Cards from bloggers

Got a couple of nice packages of cards from a couple of great bloggers in the past week . . . 

The Collector Chris was soliciting some TCDB trades and I was glad to find some cards for him. A lot of the cards going both ways were from recent Topps Update sets, but there were others.

I'm sure Chris was happy to get these Yankees and a Giant out of his house.
S.R. '75 Stuart had some extra 2001 Upper Deck Legends of New York cards he generously sent my way. These are the cards with the fuzzy team logos. Starting off with some Brooklyn Dodgers, including two Jackie Robinsons.
On to the New York Giants. Bobby Thomson is on there a couple of times. I noticed on the back of his card, his career numbers were a lot better than I thought. If he hadn't broken his ankle in '54 he could have been a legit Hall of Famer.
On to the Mets. I don't care for the Mets but these individual players I bear no ill will towards. 
The highlight, of course, is the Yankees. I had a lot of Yankees from this set already but was missing most of the cards of the "Mount Rushmore" of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle. These get me a lot closer to a complete set!
