I completed a trade with Trey from Rants, Reviews and Fandom last week. I really wanted his Manny Banuelos Bowman Chrome auto, but my craptastic tradebait at the moment prevented me from making and offer. None the less, Trey needed a JD Martinez card I pulled and offered a Bowman Chrome Throwback of Manny Banuelos, so it was an easy trade.
Here is the card I was expecting. I'll be happy when Topps finally has some new Banuelos photos. This photo (or one close to it) has been used a bunch of times now. Either way, it's a cool card and a great addition to my growing Banuelos collection. I can't wait to see this dude in the Bronx this year.
Trey threw in three sweet cards. I was floored by this CC Sabathia card! It's from the Series One Wrapper Redemption program I believe. I had the Teixeira already, so adding CC is fantastic. These might just be the prettiest cards of the year. I wonder how hard it would be to pursue this set. What do you guys think?
Trey also included two minis - a Mattingly Kimball Champs and a Joba Gypsy Queen. I didn't have either one, so these were appreciated as well.
Trey - thanks for the trade!
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.
Glad you liked the cards, I just posted about our trade too. If I get anymore Banuelos or Yankees I'll be sure to let you know.
