A Dantastic Mail Day

PWE trading continues to be the driving force in my collecting world.

In the real world, it's coffee.

*takes a sip of freshly brewed coffee*

When finances are tight, a stamp or two (sometimes three) is what gets me through and helps me bring in new cards.

My latest trade with @DanPortnov shows how well trading like this helps. Dan is easy going and easy to trade with as I have done multiple deals with him now. He's the kind of person I like trading with.

In my latest haul I got a few cards from each of my favorite and top PC's.

It has been a while since I have added some Griffeys, it's about time that I did.
 
Rookie year Ad Card. May not be flashy, but I don't have it.

(I don't think the hairdresser would be able to do this to my hair, #baldingpride , #baldpeoplematter)

Two generational talents, two players that couldn't stay healthy later in their careers. Can you imagine their numbers if they stayed healthy??!

The shiny stuff always gets me. Plus, I don't have a lot of newer Griffey stuff (hint, hint). Just in case anyone reading this has other Griffeys, you can see my needs HERE.

The next part of my trade brings in some Giants.
 
New NY Giants starting QB Russell Wilson. I am not one for college cards, but I will take them of players I collect. I have collected Russell before he was in NY.  Now that he is a Giant, I look forward to adding Giant cards of him.

Wandale Robinson should thrive even more with better quarterback play. First time in a long time I am excited about the loaded Giants QB room.

Bill Parcells is a legendary coach for many teams, but this is THE TEAM that matters most.

A new Nabers!

I think he fits perfectly with his friends right here.

I don't quite know about this vintage dog card, looks like it was cut out of something, but it's pretty cool even for a cat guy.

Dwier Brown played John Kinsella in Field Of Dreams, but I have also seen him across other movies (horror) and TV shows.

Okay. Here me out. I like these. Yes, I know it's just a swatch of newspaper, but it's cool and is a piece of history.

I also like how they show a little snippet of the item the swatch has been pulled from. I wished sport card companies did this.


Two more Pieces Of The Past document relics. The relics are unique, but the card design to me is well done. I like the layout and the shine.

Thanks to Dan for our latest trade and hope we can do another one soon.

Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday.

Don't forget you can start to nominate cards for the 2025 Coffee Card Hall Of Fame!! Cards don't have to be autographs, patch cards, super star cards. It can be whatever you think is Hall Worthy! Find details and current nominations HERE.
