Recently Bob from The Best Bubble reached out about a small trade. I hadn't traded with him yet, so it was an easy yes, especially because he promised some Tinos! Bob is a newer blogger and collects a bunch of fun genres, so go on over and check out his blog HERE.
The best card to me - at least in terms of that I needed - was this Tino Martinez from 2020 Pacific Paramount. I definitely didn't have the green foil parallel of this card, and was surprised to see it included in the package. Really nice card to check off the list.
And I told you there were more Tinos.
Bob also collects die cuts, so I hope it wasn't too hard to give away this card. It's so pretty!
As is this Luis Severino All-Star jersey card. The 2017 jerseys - from Miami - were such a bright blue!
One of my other favorites were these two cards from Stadium Club - Power Zones of Gleyber and Andujar. I've always enjoyed the Power Zone insert set!
Bob, thanks for reach out, and I promise to get you some cards in return very soon!
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.
Very nice assortment of cards.
ReplyDeleteThat Miller is SWEET!
ReplyDeletePacific! There just isn't enough Pacific on the blogs.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Although I wasn't a big fan of Pacific cards back in the 90's... I do enjoy seeing people write about them. And it seems like when they do, there's always a parallel or insert involved that I've never seen before. I have a bunch of Pacific parallels from the 90's (mostly hockey), but don't think any of them are green. Very cool card TLC.
