I made a large trade with TCDB user Randylaw. His wantlist contained over 400 cards on my tradelist and I was happy to offload a full box of my duplicates in one shot. I shipped his cards last week and received mine sometime overnight or very early this morning (the box was sitting on my porch when I left for work at 8:45 a.m.)
I picked up plenty of stars and Hall of Famers.
Red Sox, Royals, and Redbirds. The Mike Greenwell glossy at the top left is creased :/
Relievers. I tried to balance out the list of cards I requested with some "junk wax" from sets such as 1989 Score.
The Tigers were well-represented.
About half the cards I received were baseball. I got a nice chunk of singles from the other major sports, too.
The 1978 Topps Greg Pruitt was part of a replacement lot as Randy no longer had 16 of the cards I requested.
Many of the cards Randy sent were pack-fresh, including these gems. One of my collecting goals as a kid was to own a Jim McMahon Starting Lineup figure with the Chargers. However Kenner faked me out; McMahon was listed on the 1989 checklist as a Charger but he was still a Bear when the figure was produced.
These basketball singles pair nicely with the Secret Santa gift I received from Mark Hoyle.
More Hall of Famers here, including a Charles Barkley Fleer sticker.
A new set build perhaps?
These are just some of the cards in The Second Wave. There's plenty more up ahead. Brace yourselves ;-)
Thanks for reading!
