Tradewinds

Before I get too far behind on these we have another tradewinds special to sum up the last 2 weeks worth of trades. I've been spittin' out more cards this past month than a, a... well a ummm card, spitter...er.

Anyways, I can't think of anyone I've traded with more and more frequently than Cam from over at The Bullpen Cardboard. It seems JUST as I get my end of the trade in the mail, I come home to an email with another trade proposal! Damn, the internet's great.

This is only the 3rd Piazza card from 2008 in my collection. 507 cards and only 3 from one year. That's becoming a popular number lately...

Next up was in response to a post from The Sewing Machine Guy who had some thoughts after pulling this

I figured he would enjoy getting rid of it and turns out I was right. In addition, I got some other goodness too...

My first 2011 Heritage Mets

A Bedazzled Niese and the standard Wright 60 to go with the bat I pulled.

Next up was an easy 1 for 1 trade from Thoughts and Sox.

2010 Finest Jose Reyes refractor #/599! A few days after I got this card in the mail, Adam posted another lot of Refractors including 2 more Mets that I jumped on. That gives me 3 Refractors from this set while I only have 1 base card. Vedy intahesting.

Lastly, we have the most recent acquisition. One of the phenomenons of trading throughout the blog scene here is that often times you need to work with the enemy. Even if the enemy is something as barbaric as a *gulp* phillies fan.

I sent Dawgbones a healthy stack of 2011 Topps and in return he knocked off a 10 Most Wanted card that looks similar to this...

2002 Bowman Wright RC! Believe it or not, this is my first Wright RC, not including the 2001 Upper Deck XRC. Off the top of my head, I know there's also a Bowman Heritage and Topps Total with Wright RCs and I think that may be it. And then all the crazy parallels of course. And the Chrome auto. And Bowmans Best. Fuck, there's more to this than I thought.

Thanks to everyone as always! Now, it's puppy time.
