Adam of Thoughts and Sox and I ignored the unwritten rule of trading within your division as we did a small Red Sox for Yanks swap. Granted, this was in baseball cards and not actual players. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the last actual Boston-NY trade was the Mike Stanley deal in 1997. Anyways, Adam claimed the 2011 Topps Opening Day Red Sox cards that I posted, and I threw in a few others. In turn, he sent me a few Yanks.
I really like the 2004 Donruss Classics cards he sent me. The Mariano Rivera is awesome...it would look great signed. He also sent a few shiny cards - some 2004 Donruss Elite Extra Editions and a 2005 Zenith Carl Pavano. Despite it being Pavano, it's a really nice looking card.
Thanks, Adam! I'll keep you in mind as I get more Red Sox cards in the future, as I'll want them out of my house immediately.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
That Pavano is some kind of parallel. Zenith's version of Pinnacles Museum Collection.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them. I had to scrape to come up with them after sending another Yankee package out not so long ago.
