AJ (known as The Lost Collector) has been blogging four years or thereabouts. We recently completed a trade...as recently as early December! Yes, I'm still catching up. AJ graciously posted regarding our exchange last Sunday. I want to express my thanks and will attempt to do so without making any AJ-like cracks. There are no guarantees.
I'm very happy to drop my Yanks on another collector. Even more so, to a collector living so near Yankee headquarters. AJ's recycling program suits me just fine - Yanks in...Tigers out!
Minis from 86 and 88. Very similar design, two years a part. Very clean cards!
Two cards from 1984
1994 Panini Stickers. I do love stickers. The back says bend and peel. These are most unusal instructions. I can sit and peel just as easily.
1985 Leaf Evans - I'm almost certain this is the first card I have depicting the Leaf logo.
Petry is on 83 Fleer cardboard.
2012 Heritage, and a 2013 Heritage Martinez. Is it me, or does Benoit look a little more gansta each year?
2012 Bowmans include a Tyler Collins rookie. His cards can often be found on COMC listed under Ty Cobb. Could this be a sign of future greatness? Of course, Ty Cobb is often listed under Tyler Collins. AJ threw in 2011, 2013 and 2014 Topps Updates including a 2013 Chrome Update Verlander.
I truly like the 2002 Donruss design. It would've been much improved sans the blank, black box on the bottom front border. Miggy powers up on 2014 Topps. I wanted to lick this card. It looks so grapey good. Turner shines on 2012 Bowmans Best - pretty much all the shining he did with the Tigers. He's now a Cubby and a youngster at 23.
2014 BP purple parallel looks pretty edible too. 2012 Topps Archives. I enjoy receiving these cards because I won't purchase Archives. The set is too confusing and just one more Topps marketing ploy.
2011 Topps Marquee Miggy numbered 68/299. The first Marquee in my collection. In fact, the first time I'd heard of Marquee. Good-looking, thicker card.
AJ thank you for the trade! You added some nice cards to my Tiger collection!
I enjoyed the trade as well. Hope we can trade again in the near future!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll be on the lookout for some nice Yanks for you.
DeleteNice cards. I remember having some of those 88 minis as a kid. Never a fan of minis, I must say that was one that I liked. Hope the new year is treating you good.
ReplyDeleteHi there! All is well in Texas. Happy New year to you Phil!
