Zistle trade with Rsgreen55

I've been so busy, I haven't had time to update my blog as much as I would like.  I actually completed this Zistle trade awhile ago, but I just haven't had the chance to get the cards scanned to show off.  Rsgreen55 is a another trade partner who has helped me out before.

Some Cards for my team collections:

Cubbies!

A few Royals for my PC's:

TTM trade!!!

I was contacted about making a TTM trade via a fellow blogger, Spiff.  His blog is over at Texas Rangers Cards.  He contacted me about some Cubs autographs he had, and I offered up some of my Rangers.  I was excited about this because I had tried twice to get Mike Harkey, but have had no response.  Here's the goods:

He was also kind enough to send some Cubbies my way:

I was really excited about this card when I opened up the package.  I have never seen this card before, so it's a awesome addition to my Mark Grace PC.

Thanks Spiff!!

John Jaso

Quick return this week from John Jaso.  He's currently with the free falling A's.  I would really like to see Oakland return to the playoffs, but it seems the trade deadline and wavier moves they made are not going to be enough.

Just Commons purchase

I was able to visit my LCS this spring and get pretty close to finishing up 2010 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects.  I want to make some headway now on 2010 Topps Pro Debut.  My LCS didn't have any boxes of Pro Debut to look through, so I have decided to buy a few of my needs off the Internet.  This was my first purchase from Just Commons.  I am pretty satisfied, with just one card looking a little less than perfect, but it's not bad.  Here are a few of the notable cards I got:

Jason Hursh

I finally had the time the last couple of weeks to get caught up on some trades and mailing out a few more TTMs before the end of the season.  I got this one back pretty quickly from Jason Hursh.  He was drafted in the 1st round last year by the Braves.  He has spent all year with Mississippi, posting a 11-7 record, 3.58 ERA, and 83 strike outs.

Oldies but goodies

I recently completed a Zistle trade with sorphan10.  It was a small trade filled with old school cards on my side of the deal.

Everyone wanted THIS card back in the day.  It only took me 28 years to get it!

Next up, some old George Brett.  The Studio card is in a penny sleeve with a price written on it; that is not damage to the card!  Bad scan on my part.
