Tradewinds Epic The Final Chapter

Kinkier than a bumble bee in a butterfly net!

This is it, the final pack from the Wicked trade! This has been dubbed the "Archives Pack" by the committee in my head. We'll get to that later. First, the toploaders on either side...


This is my 1st Mets 1/1, a Nick Evans Black Printing Plate! I now have a 1/1 parallel and the Gold parallel #'d/2,009 but I yet have been able to obtain the base version of this card. The base version is the last card I need to finish off the team set for 2009 Topps. That's it, just the base card of a common, uncollected player.


This is one of the 3,000 parallels from the 2007 Masterpieces set. It's #'d/99 but I'll be damned if I have to try and figure out if this is black, or midnight black, or charcoal black or whatever the hell other random colors they dreamed up.


Now this is why we're calling this the Archives Pack. There were about 10 Archives cards in the team bag...


As well as a handful of All Time Fan Favorites.


Also hiding inside were a couple more relics including this Ed Kranepool


And a Gary Carter!

So that ends the Epic trade with The Cardfather. Thanks again Wicked, I might have something else for you soon!
