Catching up on some Thank Yous

These last few weeks have been a little hectic around the house and with work so to say I've fallen a little behind is an understatement.

I've worked out several trades, participated in a group break and was blessed w/ a free card from a fellow Braves blogger...but I haven't had the time to show my appreciation until now.

Braves blogger A Rookie (baseball) Card Collector posted the contents of a single pack of '12 Gypsy Queen some time ago and there was a mini of Frank Thomas.  I simply asked if it was available and she sent it to me free of charge.  Of course I've got a nice little Braves care package to send in return.  What I didn't know until the card arrived that it was a red back.  Nice.

Robert from $30 A Week Habit graciously sent me some cards from my '12 A&G & GQ want lists.  I'm particularly excited about the 2 People of the Bible minis.

Shane from Off the Wall and I completed a trade where I sent him a bunch of '12 A&G minis and he sent me several cards from my various want lists as well as a stack of Braves which I picked out a few to share.

I'm usually so busy hosting group breaks that it's rare that I get to participate in one, but recently Juuust a bit outside (JABO) was holding a break that I couldn't resist.  I didn't land anything earth shattering, but that's how the group break thing goes.  Though I did get a Spectrum card of Frenchy that I didn't have!

I was trying to work out a deal w/ ARPSmith's Sportscards Obsession for a Dan Uggla A&G relic he had by offering a Archives Fan Favorites auto of the "Kung Fu Panda", but he already had the card.  A few days later I got an e-mail asking for my address.  Now I owe him some extra Giants cards!  Thanks bud!

If by chance I left anyone out that I've dealt with recently it's not on purpose.  I'm so unorganized right now I may need to take some time off to get my crap in order after I'm done w/ these next two Affordable Group Breaks.

Speaking of the AGB, the Stadium Club boxes should be here today when I get home from work so I'll start ripping and scanning this evening as I watch WWE RAW.

New Hudson & Gwynn jersey cards via trade

2003 Fleer Patchworks National Patchtime #103/300

Shane from OFF THE WALL listed this awesome Tim Hudson patch card last week and I was quick to make him an offer.  It didn't take long to strike a deal and now I'm the proud owner of my very first patch card of Huddy.  Thanks Shane!

I recently posted some new trade bait cards here on my blog and the first (and only thus far) person to reply was NY Hitman 23 of Sports 'n More Trading Cards.  Not surprisingly the first card to go was my nice Don Mattingly pinstripe jersey card from 2002 Fleer.  In exchange I got my 2nd Tony Gwynn jersey card:

2005 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Classic Classic Materials jersey

Now the card is already pretty cool if you ask me, but it would have been so much cooler if the jersey piece was from the pictured camouflage jersey!  


Oh well, thanks for the card Hitman!
