Building a vacation horde...wanna trade???

Got a good start to building my vacation cardboard stash with some trades last week. I will be collecting all packages and ripping when I go on my next vacation. Anyone else want to trade? In return, I'm looking for autographs(any sport, any player-weirder or wackier the better), mascot cards, Josh Willingham, Josh Donaldson, Braves, Arizona Cardinals, and even Dallas Mavericks. Don't even worry about telling what you'll send in return. This time feel free to claim up to 3 cards for trade and shoot me an email at lifebythedrop79 at yahoo dot com

Who will succeed the Willinghammer???

I've been pondering for a while who may take the Willinghammer as my PC chase now that Josh has retired. It has become obvious.

Reason 1-He's a masher!

Reason 2-He started at catcher which I did-Dale Murphy, Josh Willingham, Josh Donaldson

Reason 3-There's a vague personal connection. He is homeboys with the fellas at BIG Hit Sportscards in Spanish Fort. I consider them the tops and wish I was closer to their shop.

Therefore---it's time to chase another State of Alabama BiProduct---The Bringer of Rain

Unexpected generosity from John

I have been the recipient of very specialized and helpful generosity courtesy of John from Johnny's Trading Spot. I believe he may have every Brave ever made! He has hung with me this year as I have worked on my Braves Anthology Set. I have been horribly slow at getting information to him and his patience is much appreciated. I was lucky enough to receive a completely random package from John this past week!

Love these oversize Donruss Beauties especially the Expos Oliver

Truly there were huge stacks of randomness

This mailing was more about John getting in on the autograph project! YAY

Tim James has quite a story if you've never heard it: http://www.nba.com/heat/news/tim_james_journey_from_nba_to_iraq.html

Mr. Stone is currently at Michigan apparantly

I think by now we all know my weakness for the Willinghammer

A very unique card! I got to learn about Michael Cobb-Former Birmingham Stallion!

This one was great to get. The subject of probably my favorite all time 30 for 30!

Thank you John for such a nice package!

A few cards remain from my trade post a few days ago. I will get everyone that has claimed in the mail this weekend!

A Chance to Trade

Breaking out some bait because I feel like trading this week. The Rules?? Just pick what you like and leave a comment. Limit two cards per person. Feel free to nab just one if that's all you see. What to send in return?? Just surprise me.
