Trade with Night Owl

When Night Owl was recently gifted with a box with lots of 1969/1970 cards I was hoping he was having some extras I could trade for. He did  - here is what I got, in exchange for some 1970s and some tennis relics:

1969. My favorite is the Chris Short card, probably the best Wrigley Field shot I've seen on a baseball card.
 1970 and 1971. That Lowell Palmer card is a famous photo I'm happy to add to my collection.
 1973 and 1974. I've been re-reading the book Ball Four and Ralph Houk is a key person in that book.

    The Short card isn't at Wrigley Field. That's the Polo Grounds. The Mets last played there in 1963, meaning Topps used a six-year-old picture.

    Nice pickups, for sure. I like that 1970 Mazeroski card. The '70 Sizemore is a classic, too.

    It feels pretty good to be able to throw around vintage in trades. I hope I can continue to do that.
