from "All Trade Bait, All The Time" posted that he was sending out some Christmas packages to people he has traded with in the past. I read the post but didn't look to see if my zip code was listed because I haven't traded with any bloggers in a few years. After I received the cards, I went back and looked and sure enough, my old zip code was listed. He also asked for updated addresses but because I didn't think he was sending anything my way, I didn't bother to update him. Lucky for me, it's been just under a year since we moved so my change of address was still at the post office and eventually, it made it to me. Sorry about that Oscar, but a big thank you for thinking about me after all these years, I do appreciate it. Let's check out what he sent me. I'll start with cards for the White Sox Collection.

That's a nice grouping of White Sox players. None of them were just average players. The 1965 Pete Ward card I got was much more loved then the photo though, not that I mind, It'll still go as part of the collection. The Tim Raines action shots are pretty cool as well.
Oscar even hit a couple of my player collections with the following cards.
 |
| 1992 Fleer |
 |
| 1994 Topps Stadium Club |
 |
| 1995 Topps Stadium Club |
These 3 all go to the
Cal Ripken Jr Collection which has been moving right along and is now at 260 cards.
 |
| 1987 Donruss Opening Day |
He added a card to the
Carlton Fisk Collection as well. This is my 142nd card of him. It's always better to see him in a White Sox jersey.
 |
| 2001 Fleer Futures |
He also added this cool looking card for the
Mark Buehrle Collection. This is a pretty slick looking card, the base cards are decent enough but the Bright Future ones are so much better. This is my 181st card of Mark Buehrle.
 |
| 2012 Topps Golden Greats |
I thought I had this one when I pulled it out, but apparently he has 3 cards in that insert set. This being the 3rd one I needed. My
Tom Seaver Collection is now at 335 cards.
 |
| 2001 Fleer Futures |
This is the 3rd card from this set featured today and it's from my biggest (and probably most favorite) collection. This card gives the
Paul Konerko Collection 403 cards.
A huge thanks to Oscar, be sure to check him out at "
All Trade Bait, All The Time". Have a Merry Christmas Oscar and thanks for the generosity.
The ROck Cover Story card is such a great photo. But it would be even better if they zoomed out about 10%.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I kind of miss Fleer. Those Ripkens are great!
