Trade with The Collective Mind Blog Part 2 - Baseball Cards

Today I'll look at the baseball cards I received in the trade with Greg over at The Collective Mind blog.  Again I really think I got the better end of the deal.  I received a ton of great Braves and Red Sox cards and many were Gypsy Queen and Allen & Ginter which is not something I really have a lot of.  I like both sets but unless I see singles at shows the best I can do is a pack of each when they come out so the volume of these cards spanning different years/sets was awesome.

And oh the memories.  These are too cool.  

Rice and Yaz are both top 3 all-time players for me and it is great seeing some of the legends from the early years of baseball on cards like Tris Speaker here.

These Pacific cards were always cards I liked for some reason.  They look even better with Braves and Red Sox greats on them.

I'd never seen this set so it was fun to see these cards.  I definitely want to look for more singles from the set.

I also received plenty of personal collection guys in addition to Braves and Red Sox.

I can cross these off my lists.  Love these retired legends and current PC guys in these Gypsy Queen sets.  That Buckner card really is awesome.    

  

Thanks again to Greg for all the cards.  I've had so much fun looking through them all.  I thought this Dempster card has a really good looking photo and really captured my emotions for this trade. 

Trade with The Collective Mind Blog Part 1 - Football Cards

I did a trade with Greg over at The Collective Mind and I use that term loosely because he overwhelmed me with such great cards that included football and baseball.  Today I'll show off some of the football cards which number approximately 172.  Greg did such a good job sending plenty of my Bills and Falcons as well as many PC guys across all different eras and so many different sets. This was truly a fun mail day.  Thanks Greg!

Greg took the time to send PC guys.  I know grabbing individual players can be time consuming and I do appreciate his doing that.

More than a few 1984 cards were in this package and man was I happy to see them.  This is my favorite football set of all-time and just love these cards.  

I did not have any football cards that go back to the early 70's - I do now!  Plenty of cool cards and these are so fun to add to the collection.

  There are so many Falcons and Bills cards that I didn't have.  Oh the memories these cards conjur up.  

Again this is just a small portion of the football cards.  I'll do another post in the next couple days to showcase the baseball cards I received.  Again thanks Greg!
