Roundup, not roundball

I couldn't care less about basketball, so while everyone around me is losing their minds about the Knicks, I'll just post the great baseball cards that I've gotten from generous bloggers and traders over the past two months.

 Nice mixture of real vintage, fake vintage, and fun shiny from yobshabob, TCDB.

Two minis, two Canadians, and a generous throw-in of two Posts, from threegreatgirls, TCDB.
May time travel winnings from Diamond Jesters. Those Canadian oddballs are great, as is my first '81 Fleer "finger" card. The "finger" is so hard to see and kind of looks like another body part.
Four fun oddballs, including my first '84 Nestle, from srose007, TCDB.
SirNailhead, my favorite new blogger, sent this dazzling shiny mizture. My favorite is the bottom middle card of Hilltop Park, home of the New York Highlanders.
Batting Out of Order, TCDB/blogger. This is our 11th TCDB trade, a personal record for both of us (on that platform, at least). My favorite is the oddball among oddballs, a Joey Meyer magazine card. It is not sitting on top of another card, that is the design.
A small lot from eBay, plus a '57 single that came in at the same time. A couple of dupes in here, but most I needed.
One card but a good one, a '72 high number of Dirty Al Gallagher, from pcantara, TCDB.
It's hard to find affordable Topps stars on eBay anymore, but this '57 Banks slipped through, probably because of the insignificant paper loss on the front.
A couple of '30s matchbooks from eBay. I believe Walter "Jumbo" Brown, who I believe is my first Yankee matchbook. I looked him up and it turns out he lived on Long Island, only a couple of miles from where I live now. Very cool!
Another affordable pre-WWII card from eBay.
It's been so long that I rounded up that we're onto the second TTT from Diamond Jesters.
Three affordable '52 Topps cards, from eBay. Really got lucky with these. I did already have the Mitchell.
Got some Posts in the post, from Mark Camps, OBC.
Two shiny birds from philliesphan, TCDB.
Love those '80s oddballs! And Yankee cards of course. MDog23, TCDB.
When I added my '84 Topps Traded needs to TCDB, mattheinz23 pounced!
ILLRIMESAYA does some damage to my '98 Metal needs list. TCDB
Finally, two trimmed cards printed a decade apart, from eBay.
