Met’s Trade with The Sandlot

We completed a trade last month with the The Sandlot. We sent Mets, he sent Cardinals. Here's some of the loot!

2006 Flair Showcase Albert Pujols Emerald 91 / 150
2007 Topps Chrome Jim Edmonds Refractor 24 / 660
2009 Topps Gold Border Kyle Lohse 1349 / 2009


2007 UD Elements Skip Schumaker Auto
2007 Turkey Red Brad Thompson Jersey

Trade with Baseball Dad

I just finished my second trade with Baseball Dad: Indians for Cardinals. The trade was for one of my Josh Tomlin autographs for a 2007 Sweet Spot Scott Rolen jersey card. I wish Rolen and LaRussa could have found a way to work together… it sure would be nice to still have him at third.

Jack also sent a 2010 Bowman Chrome Green Xfractor of Tommy Phan. I’m saving this one to get autographed at Winter Warm Up if Phan is invited to sign.

 

He also sent a bunch of cool base cards that I’ve never seen before. I really like this 2004 Fleer Dan Haren card. It says “Gold Medalion” on the back and has the die cut curved corner. If anyone has the Yadier Molina version of this card (that’s one of his rookie cards) I have plenty to trade.

 

And finally Jack sent these cool Cardinal Hall of Famer cards from 2005 SP Legendary Cuts and 1983 Donruss Hall Of Fame Heroes. These are awesome!

Thanks Jack!!!

Trade with Thorzul

We finished up a trade with Thorzul that started with this card: http://thorzul.blogspot.com/2011/05/100-best-finds-in-30-dollar-lot-12.html


and turned into a larger trade that included these -
2008 – UD Heroes Mark Mulder 253 of 499
2005 – UD All Stars Albert Pujols 250 of 499
2010 – Triple Threads Bob Gibson 986 of 1350


2009 – UD Piece of History Rick Ankiel / Josh Hamilton 73 of 99
2005 – Donruss 04 World Series Red Schoendienst 228 of 500
2004 – Donruss World Series Records Bob Gibson 205 of 1000


And then a cool Bob Gibson jersey card from 2007 SP Legendary Cuts:


Thanks!!!

Thorzul May Group Break Results & June Reminder

Hi guys. Just a reminder that Thorzul still has a few spots open in his June Group Break. We've been doing his breaks for awhile now including last month. Here's some of our loot from his May group breaks.

First - Cards from the Cheapo Group Break. We had the Cardinals and Yankees. The Yankees are up for trade. A Luddwick Finest Refractor, two Ankiel's, and nice looking Matt Morris insert.

Two numbered Giambi’s

And now the May Group Break. We had the Cardinals and Twins.

2005 National Pastime Pujols numbered 1 /2001 and base card.

And a Kent Hrbek Sweet Spot Jersey card that’s headed to David over at http://mmmrhubarb.wordpress.com/

Trade with Sewing Machine Guy

Sewing Machine Guy posted about a Nick Markakis Gypsy Queen autograph and my dad asked if it was up for trade. It was. We sent a Rick Porcello auto I got a couple of years ago for the Markakis. He also sent some cool Cardinals too. Thanks!

Two Cardinals Mini’s


A Matt Holliday Turkey Red


A 1982 Pete Rose


And here’s the Nick Markakis autograph


My dad brought home a pack of Masterpieces on his trip. I got this cool Justin Verlander numbered 34 of 75 right after his no hitter!


Dad – Looks like this card, or at least the scoreboard, is from Verlander’s 2007 no hitter against the Brewers. Chalk it up to SMG kharma.

Trade With Carl Crawford Cards

I offered a Juan Marichal Topps scratch off card for trade awhile back and worked out a trade for a 1968 Topps game card of Prime Time’s favorite baseball announcer.

CCC also threw in a bunch of cards for Isaac. Here are a few of Ike’s favorites.



Oh yeah. Ike got bipped… “Dad why did he send all of these Ozzie’s? Why did he write on the Carl Crawford Card? I’m not allowed to write on cards…”

Topps Million Traded: 2004 Mike Matheny

Wow. I posted our first trade offer and BOOM, an hour later someone accepted. Its nice to have Matheny back in the Cardinals fold as a special instructor... hopefully his role will expand as his kids get older and we'll see more of him at Busch in the future.
