Big Mailday from Trade Bait... The Great Chase!

Hey guys, Drew back here. The next package in the overhaul from last week was from Marvin of Trade Bait... The Great Chase. He currently needs only 9 more relics for the entire relic set from 09 Goodwin Champions, so if you have any he needs please help him out. If I have have anything he needs it's Yankee PC, so I wouldn't wanna really get rid of them. Anyway, Marvin sent me a ton of needs off the wantlist, and surprised me with what was coming. Here are the cards:

First off, a few Yankees out of many he sent. A bunch of 2010 Topps, which basically gives me a full Yankee set I think, I have doubles of most of the cards. I really like the A-Rod/Jeter/Cano card in the set, it's nice. The Jeter Heritage is cool, when it's not destroyed by that disgusting Sox logo. He also included a few cards from Ticket to Stardom, a Posada perforated and a regular Matsui. Those are nice.

Next are a few more nice Yanks. A sweet Wang/Matsusaka Cut From the Same Cloth /999 parallel, and a Mickey Mantle chrome. The Mantles are always nice, just they produced WAY too many of him.

This is now the second time somebody sent me cards from the 2009 Piece of History set. I'm collecting the 2008 set, and if I ever get that finished I may decide to do the 2009 set. Still, cool cards!

Next are a few insert wantlist cards, including a bunch of Tales of the Game...

And History of the Game....

And a few others. He also sent a few duplicates of these, so they are for trade for any others I need. (Tales of the Game= 13, 18, History of the Game= 1) I really like the Gibson/Lincecum Legendary Lineage, did I mention I really like Bob Gibson before, haha?

And lastly, he sent a Swisher that I didn't have, and actually, I didn't even have it on the wantlist. Whoops. It's from 2009 Spectrum, and it's a pants relic of my man, Nick Swisher. Next weekend if I'm caught up I'll post my Swisher collection. It's not nearly as nice as Cano, but still kinda cool. Thanks for recognizing the hole in the wantlist dude!

Thanks so much dude for the cards, I really appreciate it, and I'll get you a package out ASAP!!! Be sure to check out his blog, he is one heck of a set collector!

I wanted to put one more card in this post, I bought this off eBay for about $15, which is not bad, and this happened days before the Jets released Thomas Jones, which in my opinion was a terrible decision, leaving this 2nd year back alone with no help:

Shonn Greene. He's an awesome back I'm tellin ya. But honestly, I think we should keep the 1400+ yard rusher on the team for now, at least as a backup. You can't just let a guy of that caliber loose that easy. So far, I'm very unimpressed with the offseason, although we did trade for Cromartie, which should boster our corner backing crew. We dropped Thomas Jones, traded Kerry Rhodes for some draft picks, and really have made moves that didn't need to be made.

Back to the card, it's from 2009 Topps Platinum football, and it's the refractor version of the autograph. They have many variations in this product like every other product these days, and this is numbered to 550. It's a really nice card, and looks great when you tilt it. It's a sticker auto, which is the one thing I don't like about the card, but it doesn't look too bad there. I'm definitely hanging on to this one, this guy should be good, let's hope he doesn't get hurt.

Ok, I think that's it for today. Have 1 more package to post, but he said he is sending more so I'm gonna wait and post it all in one. Also have a TTM return to post, that should be up tomorrow. See Ya!

White Plains Card Show Review Part 5

Part 5: J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!

Hey guys, Drew back here, and I am amped for the big game that will probably start while I'm posting the Jets I bought at the card show. My dad got me 2 of these, thanks again dad! Anyway, here goes, but first, this little video to amp me, you, the person sitting next to you, the dude throwing pistachios into a sleeping dude's mouth at an airport, or any other people up!

2009 Bowman Sterling Dustin Keller Jersey /999

Wow, Jordin Sparks does a good National Anthem. Anyway, got this card in a nice deal for dirt cheap, and it's an awesome card. I have one of his relics from that stupid premier from 2008 Bowman Sterling, and this is now my 3rd relic of his. I'd sure love to get his auto. He is a great young tight end, and he may be a big factor in today's game.

2009 UD Philadelphia Jerricho Cotchery On Card Autograph

What a nice card this is. When I traded my auto from this set of D-Bowe to Beardy, I knew I had to check for Jets in the checklist. Sure enough, one of my favorite wide receivers, Jerricho Cotchery, had an auto in the set. I'm pysched to have this card, but there is a funny story about the card too, and I'll have to tell you that in one of the next posts in the series. I think I got this for 10 bucks, which isn't bad.

2009 Upper Deck 3D Stars Shonn Greene Rookie Card

Boy I'm amped up! I think I got this for like 2 or 3 bucks, and it's an awesome card. When you tilt it it shows his college jersey, and then of course the Jets side as you see in this picture. Shonn is a great rookie and I'm excited to see how he'll play later on in his career.

1990 (or 1991) NFL Pro Set Matt Snell On Card Autograph

My dad got me this one and the next one, and nothing better than having an autograph of a 1968 NFL Super Bowl Champion. Matt was a key factor as the Jets fullback and occasional running back back in the day, so it's cool to have. He bought it at a vendor, so there's no guarantee it's authentic, the guy said he met Matt and got that auto then. He inscribed his number too, which was cool.

2007 Topps Performance David Harris Rookie Jersey Autograph

Jeez. First play, first down. Let's hope that isn't the start of bad things here in NY. Good, 3rd down. Sorry, just typing while watching, and since my subject is based on the Jets, then I could write whatever I want about them. 4TH DOWN!!! And guess who just sacked Peyton? DAVID HARRIS!!!! He's a good linebacker and this is a sweet card. Now I need an autograph of Darelle Revis, who has his own island named after him for the day!

GO JETS!!!! AND SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
