I've been playing the Diamond Giveaway game right from the start. I have 46 cards and 45 unique rings. I have acquired 20 Indian cards, through trades, that I need for my collection.
A couple days ago
I finally dug up a hit !
A Chris Carpenter die-cut.But, as thrilled as I was with this card, it really didn't fit into my collection.
TRADE TIME !!
I hit the trade lists to see who was available for the Tribe.
Let's see, there's Santana, Carmona, Choo, all die-cuts.
But I settled on Grady !!
It only took a couple hours for someone to take me up on my offer !
very cool...I had the same thing....dug up an Aaron Hill diecut...traded it for a Tiger....Max Scherzer
ReplyDeleteNice and congrats. I have had almost no luck with Diamond Giveaway, 18 tries only 1 older than 1973 (1960 Gene Stephens) and no die cuts.
ReplyDeleteI think that is one of the black diamond variety that gets you free shipping, but I am not positive.
I was pretty lucky, got two die-cuts in about 25 digs, one of which was a Rivera. Doesn't fit my collection either so I was able to work out a deal for some vintage.
ReplyDeleteI have a few virtual Indians to trade.

Offer me something same year or older and I will take it. Preferably Red Sox. I would even trade for newer Red Sox.
I don't even remember which cards I have come up with, but they aren't anything like a die cut Grady (even in trade form)! Sweet snag!
