Stanton cards are trickling in

Scott Crawford of I Need New Hobbies is the first blogger to send me some Giancarlo Stanton cards. I've had a few cards set aside for Scott forever, so we made a simple little PWE flip.

Scott and I go way back to the beginning of this blog, so it's always good to trade cards with an old friend.

I wouldn't say I'm actively chasing down Stanton Marlins cards, but I won't say no either if you've got a few laying around.

I especially like the older "Mike" Stanton cards. On the back of the Opening Day card, it says he has 40-homer potential. Uh, ya think?

Thanks, Scott!

Pro Debut from Scott Crawford

Scott Crawford and I worked on this trade for quite a while. It was my fault, really. I just didn't have my act together. Even when Scott sent me the card, it took me about three more weeks to return the package. That's not how it should go.

Regardless, I ended up with a batch of 2013 Topps Pro Debut cards I needed. I still think the product name is stupid and inaccurate.

Two HOFers from Scott Crawford

I feel like Scott Crawford and I are fairly regular trading partners - maybe three or four a year. Scott lives just down the road in NJ, and he's a pretty diverse collector and always interested in a wide variety of cards. A few weeks ago, I posted about two 1971 Milk Duds cards that I won on Listia. Scott wanted to make a trade for one of them and offered up these awesome additions to my son's HOF binder. I won't lie...I had no idea Cepeda played in Boston. As I work ont his little project, I'm finding out that everyone played for Boston in the 1970's.

Trade with Scott Crawford: more HOFers

I recently posted a few vintage cards for trade, and Scott Crawford claimed one. After a quick back and forth, we settled on a trade. I decided to trade for vintage for vintage, and received two Hall of Famers for the HOF Binder I am starting for my kid.

Here are my two scores from the deal. Scott, thanks for a hastle-free trade.

Trade with Scott Crawford

I am finally getting around to posting a few cards from a trade with Scott Crawford. Scott is working on the 1968 Topps Game set, one of the coolest insert sets ever. I completed the set last summer, and had a decent amount of dupes from buying a few lots. Scott and I went back and forth for a few weeks, and he decided to send me a bunch of Yanks from the '70s and some current ones too.

There were about 70 cards are so, so this is just a sampling of what Scott sent. First, some 1976 Topps Burger King cards. Very cool, I didn't have any of these.

A goofy shot of some random '70s goodness.

Some unpopped Donruss standup cards!

The 2011 Heitage Minors Yankees team set, including these two beastly men.

A sweet 2009 Finest of CC - batting. Badass card. I don't have any from this set.

And two cards of the newest Yankee. Future ace Michael Pineda.

Good stuff, Scott. Thanks for the trade!
