A week ago, Jeff from My Sports and Sports Cards reached out about a possible trade. He explained that he is new to online trading, so we set up a small deal. He collects White Sox, Colts, and Michigan Wolverine cards. I sent him a stack of White Sox cards, and he sent me a stack of Yanks. Quick and easy!
Well, Jeff went above and beyond for our first trade. While I sent about 25-30 White Sox I had laying around, Jeff sent me a GREAT lot of Yanks totaling about 50 cards. Totally lopsided. The first two cards were especially awesome - a Robinson Cano Bowman Platinum /999 and a Javy Vazquez 2010 Topps Chome GOLD Refractor #'d to 50! Wow wow wow! Now, both of Javy's stints in NY didn't work out at all, but this card is truly awesome looking. And the Cano? I love getting a numbered refractor of the best second basemen in baseball (sorry, it's true).
Here are some pictures of the other cards. Love getting a Cito Culver Bowman Chrome, and a great assortment of Mantles (I had none of these!) and Bowman Platinums. I wonder how many Mantles I have? Probably close to 100 - all reprints of course. Still, I should figure it out one of these days just for fun. The Zach McAllister card is cool too. Unfortunately, he is no longer a Yankee, as he was used to acquire Austin Kearns for the summer last year.
Jeff, I'll gladly trade with you again! Thanks for a great selection of cards. Go check out Jeff's blog and trade with him1

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.
