Mail Time!!!!

Here's the mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail. When it comes I wanna wail, MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Yay, my first trade post! I can feel the excitement.

I know how a trade post can spiral out of control very quickly, so I'll keep mine short and down to only a few cards. For the most part, I'll showcase a few cards, give a tid-bit or two and call it good.

Today's edition comes thanks to garvey cey russell lopes.

I posted some trade bait a little while ago, and he jumped on some Dodger stuff. He hooked me up pretty good, so check out his page and drop him a line.

My favorite card from the bunch was a 2002 SPx Tyler Yates auto #825. I can't find any pics of one, but it's an extremely smooth design, on card and the way it's set it gives it a cut auto look to it. Awesome.

Next up is a 2002 Absolute Memorabilia auto of Timo Perez

Super shiny, and while it's a dreaded sticker, because of the design of both the card and the sticker, you can't even tell, it blends right in. One thing I've noticed Donruss/Playoff did with their auto cards, was instead of using a hologram label on the back like Topps and Upper Deck, they actually use a small "embossed" like stamp on the card. It's pretty cool.

Along side a Roberto Alomar bat card, was this little number


Woot! My 1st '62 Topps card. I've been wanting to put the set, (team set) together for a while now but it's a little pricey for what I can do right now. So it was pretty cool to actually have one and be able to check it out for reals.


So that's that. Hopefully I kept it somewhat interesting for everyone. He sent me a ton of base as well, which is great for my team sets. Thanks again dude!
