INCOMING: A local in person "trade".

quick update: 1 week in and now 1707 Braves cards. 


I'm going to get the remaining incoming cards done this week. Starting now with a trade buddy locally. Mike Block lives in The villages and I have known him for 15 years. My brother and I met up with Mike and had lunch near his home. Afterwards, we followed him (2 blocks) to his house. He was on his golf cart which is 100% absolutely normal for The Villages.



I can count on running into to Mike at the quarterly card shows in The Villages, and I did that last month and we planned our little get together. Mike is always giving you cards. This time he had a need....1 pocket pages and I had a box and took them to him. He tried to buy them, I said no.  While we were at his house he gave my brother a handful of cards and gave me a stack too. That Combo Piazza/Gibson is perfect timing as I just yesterday updated the Josh Gibson PC and needed it. Hopefully I already have one in the Piazza. I didn't need the 55' Bowman Braves, not even for the set builds so I gave them to my brother. I trimmed the top two (I didn't know this 8 card set existed). They are normal sized cards. here is the back below.




The trimmed version is so much better.






 Like the 55's I didn't need the Crandell in the sets or Braves so Jack got that one too.

The 1985 Eddie Mathews and Joe Adcock postcard was a need for me.

There you have one in person trade meet up done.

Have a great day!
