TCDB Trade: Ymmat

I got two packages yesterday from TCDB traders, which had a lot of common with each other. Each had enough cards to be worth their own post: in fact, they had exactly 50 cards each. Also, both traders were extremely nice and sent some great cards. 

Ymmat (whose name is not Tammy) sent me a really nice mix of vintage and modern cards. 

Starting off with the vintage, three sharp '57s, with a great Yankee Stadium shot on Milt Graff's card. And a 1964 need as well, which is great even if it's a Met.

I try not to go after people's star vintage cards unless they label them as off-condition. These were labeled "good". Each one has a tiny letter T written on the back. These are certainly a lot better than "good" in my eyes.

Moving on to modern. I'm really enjoying finding oddball cards on people's trade lists. Cliff Johnson does not normally make an all-time greats card, that's a fun one. The Red Sox Coca-Cola card is a great one too.

Here are some fantastic Broders I'd never seen before. TCDB calls them the 1989 Sun Rays set. You know Gregg Jefferies was the biggest thing in 1989 when he not only gets two cards in the set, but he's the only one of these three whose name was spelled correctly. (And there were a lot of Greg Jeffries mentions back in the day, so that's kind of impressive.)

Right after posting this I noticed something else cool - check out Bam Bam's bat knob!

I'm also really enjoying the old BCM and SCD magazine cards. The Angels got some good photos on these cards.

Some more random oddballs. Jay Howell does not usually get on Highlights cards so that was another fun one. And somewhere between 1982 and 1990, the Red Sox switched from Coke to Pepsi.

A few more minor league cards with great photos (not all of them got in the picture if you are counting). That Pete Alonso subway card is a nice one too, I like any NYC-themed cards.

Adding to the variety, I also picked out a few 1975 football cards with fun backgrounds, including a couple of Jets at Hofstra training camp.
