Welcome to my blog!!!

I have collected baseball cards and autographs over the years. I still have boxes full of cards (as well as newer cards) that are just sitting there. So, I have decided to see how many of them I can get autographed. I use through the mail as my preferred route for this adventure. I also have an account on Zistle and The Trading Card Database for trading purposes (stevienicks77).

Another COMC purchase

I was looking at COMC to buy a Wil Myers Royals card that would look nice with my autographed ball to place in a display case.  However, instead of purchasing that, I bought a whole bunch of cards that I would not normally have the chance to trade for, yet still cost effective (i.e. cheap and unique cards).  This allowed me the opportunity to add some Topps Gold Label, Finest and Topps Tribue cards, among others, to my player collections that I would not normally have the opportunity to buy or trade for.

TCDB trade with bubbasbums

I'm really trying to get serious about completing my mega collections and unfinished complete sets.  I sought out bubbasbums because he had a Lane Adams card I needed for my Royals mega collection.  As I got to looking, there were several other cards I needed for mega sets.  Excellent trade!

TCDB trade with dsorek

I completed an awesome trade with trade partner dsorek.  He was able to help me out with quite a few set needs, especially old set needs.
