I love the title of the blog"It's Like Having My Own Card Shop" because when I was a kid, that's what I though about all my cards. I was collecting to have every card out there and that's what I thought card shops should do. Have any and every card available. As I've grown up, that view has obviously changed. I would still love to have every card out there but that's just not feasible. It's hard enough getting the ones that I need for my collections.
Daniel from the aforementioned blog, had posted a 1973 Topps want list and I sent him a few. I think it ended up being about 5 or 6 and I threw in some mascot cards of Southpaw that I had. I told him he didn't need to send anything back but that's not the kind of bloggers we are, are we?
I received a PWE from Daniel with some Sox cards needs.
I needed 6 of them as you can see above. A purple Alex Fernandez (44 cards) from classic as well as a couple of Bowman (Zack Erwin-2 cards & Tyler Danish-12 cards). I like receiving Bowman I don't have because I hate trying to find them with a couple sets that all share the same subsets. I hate Bowman. The Ron Karkovice (44 cards) is the Cyberstats parallel. I was surprised I didn't have the Dan Pasqua (33 cards), I have a bunch of the 1992 Pinnacle's but apparently not that one. Last but not least, Daniel sent this gold Update of Jose Abreu (131 cards), I like the action shot on that card.
Thanks for the cards Daniel.
Pasqua - one of the rare players to wear 44 and NOT totally suck.
