Area 40 giveaway winnings

Area 40, aka Jaybarkerfan, had a huge giveaway to close out his card collecting career. The Yankees were already taken, so I picked my second-favorite team, the Cardinals, and originally also picked the NY Giants, but later swapped that with Sports Card Collectors for the Mariners. Some great cards here, especially on the Cardinals side.

Some huge star-power in the Cardinals relics. If I didn't already have a DiMaggio bat card that Musial would be the best one in my collection. The only slight drawback is the design. Is there any 60s player less psychedelic than Stan Musial?
 Some nice Mariners cards here too. Barely a spot of color on any of these cards but they still look great.
 Wes also threw in a few non-baseball items, I guess from sports no-one wanted. These are up for trade if anyone wants them.
Tennis - Rafael Nadal - towel relic
Tennis - Alona Bondarenko - autograph
Soccer - Conor Casey - jersey relic
