2009 A Piece of History Trade Bait

As advertised, here is what I have for trade from my box!

spoiler alert: brewers fans might just wanna scroll to the bottom

First let me do some pimping for My Cardboard Mistress, since his ripping spree of these boxes got me wanting some of my own. While I didn't blow his breaks out of the water, I definitely did very well for myself. Onwards!!!

Each box has 16 packs and 7 cards per pack and I picked my box up for $50 at my LCS. The thing that impressed me the most overall, is that I didn't get any doubles out of my box. This year it seems common to be pulling doubles out of the same pack, let alone a box. Anyways, the good stuff...

What I'm keeping:

These are what the base card look like, in case anyone didn't know. If anyone needs any to finish off their set or just want a certain team, let me know. It's alllll for trade.

These are the "Historical Moments" subset and they actually didn't piss me off as much as I thought pulling them from the packs. Most deal with wars and signings of treaties and whatnot but my favorites are the astronomy based ones! I've been toying with this idea for a little bit now, but I'm gonna make it official. I am starting a theme collection of cards that depict anything to do with Astronomy! There's not alot, but I know they're out there.

Everything from here on out is for trade...

Stadium Scenes:

TRADED Tim Lincecum "Green?" #/99 (Giants) TRADED
Rickie Weeks #/999

Relics/Autos:
Ben Stiller "A Piece of Hollywood" (Along Came Polly) costume

Scott Kazmir "Timeless Moments" jersey (Rays)

TRADED Ryan Braun "Box Score Memories" #/25 jersey/auto!!!! (Brewers) TRADED

That Braun came in the last pack of the box! I did get shorted a Relic (gee, wonder who's mutant boxes that fell into?) but between the Braun, Carpenter and Lincecum can I really complain?

Nope.

I'm looking for the typical stuff: Mets, Piazzas and Wrights. For those who have traded with me before, you know I'm pretty easy to strike a deal with, but be forewarned, I'll be holding a little higher ransom for the Braun and Carpenter. I obviously would prefer to trade, but if someone realllllyyyy wants the Braun but doesn't have the card goods to exchange, I would consider selling it.

Offer away!
