Zistle trade with hpennington22

I've done quite a few trades with hpennington22.  This was a big one!

Hawkeye football.  This year's team is bowl eligible with 6 wins.  Hopefully we can get two more W's against Michigan and Nebraska.  LGH!!

 

Royals collection:

Royals player collection.  A lot of goodies here!

Player collections:

I love the Heritage Walker in his catcher gear.  I also really wanted that Cut To The Chase Machado.  Finally, a CTC card of a player I collect!

Some old dudes:

Cubs collection:

Zistle trade with jkgrice

I hadn't done a trade with jkgrice in a while, but he had some 2011 Heritage cards that I needed.  He helped inch me a little closer to getting it completed!

Cub player collection!  The Mark Grace card is a Topps HD card.  I have never seen one before.

Royals collection:

Gordo player collection:

Some of the Heritage I got.  Almost done with the regular set, now just need to work on the SPs.

Cubs player collection.  That Micah Bowie card is cool!

Other player collections:

Alex Meyer

Another one in from the Arizona Fall League.  I've never tried to get Bowman Platinum cards autographed before, but it looks like they came out pretty good...no smudges!

Joe Wendle

My first return from the Arizona Fall League.  I was surprised to get this one back!  I had done some research, and couldn't find any thing on whether Mr. Wendle signs or not, but this is a great success, and on one of the 2013 Heritage Minors cards I had.  He's in the Indians minor league system.

I just got this one in a trade, but I'll take another since he's a Creighton alumni:

Does this happen to anyone else?

I have a gift certificate to my local LCS, and I've been waiting for 2013 Topps Update to come out to use it.  However, I saw some hanger boxes the other day, and I decided to buy two of them.  Now, when I pick out boxes, packs, etc., I am superstitious (if that's what you want to call it), and I don't like to pick two that are next to each other.  Bad decision.  There are 72 cards in each box, so I purchased a total of 144 cards.  33 of the cards were duplicates!  Plus, three cards were damaged.  Ugh!  Topps, way to ruin my new product high!  Should I be mad?  Because I am!

Damaged cards:  Left corner on the Puig(!) emerald.  I love the emerald cards.  Right corner on the other two.  The scan doesn't do it justice, but no one should be getting damaged cards out of the pack!  The Puig corner is minimal compared to the other two.

Here are the 33 (!) duplicates.  All are for trade on Zistle or through here, excpet the Cubs, Royals, and the Jaso card (catcher collection).
