I'm always down for some new trading partners, so of course I agreed. Chris' package arrived late last week, and he sent some great stuff.
First and foremost, huge props to him for sending a Tino card I didn't have. That's not easy to do! The card itself was a striking 1997 Leaf Limited Exposure with Bernie Williams. I had the base card, but not this refractor-type version.
There definitely were a few more shiny, eye-catching cards.
Also, consider me educated here. I had no idea Melky Cabrera earned a Rookie Cup with the Yankees.
Every time I get one of these cards, it's hard for me not to comment on how good-looking I think they are. They look incredible signed as well.Here are a couple more that caught my eye as well.
Chris, excellent batch of cards. I've got a few team bags of Cubs with your name on them. Thanks again!
Man oh man... that 1997 Donruss Limited Exposure of Williams and Martinez is sweet! I remember picking up a few of these parallels back in the day. They were crazy expensive. I just looked at the 1998 March Beckett (thanks to Too Many Verlanders) and that card once booked for $50. I know we all take book value with a grain of salt, but kinda cool, right?
