It's been a while since I've done one of these. I slowed down greatly on trading when I was having post office problems. I believe now all of my ruined trades have been rectified, and cards I send through the neighboring post office seem to be getting delivered without issues. Therefore I've started trading on TCDB again, it's nice to see some cards coming in!
These came from Jdogbarkn2. Some fun photos and set needs, including a checklist card that finishes my 1995 Score set. That card of Brady Anderson makes me thirsty just looking at it. (The one where he is drinking, not the one where he is sliding.)
A few varied needs from swk473. My favorite is the Sanchez, my first instant replay card.
As far as the fun photos, my favorite by far is the one of the old Penn Station, torn down beginning in 1963. The photo is actually from a 1962 protest. AGBANY as you can see on the sign is not a misspelling of the NY state capital or a Hawaiian Mets outfielder, but Action Group for Better Architecture in New York, an organization of preservationists and architects who assembled to protest the demolition. The woman in the yellow dress is Jane Jacobs, a visionary in the field of urban planning and fierce critic of Robert Moses who led the successful opposition to his plan to build a parkway through lower Manhattan.
Elvis / Nixon wins it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting bit of trivia on the protest card.
