JBF Bombs Away - Part 3



Last but not least, part three of JBF’s package bombs. I claimed the following two cards in a recent post:
But of course he didn’t leave it there. Nope. He had to throw in some sweet cards he picked up on his trip to Mobile. We’ll start with the two autos. Yep, two. First off, Bubba Crosby! Remember when Cashman said that Bubba was going to be the starting CFer? Then signed Johnny Damon out of nowhere. I did not own a Bubba auto, so this is a sweet addition.
Next up, a Steve Howe auto. Seriously?! Freakin’ sweet. The Leaf Signature Series card s signed perfectly on-card. Most of us know about Steve’s rough life and the fact that he passed away at a young age. He was a very talented reliever, and unfortunately fought with substance abuse for the majority of his career.

Well also included a team bag of Yanks, and here are a few favorites. I love any of the mid-90’s Denny’s cards, so this Boggs is money. It actually shows a short clip of his swing instead of just a 3D image.
No words necessary for this guy.
And finally, a random yanks prospect who never made it, and a guy who just participated in the NFL combine.
Wes, thanks again for everything.

Trade Review: MadGlavSmoltz

I've been meaning to post about this trade. I reached out to Chris at Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz about a 2011 Topps card he needed. Turns out he had the card, but we still worked out a trade. I sent him a handful of cards off his Braves want lists of Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz (appropriately), as well as a few Chipper Jones inserts I had.

Chris sent me a truly awesome package of cards. It was a blast to open! Chris did a fun packaging job too...cards just kept falling out. I'd take two out of a top loader, and a mini would fall out from between the top two cards. It was great.

My favorite cards from the trade were probably the Cano 2010 Topps Chrome Refractor, an ARod SPX die-cut, Oscar Gamble 1980 Topps (because who doesn't love an Oscar Gamble card?), and a 1981 Donruss Yogi Berra Coach card. There were still plenty of other sweet cards, including some more Topps Moments and Milestones - Jeter and ARod. The Jetes was numbered to 29, by far my lowest #'d card of him. To cap off the trade, there were two 1980 Topps 5x7s - Reggie Jackson and Graig Nettles.

Here are a few of the cards:
Great stuff, thanks Chris!
