I finally have a small break from school to do a little TTM letters and a few trades via Zistle.  jlynch83 was patient enough to wait for me to finish my summer classes to do this trade.

Iowa Hawkeye football and basketball Alumni:

Another Royal for my collection:

And finally, a few for my David Wright player collection:

Updates

I also had time to update my Sets I'm Trying To Complete page today!!!

Vince Horsman

I FINALLY had the opportunity to catch up on my Zistle trade opportunities and sending out some TTMs!  I got this one back at the end of last week from Vince Horsman.  I have updated my TTM stats and my 2014 goals.  I'm 60% to my 50 TTMs this year.  I might make it yet!!

Luis Salazar

Luis Salazar was a huge addition at the  trade deadline in 1989 for the Chicago Cubs.  I remember watching on TV one of his first games in a Cubs uni, and he hit a double down the right field line to bring in the winning run.  Harry Carey was going crazy!  The Boys of Zimmer is a year I'll never forget as a Cubs fan!

Zistle trade with mfratella

Another new trade partner via Zistle.  This was a big trade.  Lots of 2014 Bowman to help me make a pretty good dent in that collection.  Still have a ways to go, but now I'm closer!

Former Cubbie:

Royals!

Zistle trade with AUTaxMan

I am finally done with grad school, so now I'm trying to catch up on the few trades I've been able to do!  I was reevaluating my 2014 goals today, and it doesn't look good for achieving them.  Oh well.  Anyway, here some of the goodies I got from AUTaxMan:

Cubs autograph!

Player collections:

Cubs and Royals!

Bud Black again!

I sent another TTM to Bud Black, this time though, I wanted to get his manager card autographed.  I already have a player card autographed.  I might have to send him mail again next year, and try to get a Royals card autographed!
