Tradewinds

A quick question: When do cards become considered "vintage"? Is it after a certain amount of time, like when a set is let's say, 25 or 30 years old. Or is there a stopping point such as anything 1979 or later is vintage and anything newer is not. I've always viewed it as the latter. That was just something I thought about today.

Anyways...

I am the absolute worst at posting all my trades. I seem to trade in bunches, so I'll get a few going at the same time, which results in them all showing up at relatively the same time. Shouldn't be a big deal right? I take a few pictures and then I have some minimum thought required material to post for a few days. EXCEPT for the fact that when I get everything, I'm so anxious to look through all the cards, set them up in their respective binders and mark them off the "Team Checklists" notebooks that I lose which cards were just traded to me, let alone who they came from. To all those I have shunned, I apologize greatly.

I did however, manage to take some pics before going all organize-y for this most recent swap. I saw a couple cards off Emerald City Diamond Gems' want list that I knew I could pick up and sent him an email. He sent back a great little package that included an '81 Donruss Team Set. I'll showcase of the cards starting with...

Dr. Mike Scott. Why "Dr."? That's another post for another time.

Joe Torre. I hope he's not the Mets manager next year. Let's face it, he's not a good national league manager. Take away all the years with the Yankees and you've got a .500 guy. I just hope they're not gonna bring him in just because he's the "big name" out there.

True story. Every time the name "Mookie Wilson" is said aloud, a Red Sox fan loses 7.3 years off their life. Now the question isn't could I make that up, it's would I...

Also included in the box was a Piazza and a Wright I didn't have as well as a 1991 Pacific Nolan Ryan set. Very cool. I wanna start doing more posts showcasing the team sets I have, since that's my true cornerstone, so I'll probably do a post for that one soon.

Thanks again to ECDG! Your cards should be in the mail tomorrow dude!
