Mail Day: Trade with Johnny's Trading Spot

Great trade with John over at Johnny's Trading Spot.  Check out that blog.  I sent him a couple Topps SP Holiday cards and an ornament.  He sent me lots of great cards. This John Elway is my favorite.  I may have seen one of these somewhere but I didn't have one 'till now.  Cool card and my favorite of what he sent me just edging out a Dale Murphy card that I'll show off at the end.

Love both these cards.  Gary Matthews didn't play for the Braves long but I've always been a fan of his.  This photo is great and it look like he has some tobacco in the right cheek.  That and the pinstripes uni make this a favorite of mine and somehow I didn't have one.  Ironically he was traded for Bob Walk who is another of my favorite players.  This Murph is a Retro 1986 insert from 2020 Donruss and another card I didn't have.  

A great trio of Braves.  I love that Allen & Ginter Glavine.
Nice cards.  Bob Horner is my all-time favorite player so any time I get his cards I'm so excited.  Nice looking Hank Aaron.
Did I say how big a fan I am of Bob Horner?


Football cards?  Yep!  A few of my favorites here with Dan Fouts, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Tony Dorsett.



John went crazy with the autos and relics.  Loved these.  My favorite is DeMarre Carroll who was an Atlanta Hawk small forward for two seasons.  He had a solid career but wasn't a star.  I think it was his hair I liked the most.  These Hawks and Trail Blazers were really fun.  John really outdid himself with his generosity and taking the time to look for players I collect.  My sincere thanks and hopefully we can do another trade in the future.


I'm not a Turkey Red guy but this is one of the few I wanted and now I have.  I think this is a great looking photo capturing that Braves uni of the era and Murph's batting follow through.
