Vintage Mets Trade Bait

As to be expected I've amassed quite an overstock collection of Mets cards. I'm pushing 1,000 base doubles, a couple team sets and a handful of vintage lovin'.

Let me know if you're interested in any of these guy below. Thanks!

1972 Topps Tom Seaver #347, 1973 Topps Jerry Grote #113

1975 Topps Jon Matlock

1979 Topps Willie Montanez, Bob Apodaca

Lee Mazzilli, Dale Murray

Elliott Maddox, Tim Foli

Mike Bruhert, Bruce Boisclair

Mets Team Card, Mets Prospects

Now we get into the last two that aren't really vintage but they don't fit in with anything else so I might as well call them vintage...


1983 Topps Tom Seaver (x3)

1985 Topps Dwight Gooden RC

Let's get this trade train rolling!

1964 Topps Coins Ron Hunt AS

Quote of the day:
"And let's face it, if you make porn, you know who's a good lawyer."

This is the last coin in the set, #164, so it was nice to have half the bookend. I picked it up for pretty cheap, a couple bucks including shipping which I was surprised at given the condition.

The description said "Mint" and they were not lying. It's in such perfect condition in fact, that I originally thought it was fake, or a reprint or something. After examining it, smelling it, licking it and taking a few showers with it I feel confident to say that it's real. Which is good. Cuz I've never been able to just love 'em and leave 'em. My heart won't let me.

Awake and Alive

Holy hamster dance! It's been 2 weeks since I've done a post!

Rather than going into the boring cliche details, I'll just say I'm still here (sorry) and I've gotten a couple killer trades recently that I'll be sure to show off!

Tradewinds

Ever want to write up a post, but don't really have anything creative or interesting to say? Well, that's happening right now. So rather than trying to force it, I will list random dumb laws and pictures of baseball cards and call it a day. Deal? Deal.

First up is a 2007 Bowman Philip Humber Auto from Manupatches and Mustaches. All I need is the Orange parallel and I'll have the rainbow!

Alabama- Men who deflower virgins, regardless of age or marital status, may face up to five years in jail.

note to self, do not go to alabama

Next is a fucking bitchin' new Piazza card from Cheap Card Collecting. I'm pretty sure the only thing prettier than this card, are tits.

Connecticut- In order for a pickle to officially be considered a pickle, it must bounce.

Featured next is a generous offering from Emerald City Diamond Gems. I was randomed the Mariners in a group break and quickly flipped them around for a nice stack of Mets, including 3 Fleer update team sets from the '80's, including an '85 which finishes off that year for me!

New York- Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business.

never been happier to live in new york

Now we have a slathering of coolness from Plaschke, Thy Sweater is Argyle. This was on exchange for that super cool Braun auto I pulled!

California- Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.

Texas- Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos.

Mississippi- A man may not seduce a woman by lying, and claiming he will marry her.
