Trading Time - Mark's Ephermera and Infield Single Cards

I'll try to get this one right.

I was very politely informed that my last trade post was in error.

Old Foul Cardboard sent some 2014 Topps cards that apparently got lost on my desk. He says the cards I posted were not from him !  I'm working on getting that straightened out.

Meanwhile I'll try this again !


Mark from, Mark's Ephemera,  send a PWE with a couple Fleer cards.

These are from the 1994 Extra Bases set.

The cards measure 2 1/2 x 4 11/16 so they are awkward to store, although, 6 cards fit nicely in the bottom two rows of a standard page. There are 16 Indians in the base set #'s 55-70.

I still need 56,58,59,61,62,64,67, 69 and 70.

(in case you have any odd ones lying around !)

Thanks Mark, for adding these two.

The next PWE is from Jeremy, at Infield Single Cards.

 

First up, three innocent looking Steve Olin cards.

20 years ago yesterday, Jim and fellow pitcher Tin Crews

 died in a tragic boating accident during spring training.

The 1992 Fleer card I had.

The 1992 Topps Gold I needed !

(I had the Gold Winner's version, but not the base gold)

 I have the 1992 Upper Deck, but wait, as I flip the card

 over, this is a gold hologram  version, 

found only in factory sets !

I'm now down to needing only 18 of 67 Steve Olin cards !

So this PWE is looking pretty good so far.

Next a couple Jim Thome cards.

I do have these two from the beginning of his career.

But it never hurts to have more Thome cards !

Now it gets more interesting !

  

Four Auto's I did not have !!

2003 Bowman Jeremy Guthrie, on card, Signs of the Future

2010 Panini Joe Gardner Extra Edition 637/819

2010 Bowman Brett Brach

1996 Leaf Wayne Kirby, on card

Technically, the Wayne Kirby is a Dodger card.

But he is in an Indian uniform !

Thanks for the great cards Jeremy !!

 

What do Chipp 'n' Dale and Old Foul Cardboard have in common ?

They both sent me  Tribe cards !


irondequoit36 at Old Foul Cardboard 
                           sent a nice assortment :

Kazuhito Tadano  047/200  Press Proof

Bob Lemon SP Legendary cuts

Manny Ramirez Star Rookie Electric Diamond

Fausto Carmona Chrome Heritage

Dennis Eckersley  Ultra

Manny Ramirez 7-11 Ruby Red parallel

Danny Salazar, hopefully our future star

and another Man Ram !

 

Chris also sent some 2014 Topps, but he photos got  'lost in space' !


Next up :
Chunter from Chipp 'n' Dale

First a Travis Hafner  Fathead
I have a few of these but not this one.
I also have quite a few to trade if anyone is interested.

 Trever just can't quite seem to make the transition.
Hopefully will turn around this year.

I didn't even know Nick was in this set !
I just haven't been with it the last year or so.

At first I thought, a Padres card ?

Then I looked closer.
Still not sure it qualifies as an Indian card.

Some various rainbows.
Always nice to add these !

And then the Metal !

And more Metal.

I always liked Metal Universe,
although I like the earlier years better

 Last but not least, a couple minis !

Thanks much, to both of you guys, for the great cards !!

The Song You've Been Waiting For !

Well, beat the drum

and hold the phone

the sun came out today !

We're born again

there's new grass on the field.

A - rounding third and

headin' for home, it's a brown eyed handsome man.

Anyone can understand the way I feel !

Oh, put me in coach,
I'm ready to play, today.

So put me in coach,
I'm ready to play, today.

Look at me, I can be
centerfield !

Well I spent some time with the Mudville nine,
watchin' it from the bench .

You know I took some lumps
 when the Mighty Casey struck out.

So Say Hey Willie,

tell Ty Cobb
and Joe DiMaggio.

Don't say it ain't so,
you know the time is now.

Oh, put me in coach,
I'm ready to play, today.

 Put me in coach,
I'm ready to play, today.

Look at me,
I can be
centerfield !

 Got a beat up glove,

 a homemade bat

and a brand new pair of shoes.

I think it's time to give this game a ride.

So hit the ball

and touch 'em all.
A moment in the sun.

(pop) it's gone
and you can tell that one goodbye !!

I'm back, with Cards That Sing a Song

You can't get rid of me that easily !






There were a lot of things going on around the holidays and I got really behind on everything. Also, my " new " card room did not work out as planned. So I did some rearranging and work should flow much better now ! Everything is much more organized and hopefully things will get back to normal. Actually, I hope things will be better !








My first project is to get a plethora of trade packages out.






For now, here is a project I have been working on for about a year. I'm still looking for a few different cards, but you should get the basic idea !






Well, due to an unknown problem downloading pictures, this post will be continued at a later date!









Regardless of what you might have heard.........

I'm am still alive and well !!

This has been a very busy month for our family and some plans have changed several times.

God was looking down on us when our 4 1/2 month old Granddaughter had to have surgery.
A small hole had to be drilled to allow fluid to drain from her brain, but all went well and she is fine !

But our family Christmas has been moved to New Years.


Speaking of Christmas !!

With my new man cave, I now have a full size baseball tree.

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't get my Pacific Ornament cards on this year.

I'll have to do some rearranging !

 

I also received a card in the mail yesterday from The Diamond King.

Kevin sent me this great Lou Boudreau card.

 

 

# 16 of 25 !

 

Thanks !!!

 

I'm also part of a Secret Santa group over at Crackin' Wax.

 

I received a surprise package from one of the  sponsers, Ultra Pro.

 

 

Two packs of sleeves,

 

 

 

100 9-pocket pages and

 

 

an album to put them in !!

 

I always use Ultra-Pro products so these were much appreciated !!

 

 

I know I also owe packages to several bloggers out there.

I try to keep track, so you will be receiving them !!

 

Hopefully after the first of the year, things will get back to normal !!

 

I hope to not offend anyone, but....

 

 

 

Have a

 Merry Christmas

and a

 

Happy New Year !!
