'22 needs from Diamond Jesters

Not every trade with Diamond Jesters is a time travel trade. Matt, a Red Sox fan, turned out to be interested in some extra Roger Clemens cards I picked up recently. In return he sent me some 2022 Topps set needs. The big names here are Mike Trout and Kris Bryant, two 30-year-old superstars who already seem to be aging a bit, and whose legacy will be determined by how productive they are over the next 5-10 years. Trout, at least, is a Hall of Famer anyway and getting one of his cards is always a treat. The back of Trout's card quotes Joe Maddon as saying Trout is "pure as a New Jersey snowfall". I've never thought of NJ as being particularly clean or pure.

Nicest photo here is probably the Alcides Escobar, looks like he's celebrating a walk-off hit.
