Mediocre street trade

Not much pickings in Al's boxes this time. He says he has dozens of long boxes of cards at home, and he brings one or two each time for me to look at, marking them when I'm done so they don't repeat. These boxes are almost always junk wax or maybe recent Topps base cards, very few cards that I need. Stars are almost always gone, and there are virtually never rarities. Sometimes, like today, it's just picking out the very few cards that are not 1988 Donruss or 1992 Score.

Mostly dupes this time; heck, the originals in my collection for a lot of these probably came from his boxes over the years. A Jake Peavy rookie and a bunch of Bowman's mostly 2014.

Still, I came away with four cards I didn't have before, and a card I don't have is a card I need. Jose Bautista rookie and some more Bowman.
