Trade time with Arpsmith, Dutch Card Guy, Reader Mark, Night Owl, Angels in Order, Nachos Grande, The Other World, Red Sox In Nebraska


When I started this blog 5 1/2 years ago, I never dreamed it would add so many new friends and Indian baseball cards to my life.  My many thanks to all of you !!


I don't really like to combine trade posts, but I have received so many packages lately that I need to, to get caught up. I have a huge stack of Tribe cards I need to sort and put away so I can update want lists and continue to work on return packages ! All the generous bloggers and readers listed here sent many more cards than pictured. I appreciate every one of them, but just don't have time to post each one. Plus, it may not be very interesting  to anyone but the one who sent the cards !
 So here we go !




Thanks to Adam for these great cards.
I especially like the Fellers, the Nagys 
and the Fun Pack Manny!



I never thought I would run into
 a baseball card collector in the Netherlands !
We have traded several times and he always
finds terrific Indian cards for me !

Thanks Jeroen !


Reader, Mark H.



I once made a random comment on another blog.
A.J. had received some nice vintage cards from Mark,
and I, half jokingly, said " I wonder if he has any Indians !".
The next thing I know I'm receiving an email from Mark !
And he did have some duplicate Indians.

Thanks Mark !
This really helped my 70's collection !



If you are reader or writer of a baseball card blog,
and don't know Night Owl, you can't be living on this planet !
He comes up with some amazing posts, his mind never seems to stop.
I love the blue Choo, the black Laffey and the minis !
Thanks, and keep up the good work !




Tom sent a note on the back of his business card :
"We haven't traded in a while.."
He's right. There are so many blogs out there,
 it's hard for an old man like me to keep track !

Terrific Albert Belle, minis and more Bob Feller !
And a Brantley partial rainbow, 
even if they are different years !
Thanks Tom, great cards !



Trade stacks !
Most of you know how this works.
If not check out his blog !
I pulled the trigger when he put up a Richie Ashburn.
I don't really collect him, but I have a 
Richie Ashburn model baseball glove from my youth,
so I grab one once in a while.

But Chris went a bit farther.


He knows I also collect wrappers.
They are all in albums but I have no want list.
That's a retirement plan !
I am in need of most Hobby Versions and 
high end wrappers and small boxes though. 

If the minis look a little unusual, they are !



An on card auto !
These were produced by a friend of his.
Great Idea !!

Thanks Chris for the cards and wrappers ! 


The Other World



Dan sent a nice assortment of Tribe cards.
I especially like the chrome Kipnis.
He's becoming one of my favorite players.
I wish I could have been around to see Doby play !

Thank you very much Dan !

And last, but not least,

Red Sox Fan in Nebraska 



Brad and I have done several  trades over the past year or so.
He came up with some great inserts, a slightly hard to find mini,
a great Standing "O"  Vizquel and I love the Prizm Bourn !

Thanks Brad !


And thanks everyone for all the trades.

I hope to have more packages going out tomorrow !!

  5. You collect wrappers!? I'll admit I considered this years ago but decided not to. I do scan a wrapper from each kind of card I buy but the wrappers go in the trash.
