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!
Awesome Del Crandell card.
ReplyDeleteI have the Piazza Hamburger Helper card. Didn't know it came with an advertising thingy.
ReplyDeletenow that you do know, are you going to track one down because Piazza is on that too :)
DeleteMaybe? More likely I'll forget it exists.
DeleteNice trim job on the Hamburger Helper cards. They do look better. Does that make them lower calorie? I have never done a personal trade meet up. Have a great one all!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would lower the calories, but I bet it would lower the protein and fiber too :)
DeleteGreat trade! The Hamburger Helper cards are cool, the trimmed look is definitely better. I love trading with friends in-person.

ReplyDeleteNice pickups!
ReplyDeleteThis guy must have a great collection if those are extras to trade.
ReplyDeleteHe actually only collects basically two things: HOF rookies, and HOF certified autos (he has almost 300 of the autos). The rest are just things he comes across and he distributes them pretty much for free.
DeleteOne of my favorite things about my parent's place in Vegas was cruising around in their golf cart. It was so cool that they could just hop in it and take a ride to the golf course, grocery store, a handful of fast food places, and the post office. Don't miss the heat... but I miss the rides.
ReplyDeleteNice pickups! I got the 2 cards you sent from your giveaways, thank you!
